2011: New Site
Tada! So much for understatement. In any event, Happy New Year! and welcome to the new site. I hope you’ll find it easier to use and more informative. The Hills Are Alive First I want to mention the new design. My main goal in this re-design was that the site should better reflect what the music is ‘about’.
Video: Start
The official video for the single from Nice Cuts. As per usual, I haven’t done nearly enough to market Nice Cuts, but I’m particularly sad about my lack of initiative on Start (how ironic) as I think it’s one of the pieces of which I am most happy. I hope you’ll give it a listen and ‘share’ it, or ‘like’ it or whatever the phrase à la mode seems to be. I noticed that a lot of people are using Youtube videos simply as a vehicle for listening to music. So this piece is not much more than that; a [...]
Positive (2010) Shipping
A quick note to tell you I just received my own copies of Positive (2010). Better still, I am told that the product is now officially at the warehouse and orders are shipping out. So, if you’ve already ordered, your CD will be at your door in the next couple of days. But, if you haven’t ordered yet, because you’re the kind of guy who thinks anything that isn’t in the warehouse is ‘vaporware’? Now’s definitely the time, Mr. Skeptical! Check out Positive (2010) here.
Positive: ‘Classic’ Or New Coke?
So if you’ve been keeping score, we’re taking orders on Positive (2010) and the discs should be in the warehouse, or in your hands, within the next few days. In the meantime, I want to mention three logistical details. 1. There are still about 100 copies of the original Positive. If you are a completist, or are one of those who takes pleasure in getting ‘a steal’, even if it means the odd button is missing or the paint is just a bit faded, well then, have we got a deal for you!
Hotter Ringtones
Some of you have complained that the ringtones are nice, but not loud enough. Well…I fixed that little problem. These things now generate enough oomph to make your Android or iPhone scream with… er… well… something. Additionally, the new versions should be compatible with more brands of phones. (Some didn’t seem to want to play well with the high res audio we try to provide.) Again; should be better now. So if you haven’t already done so, please show your support and try out one of our snazzy ringtones. Next time your phone rings, bystanders will hear those sounds and [...]
Apologia: Running Order/Positive 2010
I’m wondering today when the Latin/Greek apologia As I survey the rack and ruin of yesterday’s election, I am struck by many speeches trying to toe the line between both forms of ‘apology’. How to say ‘I accept responsibility’ while at the same time defending the path one has chosen. Today’s ‘apology’, in the classic sense, has to do with the running order of Positive 2010. It differs from the original. Which is a sell-out; a total artistic cave, and here’s why I done it, Ma. It was for the good of the country. Or rather for the good of [...]
OK, It’s August. So Where The Heck Is Positive Re-Mastered?
Dear JC, On 24 May you wrote that the re-mastered version of Positive would be available by 1 August of this year.Well, it’s now the fifteenth and I’ve heard nothing about this for quite some time.Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall that your last record was also delayed. And the one before that. And so was the one before that. You know I support you, mate. But let me ask you: Why bother telling people about new albums if you never come anywhere near the target? Why not try putting out a new album after it’s [...]
Positive Remastered — Finally!
After nine years? The first record from JCHMusic will finally be available as a professionally remastered version. As long-term listeners know, in late 2007 I embarked on a plan to re-master the first four records prior to the release of Home. For some reason, I released them in reverse order, starting with Balance — then Compartments and Superpower. Then all heck started to break loose in my life and I had to leave off. Until now, this has always been a great personal sadness for me. After more than twenty years playing other people’s stuff, Positive was a chance to [...]
