We'll thank you on anything and everything we release as long as Whatevski Records is in business. And we'll list you as a founding patron of Big Tunes, and have your picture on the Wall of Supporters. On top of that, we'll give you a Whatevski Gold account, giving you access to every record that ever comes out on the label. Plus, all the other rewards including a few extra vinyl and CD copies.

Got my LP and CD--fantastic!
Creator TG on December 13, 2011
To clarify my earlier statement. I am not conducting a witch hunt. Yes, it sucks that a year's work was put up for free on the web in the form of the kickstarter download. But generally we don't chase down piracy. And, anyone who's ever dealt with me, or Whatevski knows that we're not assholes, and go above and beyond to make our fans and community happy.
However, the reason for the possible takedown is all business related, and not a punishment. Since the record is cover songs, we are beholden to the original rights holders, like Madonna, Elton John, and Jefferson Airplane. I don't want to have to deal with their legal teams, or publishing reps.
As hard as it is to get an illegal download taken down from a Russian piracy site, it's even harder to prove that the label had nothing to do with the illegal download, and that we're in the right as far as the royalties we've paid out.
That's all. I'm sorry some of you got upset with the harshness of the situation. Hoping if you were put off, that we can all file it under "shit happens".
If you'd like to talk privately, email me directly at tg@whatevski.org.
Peace and love,
Tom

There's an unlucky 2% we can't figure out. Going to do it manually. A few quick things to try. Please shut down your browser and clear the cache. Then try again. Otherwise email get@whatevski.com with "KS Account help" and I'll hook it up.
Creator Ryan Hausey on December 13, 2011
Same here, Gerardo. Tom's been really helpful, but it's a no-go on the account creation so far.
Creator Gerardo Lomeli on December 13, 2011
I'm unable to create a whatevski account, the whatevski site simply won't create one. Any suggestions?
Creator Lance Nishihira on December 12, 2011
I'm ready!

Creator Jakb! on December 6, 2011
any idea how long it takes for a pledge to clear? Or when rough eta of when download will be available? So excited, waiting with much anticipation! I have a feeling this is going to be a great set of tunes.

Congratulations on breaking 10 grand!
Creator Colleen Cooney on December 6, 2011
So glad I got my pledge in, before this project was closed. Thank you to the Slackers for having a blend of music that's better then a cup of Starbucks coffee!
Creator TG on December 2, 2011
We will contact you in a few days to ask which format you want.
Creator Robin Plunk on December 2, 2011
Is there any way of knowing whether or not you'll get the vinyl or cd on the $20 pledge option? It just says "or" and never gives you any sort of way to choose between the two.
Creator Jakb! on November 29, 2011
Thanks for keep it alive! Big up every time!
