Blog Love
My recently released EP Tomorrow is the Destroyer found some attention this week on the blogs Paper Pistol and Boom Boom Chik. The Louisville Eccentric Observer also reviewed the album in this week’s issue. Bit of an odd one there. Can’t tell if the reviewer liked it or disliked it. Random references to Tom Waits and a supposed composer called “brainbeats” (with no “h” I guess) that doesn’t seem to exist according to Google. Oh well. Whether they liked it or not, I’m just glad someone took the time to write about it.
TITD On Sale
It has been a couple weeks since my debut EP Tomorrow is the Destroyer was released by Ropeadope Records, and if you haven’t checked it out, please take a listen. The EP is exclusively digital, meaning you won’t be finding it at any record stores. Why, you ask? It’s the wave of the future. Printing CDs isn’t cheap, and the return on that investment is unpredictable, since such a large percentage of listeners download their music these days. Personally, I consider myself an audioiphile, and still prefer to buy hard copies (especially vinyl), but I do my fair share of downloading as well. On the plus side, the extra money saved by not printing CDs was able to go directly into the production of the music, hopefully providing a top-notch listening experience.
The EP should be available almost everywhere digital music is sold, including iTunes. For the highest quality files, I recommend purchasing directly from the Ropeadope Digital Store.

Final Countdown – Freemix Vol. 4
Just 3 more days until the release of Tomorrow is the Destroyer on Ropeadope Records! In celebration of the release, and in somewhat belated honor of Ropeadope’s 10th anniversary, the final piece in my freemix countdown is a mish-mash megamix constructed entirely from releases by Ropeadope artists over the past 10 years (close to 30, in fact). How well do you know your Ropeadope? There are samples from DJ Logic, Charlie Hunter, Medeski Martin and Wood, and The Word, just to name only a few.
As always, stream the track using the player on the right, or download it, along with the 3 previous weeks’ remixes, from the media page.
Freemix Volume 3
This week’s remix might be my personal favorite, possibly because I love the Frou Frou song “Let Go,” and I never get tired of listening to it. This remix of said song includes additional samples from Phish, Of Montreal, Fiona Apple, Fine Young Cannibals, and more. As always, you can listen online with the player on the right, or download the track for free from the media page.
