My NEW album 'Help Yourself' available NOW!
It's kind of surreal really, since this is my first record and all. It's sort of been a long, crazy process that started 3 years ago. Some of the songs that made the cut were never initially meant to be anything. They were put away for a long while but recently brought back to life and revamped with new parts and freshly remastered. Some of the songs are practically brand new. All of the material has been remixed and remastered for the album. It's definitely interesting and satisfying to have so much work solidified and represented by some great artwork courtesy of Jakob Hohenbalken as well as some by myself.
Anywho, if you'd like to pick one up drop me a line. Cost is $11.99 plus S&H (2 bucks) and track listing is as follows:
1. Drone
2. Second Chance
3. M20
4. Long Time Gone
5. Somber
6. State Of The Union?
7. False Start
8. Home
9. The Circus Left Town
10. Inverted
To order I have a Paypal link set up on my myspace page, www.myspace.com/theskinnyfiles. Upon receiving your payment, I'll sign the CD and send it your way. If you don't have a credit card I will also accept a check or money order.
Quantities are limited so speak now or forever hold your peace!

I will bow down to you if you recoup that. I considered it and was glad I didn't invest.
Yes, I sold a bunch.
No, I didn't make a cent back, even burning them myself. I lost my money on the mastering.
I did everything myself, but paid for mastering. By then, I'd run out of what I was monetary willing to throw at my project, so I decided to offer it online for next to nothing ... and still no one was that interested.
I don't take it to heart. I did it my way ... lol ...
But from here on out, I'm going to do it my way w/o spending too much money their way.
:^D

Good luck with the album sales Jesse ... If you would could I ask you to please think about putting one back for me ... ? I'd really like to have one and I will be able to purchase one in a month or two ...

Kev I only got a very few amount to start... which made them rather pricey per unit, but I figure I'll start out with a small batch and if I get rid of those I'll get some more. So far it seems to be going pretty well.
Sam, of course, I'd love to save you a copy. :) I'm sort of surprised and flattered you'd want one.

Jessie I would like one.... and I would like to get one for Sam as a Birthday present :) Let me know how much and where to send the check... You will have to get Sam's address from Him.
Sam, we all have birthdays, even if I am a bit early.... ... Or a bit late :)
Thanks,
Jeff

OK Jeff!
The CD is $12 and I've decided to go with Paypal as a payment method. I'll have a link on my page. I've had an account forever I don't know why I didn't just think of that to begin with.

Wow ... the man of many words is almost speechless ... thanks guys ! ...
Jesse ... of course I want one man ... you are talented and I enjoy listening to the future of music, especially when it is in the here and now ... My kids will have to fight over who gets this autographed copy after you are rich and famous and I am dead and gone .. :)
Jeff ... GULP ! ... No ... Make that DOUBLE GULP !! ... What can I say except this ... Watch the Cosmos Brutha, something good is headed your way ... and thank you, this CD will have more meaning than anything in my collection ...

Wow you guys, cool! This is a special moment right here. :) Sam if I had made a bunch more copies and they weren't so expensive to make I'd just give you one buddy. I probably should anyway. Really cool of you to support me and my music. You too Jeff! Thanks guys! Seriously.
Oh and Jeff you'll be able to just swing by and order using your credit card or debit card, you won't need to use your Paypal. It should be just like checking out at amazon or google or what have you.

OK, I've got my album squared away now. If anybody wants one just visit my myspace page and use the link below my player... www.myspace.com/theskinnyfiles
Unfortunately when they sent me the second batch it was just the CD's, so I have to go through and unwrap them all and put the proper CD in there... which kinda sucks cuz I liked the plastic wrap, made it seem more official.

Jessie,
I think that is unacceptable bro, you should be able to send the first batch back with the artwork, and they should absolutely pay to repackage them with the correct cd's in the shrink wrap. It was their mistake, the way they handled it seems very unprofessional. Have you talked to a manager there? They have some competition and I would think they would show a little custumer service. Let them know you have many friends on this site who are recording CD'S and will need packaging, and that we are watching this unfold....
This is your first CD, you deserve better treatment from OASIS.
Jeff

Jeff, I agree... but here's the deal... this has turned into a 3 week caper that I have no more patience for. It would be cool to have the shrink wrap, but after thinking about it, I would have ended up taking it off anyways to sign the inside of the disc and write little personal notes... so I suppose it's six of one, half dozen of the other.
I'm still not sure if the paypal link will provide me with a shipping address upon ordering, so don't be surprised if I ask you for it after recieving payment.

5/5/2009 9:31:28 PM
Oh man, that's a ton Sam... I only ordered a tinsy tiny amount to start... that's why they were sort of pricey per unit.
But yeah I'm actually thinking about making the bogus discs into coasters or just gluing them to telephone poles or something as a cool way to promote the disc.

Glad to hear the fiasco with the RIGHT Cover and packaging, but WRONG music (i.e. NOT Yours!) worked out.
So my address is available at the top of my IAC page; Send me a copy of yours, and I'll send you my latest release, with 19 original tracks, like we had talked about--if you're still down.
CONGRATS !!! I know your gonna get your stuff OUT there, 'cause it's KILLER.

Jessie,
I just ordered one for me, and as promised I got one for Sam. He gave me an address, and it is being sent to a Lady to give to Sam ....That figures :) I put the shipping address on the order.
There will be two separate orders in my name, one to me in Cal, and the other to Sam in Arizona.
I look forward to receiving it, Congrats on your CD, it is an accomplishment you should be proud of.
Regards,
Jeff

Hey - the CD arrived today (Friday). First thing: that was prompt service! Second thing: yep, that was me, you got it right. Important thing: the CD is great, you did a kick ass job all around - there is nothing "not to like" about it. I t's not a good "indie CD", it's not a good "guitar CD" - IT'S JUST FLAT OUT A GOOD CD. It plays out like an "album", not just a collection of tracks and I can see this one going into regular rotation in my car. You done good, $14 well spent.
BTW - at high volumes "M20" really phux me up, that is some wild ass shit...

Thanks Jesse -- You're AWESOME -- I'll be lookin' for the package with a RETURN address for sending my latest CD to you!!
There's at least 5 songs on your CD that I already LOVE from IAC, so I have no doubt the remaining 5 picked by you are tight as hell.
ROCK on Jesse.

SWEET! Rock on jingo, glad you like it man. Really appreciate the kind words, makes me realize all my troubles are worthwhile. :) I like it M20 too, one of my favs!
No problem Phlegmie. You've done so much to support me and get my tunes heard, the least I could do is send you a CD. :)
Cool Duane! Looking forward to hearing from you... but if you read my other thread, my PayPal button is boigues right now... so I'm going to try to get one working on my IAC page. If nothing else, I can email a link directly to you.
