If you happen to be reading this, and you’ve checked out some Pirate Prude songs and you like what you’ve heard, please add yourself to the mailing list on Nimbit. The actual link is http://www.nimbitmusic.com/pirateprude. You can add yourself to the list simply by clicking the arrow key icon at the top of the page. I would like to get the list rolling so all interested ears will be in the know once the record is released and ready for download and/or mail order.
The graphic art for the album is almost entirely complete. Rather than go with a traditional jewel case layout, the art will printed up on cardboard 4 panel digipacks (much like you see with Guided by Voices and early Cat Power releases). Nimbit offers really amazingly cheap short run digipack deals. I haven’t seen any other cd duplication company come close to matching it.
All the Pirate Prude mp3s are available for download at http://www.ilike.com/artist/Pirate+Prude Help yourself and if you come across tracks that you know some of your friends will really dig, please pass them on. While most of the mp3s are live or demo versions, they give a decent, accurate indication of what is to come on the record.
Lastly, if you are the moderator/editor of a pretty hep online music blog, get in touch! I am making a concerted effort to e-mail an assload of online bloggers to spread the word about the album. If you contact me directly, there’s a good chance I will generously send you a complete copy (including artwork) for review.
