I'm sorry if I come off as a skeptic, but the other bands in this arena that have tried the download route haven't made squat. If it could be done as an extra deal - in addition to a regular CD reissue, it would be fine. But most labels these days want to negotiate download rights separately from reissue rights. |
I guess I was thinking joey was talking about future projects. Assuming those would be controlled by the band.

If you go down the page, on the left, you can click on live demo. For some reason, the link sends you to the main page... likely so you have to check out the product first. Not that I blame them!

Two slightly related tales...
This past week I was the kids speaker at a camp here in Ontario. You know camps... you have to have a nickname. The camp was doing a science based theme. I was reading Dostoevsky's short stories at the time and thought I'd use, Dusty or Evsky or something... the kids are 7-10. SA said, what about Buechner, since it sounds like "beaker", and the science thing... so I was "Beakner" It was cool to hear kids say, "Mr Beakner" sometimes...
And, while there, I took a trip to a used book store and found "The Book of Bebb" all four volumes in one hard cover for the stunning price of $2! When I got to the checkout, the person there says, oh and its 30% off too! I paid 1.47 including tax!
I love him too, though I have to take some stuff he says with a grain of salt... or a bag.

I certainly doubt that would keep you out... we have so many people being deported with records back home, etc... I mean, we let musicians in and athletes with lots of issues, The NFL kicks out Ricky Williams for a year for marijuana use and we said, "Come on up!"
I doubt that you'd be held out... but I'm not a customs/immigration expert!

Just to cross the border for a visit shouldn't be a problem... we let lots of people in with pretty dicey pasts! Likely, and I don't know your story... likely, way worse than you... Bill Clinton for instance!

Who told you that? Someone who knows?
