The CD is Done!

Finally after 4 months of numerous emails, phonecalls, promises, thoughts, and doubts the Feast of Noise compilation CD is done! It ended up with 15 bands, and an hour of music! It includes a few that I love and have been following for awhile, others who I had to chase after a bit, and even one or two that I discovered in the last day or two! There were sadly one or two that did not get back to me in time, which does suck! The only thing I can say there is sorry, and hopefully next time we will get you in!

I am assuming there will be a next time. I am kind of realizing that like anything else it is almost silly not to be a next time. I say that considering all the talent I have tracked down in the last few months, bands that are on it, bands that I would like to be on it and who knows what will pop up tomorrow as far as new talent!

It goes further though, I am just learning or thinking about covers. I already hate the cover ‘art’ for this first compilation. so I would like to get a second or third crack at that! And I have just started learning the ins and outs of consignment. I put a consignemnt contract together today. I am realizing I really need some business cards too! One has to look semi-professional or business like. And then with cards and contracts in one hand, CDs in the other, I am beating a path to those places who will listen and consider such CDs and consignment deals.

Add up all the work, it is a shame to stop after one try. That first try is usually topped the second or third time around. So I am already saying this can be replicated. Lets hope that we sell some too along the way!
