MP3: Love Bomb (2.3 mb)

THE NEW EP IS HERE:



You can listen to all the songs on your computer anytime you want and, in addition to it being available on CD, you can also buy it in MP3 format. Totally cool, but even cooler is that there's a FREE downloadable EP of 5 more groovy tunes when you buy it. Do it now...you know you want to.

With all this love raining down, it seemed appropriate to post another song here this month. So what you have here is an older song about dropping a bomb of love that might hopefully open the eyes and hearts of...well, just everyone in general. Much better than those nasty ones that destroy lives, right? PEACE AT ANY COST...find me a political party with that platform and I'll sign on.

[UPDATE 10/25: Kate has informed me that "Peace at any Cost" sounds a little harsh, as if to say "We'll bomb 'em into submission." Truly, that's not the intent of the phrase, nor the direction of my beliefs. I just liked using the word "cost" while offering a free song, and then segueing into the bit below about COSTCO. Understood? Thank you.]

Camera update: COSTCO really came through. As mentioned in the last entry, I returned my 2-year old defective camera to them (with receipt and I found the box) and they gave me store credit not only for the full price of it, but - since sales tax had increased here in NJ in the interim - even a few cents more! Sweet. I used the credit to purchase a brand new, much better camera than my old one.

MP3: Pumpkin Postcard (1.5 mb)

My camera's broken. Sometimes I wish my cell phone had a camera on it, but it doesn't so I'm without an image capture utility at the moment. Let's see if the rumors are true: I bought the camera at Costco two years ago and I still have the receipt (but not the box). I've heard they're pretty liberal with their return policy so I'm going to be testing that very soon. I'll let you know how it goes....

Since it's October, a pumpkin song seems in order! I received a postcard a while back that had a picture of all these little kids dressed in crazy animal Halloween costumes, and they were splayed about someone's yard amongst a smattering of pumpkins. It looked like they (the kids and the pumpkins) had all been thrown there haphazardly by some giant hand, and it kind of freaked me out. Sometimes when I get freaked out I write a song. Sometimes when the song seems sparse I cut little loops into it. And sometimes when it seems even slightly interesting, I'll post the song here. Ah, the 21st century!

The new EP is at the duplication palace and should be available within the month!

Oh yes and finally this: I've got a spot on MySpace.com now, so come on over and be a friend, eh? The URL is myspace.com/marbletea. I've got the little Blogthing going there too, and I'm trying to synchronize them in such a way that there's complimentary information that reading both will reveal in some obtuse way. Yeah, I didn't explain that very well. Let's just say REM, Christopher Isherwood, and Julie Harris are all in on it, m'kay?
