It’s official: Dying Stars on iTunes

October 9th, 2006 | Comments (3)

After months of anticipation, my very own seven-song EP entitled Dying Stars is available for download on the iTunes Store(!).

The idea of the album was hatched on a car ride home last November, at which point only three of the eventual seven tracks were completed (Stuck In My Heart, Last Time, and A Nail). Soon after, I set up a donation system to help cover the costs of recording, etc.

With the help of Eric Thorsen of Thorsen Music Productions, I began recording the album in January 2006, naïvely thinking it would be finished by February. I was wrong, and it took until early June to finish, but in that time I wrote two new songs which made it on the album (98 Miles and If You Return).

Thanks to Eric for recording and educating me in the world of sound production and to all of the musicians who make my music sound better than it actually is. I will get around to printing nice hard copies of the album sometime (they are designed, and they look nice), but for now you’ll just have to scrounge up $6.93 and buy it on iTunes.

• I worked at Burger King for five years and I still remember watching the training videos on my first day. Although they were outdated, they weren’t as ridiculous as this training video for Wendy’s from the 1980’s. 10/03/2006
