Loud Family MP3!

I just uploaded the new web site, which is a big relief, since the old one was terribly out of date. Since I update other people's web sites for a living, my own sites sometimes get neglected.

The most popular thing on the new site will undoubtedly be the MP3 of the Loud Family's "Rocks Off" on the Sounds page, since it's the first new music in 5 whole years to be released under the Loud Family band name. Granted, it is a cover (of the Rolling Stones' song) and not an original, but I think it has that unmistakable Scott Miller sound, and I hope it will get people excited about the forthcoming CD, What If It Works? Anton Barbeau does a fab job on this one too -- he and Scott are the new Glimmer Twins!

Here's a tidbit about the album. The master was initially delivered to us way back in September, and I felt it was too short (10 songs/33 minutes), so I "forced" Anton & Scott to come up with two more songs. That took a while, since they've both been traveling lately (Anton now "divides his time" between Sacramento and the UK, and Scott recently did some production work overseas). The "new" WIIW? is due to be mastered later this month, and I hope to have a firm release date shortly. I sort of felt like one of those evil record company overlords Aimee Mann always writes nasty songs about, but at least I never said the words, "I don't hear a single!" Or if I did, 'twas only in jest. "Rocks Off" would make a pretty good single, wouldn't it?
