As for the record itself, well, I’ll confirm what I’ve said before. We are not making this record available on CD. You can either buy one of 250 vinyl copies or download the record in the digital format of your choice for whatever price you want to pay (including FREE, if you like). The records will be available at Cactus / Sound Exchange / Vinal Edge. Anyone who pays $10 or more for a digital copy can get a vinyl record for free (while we have them). Anyone who buys the vinyl record will receive inside a card/code they can redeem for the digital files. All the digital distribution is done through our Bandcamp site.

We’ll make the record available online starting September 15. And you can buy a physical copy the following Saturday. We’ve shared the record already with a few friends and local music writers, and early feedback seems pretty positive. We’re excited to share it with you. Thanks for listening.

There’s really no reason to put out a CD anymore. Instead, you’ll be able to download lossless tracks from us and build your own if you like. In a few weeks, when we can nail down a release date for the LPs, we’ll begin allowing name-your-price digital downloads of our MP3s via our Bandcamp site. All orders $10 and over will get an LP in the mail. And if you buy a record directly from us, we’ll give you a code for the downloads. Sound good?

We’ll let you be the judge of that. We’ll also be streaming the entire record, so you can try before you buy. Until then, we’re able to share with you the first tracks from Side A and Side B of Fired. We can also share with you the fine cover art Rene Cruz did for us.

Download here, or at Myspace. And let us know what you think.
