While you're patiently waiting for 'The Futurist,' note that my previous album, 'Tales Out of Night School,' is under $9 on all the major online music stores. It's really not a "Cyber Monday deal," as these are just the everyday prices, but still -- makes a nice virtual stocking stuffer.
If you're a fan of the CNET Digital City podcast, here is the long-awaited MP3 of the show's theme song, composed and performed by yours truly. It's meant to evoke a kind of modern take on a '70s PBS science show, to reflect our focus on high-tech topics along with the hosts' formative years in the '70s.
And, of course, you're always welcome to pick up a copy of my most recent album, 2008's "Tales Out of Night School." Get it from iTunes here, or from Amazon here.
Extra bonus below -- a few rough mixes from my next record, band other jazz/rock/funk collection with a distinct bossa nova influence.
But that'll be a while, so in the meantime, check back shortly for four free rough mix tracks from the new album.
