Maybe just do a digital release? I think CD's are a waste these days. They sound great but not a lot of people are buying them.

Either way, I look forward to hearing the finished work. Have fun!

The nice thing about CDs is that while yes no one is buying, they can work like business cards.

Hey, just as an aside, some places will print you digital download cards. they can literally be a business card. that's what my old bad did (in conjunction with an amazing sounding but unpopular vinyl release).

Hmm, that's not too shabby of an idea.

Although, I'd only want to hand out so many free copies of the album. But I suppose those business cards with the download codes could be limited. I like your ideas coffee, I like your ideas a lot.

What was the vinyl release unpopular? Hit me with a link if it's still up

The Vinyl was unpopular mostly because it was expensive - because pressing vinyl was expensive. It was mostly done, IMO, as a legacy project for the singer as well as her dad who was the big money behind the record.

this is the album here:

I hear that. Instrumentation sounds dope though. What'd you play on the album?

I played bass! I sang backups a little too. it was a fun project, and they were all a lot of fun to play with. shame that a.) i had to go away for school and b.) the drummer and singer couldn't get their egos out of the way.

That's an expensive business card. Get a thumb drive with your name/link on it... or an actual business card with a free download on it. Even many cars don't have CD players anymore. I sold most of my first albums CD's. I still have boxes of the second one because it was right at the cusp of people going digital.... at least that's what I tell myself :)

Yeah I saw that I a lot of popular bands are selling thumb drives of their discographies and what not.

I really like CDs though, haha. I still buy them and it's always nice when small local bands are selling them.
