So, my new livingroom carpet CD--anyone interested?

[catsittingstill]

I'm putting together a CD, by the good graces of my little mp3 recorder. The songs aren't dressed up; there's no multitracking capability--whatever I can do in one runthrough I can record. I didn't insist on perfect takes; trucks go by outside the window, etc, so I figured I would just go for "good enough." I don't guarantee the loudness will be consistent from track to track, either.

That said, it's pretty decent, and there are 19 new songs on it. I am proposing to offer them free to, say the first ten people who ask for them here. I will even mail them out for free.

The catch is that I would like you to be my distribution points for further copies of the CD. Meaning I would like you to agree to burn a copy for whoever asks you, for free.

Does that seem fair? Is anyone interested? I can hand out copies at FKO too--but after the first 7 CDs you will need to supply your own CD-R.

In other news I am scrambling to prepare for FKO. I have mapquest directions to various people's houses and to the con Hotel. I have checked the weather forecast for Mississauga. I have packed everything I can pack tonight. I have arranged for the car to go to the shop tomorrow morning. I even called the shop today to remind them what parts they might want to order early so they won't have to wait for them. Now there's little left to do but bite my nails and try to sleep.

Harold, should I just try to get one from you? I can certainly also burn & distribute by the bunch. The next housefilk is Saturday night, if there's a downloadable website.

JohnO has ripped the CD and posted mp3s on his website; unfortunately he didn't say where on his website. I'll ask him and see what he says. In the meantime, I did send a copy to Harold, so you should be able to get a copy from him if that works better.

Thanks, Cat! a) for responding so promptly and b) for making and sharing your cd in the first place.

If you get a track listing or liner notes posted somewhere, please send word to Harold. He'll pass it along in the LJ filk communities, rec.music.filk, etc.; he's good at that.

I posted a track listing on my lj here (http://catsittingstill.livejournal.com/47663.html#cutid1). I will reply to Harold's comment too, to make sure he sees it.

Thanks again!

I got the CD today in the mail. Thanks! Filkferengi will get a copy via me in the near future. (I have to mail her other stuff too.)
