The Story on Wish Upon a Bottlecap
Wednesday, December 31st, 2008…It’s done.
It’s been done for some months now.
The problem now is just getting the money together to press it and copyright the last few songs. When will that happen? I don’t know. I’m being honest with you, friends. I took a few pretty bad financial hits in 2008 and it’s all I can do to take care of myself right now.
Sooooo… no promises on when it will be done, but it will be awesome when it is! I know I’ve been saying that for a few years now.
I’m thinking hard about what I can do to get it released ASAP and I’m open to ideas. The only thing I’m definitely NOT doing is burning it at home and selling half-assed copies of it at shows. This is going to be a real album. We’ve worked too hard for it not to be.
I’m going to start taking pre-orders for it as soon as the band and I have a talk and settle the details about that. Pre-ordering for “whenever it comes out” kinda sucks, so I’ll include something to make it worth your while (a badass, otherwise-unreleased acoustic track that you can download right away, perhaps?).
Also, all sales of my homegrown burn-it-and-print-it-as-needed acoustic release, The Four Songs I Have Copyrighted Right Now, are going directly into the “press Wish Upon a Bottlecap!” fund. You can get that online at roriekelly.com/Music.html, or at any show.
Finally, if anyone wishes to support a starving artist, here is a nice little Paypal “Donate!” button. If you donate $10 or more I’ll send you a free signed copy of the aforementioned CD, or, if you already have it, uh… something else cool. Yeah!
That’s all, folks. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
<3,
rorie
