If you get there soon enough you’ll find four newly released songs from the upcoming Delivery Is Possible album “Dearest Betty Bug”. Three of those songs have never before been available for public consumption. Consume them while you can!
Remember that not everyone cares enough to share this kind of special Delivery Is Possible material with you. Yes, a lot of people do, and it’s good that you count us with them. Thank you.
In recompense for your generosity and attention, we’ll commit to spend more time thinking about how to brighten our fine corner of the wide area network. As always, send your comments and suggestions to the webmaster.
The new release will be available on iTunes. When it is, we’ll post.
These days it’s important to listen only to music that makes you feel good. Time is short and I know that me personally I’ve got like no room in my life for audio content. There’s one part of my day when I need to listen to music and that’s when I need a psychological boost to run an extra mile on the treadmill during my lunch break.
There has never been anybody ever to compose music specifically for this purpose. Search iTunes and CDBaby for “extra mile on the treadmill” and you’ll see. The world needs this music now more than any other moment before in the history of people listening to high energy tunes in the gym.
If you’re like me, you’ve come to expect the world from the internet (for free). With that in mind, here are two handcrafted and loud songs to make the most of your next lunchtime trip to the gym:
Download: HRMY part ii
(windows users right click and “save as”, mac users option + click and “save to disk”)
Download: BTTR part ii
(windows users right click and “save as”, mac users option + click and “save to disk”)
Don’t let the track titles fool you, this isn’t any of that artsy experimental noise crap. If there were to be one word that captures the essence of this material, that word should be “achieve!”. You can do it. Don’t stop at 6.2 mph, go for 6.3 (or faster). Exclamation marks connote that faster is indeed an acceptable option. Check back soon for ringtones.
News:
I’m thankful for the fucking holidays and you better be too.
Nearly finished with a new body of work in the post-disco genre. Also on the verge of having last year’s “Macro-Virus-Executable” mastered and released in all it’s previously unheard glory. Did you know that I was wrong about the triple LP? I think I did, but I posted about it anyhow. It’s my blog, and as they say, if you don’t like it go git yer own.
It looks like the handy audio player application is broken. Oh well. The new post-disco tracks are going to make you happy, that’s a promise. Maybe they’ll be out in December. Maybe later.
Plus, you might have noticed that’s two (2) full length releases complete for 2008. There will be more to come in 2009 including:
* new record label
* sounds from other parts of the world
* as many guest musicians as Craigslist will reasonably afford
Tomorrow night we can all take a break from watching sports on the tv. Head over to Amnesia at 853 Valencia in San Francisco to witness an exceptional set of local rock and roll.
I’ve been producing a lot of new material for the show. I’ll open maybe around 8:30, and then play like a dj in between sets by Micropixie, Whitey on the Moon, and Andalou. Video artist Kosho will be there, along with a small video crew and your normal assortment of semi-pro photographers.
I even took a break from the tv today to send out a promotional gift to all my wonderful online social networking friends; a free exclusive download of the freshest Delivery is Possible material (recorded and mixed last night!). Tentatively titled “Untitled_5″, the composition is lovingly dedicated to the manufacturers and distributors of AmbienCR (zolpidem tartrate extended-release) CIV.
Untitled_5 will be on the upcoming record, although it’s going to be bigger, bolder, and perhaps sleepier. It’s being re-arranged for quintet.
Of course the song is available here for a limited time. When it’s up you can find it over on the right with all the other links. When it’s not up that means you can’t find it there because the studio forced me to take it down before the Scandinavian pirates come around.
In case you do miss it, I apologize, my hands are tied. The best remedy for that situation is to contact Aquarius and Amoeba records (go ahead and call them both) in regards to the upcoming Delivery is Possible debut double triple LP retail $34.79 titled “macro-virus-executable”. The buyers at both of those stores are terrific so please be specific when you call. Accept no substitutes.
AND,
If you want to get more free music in the future, send me your email. I’ll see if we can work out some kind of deal between the website and the studio. The musicians will play for free, hell, they’re musicians.
Leif Erikson Drive by Delivery is Possible features music, words, and other digitally processed information. Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s some early feedback from our triple blind R&D process:
Leif Erikson Drive Test Critic 002: “nice job”
Leif Erikson Drive Test Critic 006: “i lost my cellphone”
Not a major production. A quick live take with no editing and a small amount of mixing. It’s a sketch recording meaning maybe we’ll rearrange it later. I like this one as is so you might like it too.
There’s a clear picture in my mind of exactly where and how and why and when this song takes place. I can feel the cheap upholstery of the car, plastic buttons that fade the radio back, the leaves of a dirt sidestreet overgrown with elm trees…
This song will be available here until I take it down. You can’t get it in myspace or nowheres else so you’re at the right place at the right time [Ed: it's gone, you missed it]
