The hold-up right now is hardware: I want to include some more original remixes / re-edits on the CDs, but my 5 year-old Powerbook G3 is just way too slow to deal with any more. As soon as a G5 comes out, I'll master the tracks and mix it all up asap.

If you can't wait that long, come and catch a live show some place! Talks are underway for a possible gig in Malta (for those in Europe), and a confirmed show alongside someone you definitely know (but I'm not allowed to name yet) in Montreal, both in late August.

Update:A show at a festival in Mexico later in the year is in planning stages now too.

Then it comes back with a bunch of recommendations of other artists and tracks you'd be into, based on what other people with similar preferences like.

To make it work even better, download iEatBrains (Mac) or MusicBrainz (PC), which are free "taggers" - programs that go through your library and give all your MP3s their correct titles, artists and albums names based on pattern matching to an online database.
