good news!

[craig johnston]

hurrah, hooray and splazam!

our cd is gonna be released in the middle of may.
it's hard to describe what this means to me. i have
been in various bands, djing, producing, making music
since 1977.
and now, at this late stage, i am finally going release
a cd of my music.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
:)

[Hermione]

yayyy! Congratulations!! =)

[melissa]

That's awesome, Craig!!

[sparticle]

Hey, good for you! Let us know when it's out and where we can buy a copy!

[craig johnston]

oooh, thanks ladies.
i will bore you to death with info over the next few weeks!
don't know about u.s./can distribution as yet, but i'll let you
know.
thanks again for the support. it's very exciting.
;)

[madasacutsnake]

[craig johnston]

^^^^

[Hyakujo's Fox]

Nice one!

Concept album? ;)

[zenbabe]

Awsome!

[madasacutsnake]

Well then you could say it's been distributed in Australia. If you send one to the H Fox too, you might even say widely distributed.

[Willow Sylph]

How cool. Congrats, Craig!

[xfox]

Very wonderful! Can you give us a few track titles? Fast? slow? soft? loud?

[craig johnston]

aaw, thanks everyone. specially smarty p.
who are all those other people? i'm the only chap
without a beard.

[Zaftig]

Trés cool!

[Frieda]

mr johnston, how about european distribution? :D




(also,there's tickets available now for this nice event: http://www.dancevalley.nl/ )

[craig johnston]

^^^^^
looks nice frieda, can you supply the drugs?
;)

seriously though folks, thanks again for all the encouragement.
i'd just like to make it clear that we are dealing with a low-scale
seat of yer pants type operation here. we will be overjoyed if we
cover our costs. it's a very small label, two people operating out
of the back of a shoe box, and there will be no money for marketing
and all that.
this is indie alternative style, uncool, unhip but lots of fun.
:)

[Frieda]

in addition to my own home pain killers pharmacy, i can also provide food and shelter :D


i can help to promote your music if you want. just let me know!

[dinzdale]

and I was hoping for a re-make of "Boom-Bang-a-Bang"... :(

[Smartypants]

i'm the only chap
without a beard.

Silly. Aretha's holding a mike in front of her chin -- that is NOT a soul patch!

[rmr]

awesome -- way to go -- can't wait for my copy!!!

[zero]

awesome -- way to go -- can't wait for my copy!!!

^ she means teh copy i'm going to burn for her after i've downlaoded it from soulseek

[rmr]

^^^ why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free -- that's what zero always says ;)

[craig johnston]

she means the signed copy she'll get once she's got
her knickers off!
:D

[rmr]

still fiddling :eek:

and did you say knickers -- when did we jump to knickers -- i thought i was fiddling with my pants

[zero]

she means the signed copy she'll get once she's got
her knickers off!
:D



oi - it's rmr you're talking to - she'll do no such thing for a few "bangin tunes" from a discoboy

believe

[rmr]

^^^ zero says "drink red wine instead of buying a f**king cow -- who likes milk anyways?"

oh and thank you for defending my honor -- you understand that my knickers are PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!

[zero]

-- you understand that my knickers are PRIVATE BUSINESS!!!

it's more than an understadning:

for teh "what are your beliefs" thread:

1. - rmr's knickers are PRIVATE BUSINESS

[rmr]

yes and ^^

and my book --

[xfox]

thats what i like about rmr, she never gets into a twist

[craig johnston]

so, i've made the cover and handed it over to a designer
for final tweaking and the music is being mastered and it
will all be ready on monday.
now i can breathe a big sigh of relief cos it's all out of my
hands.
this is an amazing feeling!
release date is set for 15.5.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
:)

[dinzdale]

evokes the old "vertigo" label - many happy moments we had watching that one go round and round

all the best of luck with your first album cjdj

[craig johnston]

yeah, shame you can't watch cds go round like with records.
killed many a long evening with that one.
;)

[xfox]

Go for the Grammy! It could happen. Do you have a club following?

[craig johnston]

some people have been following me with clubs.
is that what you mean?

[Marcus Bales]

That's because you're behind on your payments. Cough it up, Craig, buddy, and they won't call me in!

[xfox]

some people have been following me with clubs.
is that what you mean?

okay i'll spell it out. Do you take your club with you, render your woman of choice unconscious and then drag her by the hair back to your cave after a gig?

[craig johnston]

don't need a club. i just use my charm.
;)

[RuneT]

Congratulations man. No wonder you are stoked about finishing this project off. I dig.

[craig johnston]

[craig johnston]

ok, the latest: we had a few problems over the summer with the record company being flooded and the main person responsible taking off to india for a month, but now we're back on track and the cd is available for all lovers of good music here (http://www.tleaf.net/news.htm).

[Con ate dog]

Congratulation, Craig. i've gotta send a poopload of money to Paypal anyway, so if they'll mail it to china, I'm in for a copy.

[craig johnston]

;)

[Con ate dog]

I'll even play the laid-back tracks in my kindergarten class. Y'all should expect international college cult status in about 14 years. :cool:
