Jim Santanella: August 2008 Archives

I have been itching to play and looking forward to getting out there again. There is a new gig on the calendar for October 18th at the beloved Trabant. I will be sharing the floor again with Scott Andrew.

So the wheels are in motion for my long awaited album, Cold Rain. I was going to change the name to Chinese Democracy but chose not to deal with a potential lawsuit. : ) The release date is set for October 7, 2008 and I am trying something different this time around. The album will be released digitally across iTunes, Rhapsody, AmazonMP3, eMusic & Napster. No big CD run. No endless sea of boxes in the closet. However, I will be doing a limited edition run of 100 and making each of them pretty special and unique. I am using Stumptown Printer’s Arigato Pak! and hope to do something cool. I am essentially making these for shows so I can get them in your hands right on the spot. I uploaded to these digital stores using Tunecore last week and I already see the album queued up and ready to go on Rhapsody & Amazon for 10.07.08. That's hella fast.

More details about the songs, sessions & players to come....
