      the songs that have been put up previously on the sixty one are not the mastered tracks that you will get, we've sent out emails to everyone and posted about the technical issues we were having and that the digital download was going out as soon as we received it. we just got it last night and started the process of sending them out right away. if you haven't gotten yours yet, it is coming. they are being sent individually and that takes time. We posted Hipster Bitch on the sixty one so everyone could listen to it.

      I'm disappointed! Even though it is wonderful to see the hype about the new songs on thesixtyone, the backers are still waiting for their digital downloads while everyone can buy them from thesixtyone. :(

      I had already backed you and saw you were at 348, but I wanted to make sure you made 350 - so I got my husband and son to back you too. They love your music also; especially "Don't Let Go". Keep the great music coming!!!
