hey jerks tell us what you think

Loyal listeners, we need your input. All of our albums are currently available for download completely for free, as 192 kbps MP3’s. Many people consider this less than appetizing, in terms of audio quality. Now, we aren’t quite ready to give away high-quality, lossless copies of our songs for free like we do with the MP3’s. We are, however, considering other options. One of these is selling high quality lossless copies of our albums through this website. Here’s how it would work. 

- 5 bucks per normal full-length, with pricing being scalable for EP’s or a double albums.

- Our current releases will continue to be free in their current form, as lower-quality MP3’s.

- Future emissions will see a dual release. Free MP3’s and appropriately-priced lossless files.

- File types would hopefully include FLAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.

So, here’s where you come in. If we were to offer this service, would you partake? Is the price acceptable, or would you want to pay less? Hell, maybe you would you want to pay more. Do you have other suggestions? It would be great if you could give us your opinions on this system. Leave a comment on this blog post, or e-mail us at starshipamazing@gmail.com.

Now, album news! It’s almost done. Everything is written and recorded, and right now we’re working on some minor nitpick changes, along with getting things like the cover and liner notes finished. It will be on your computer as soon as possible.

…And I’m out. Dinner time.

Website, Rebuilt.

Man, our old website was pretty dumb. You couldn’t put the www in front of it with out it breaking, and was ugly. Basically, a big stupid jerk with a face as dumb as a butt. So, we figured that Wordpress worked pretty well, so we just put the whole website on it. We might even make a custom theme someday, but don’t hold your breath.

In other, non boring news: The new album is being made. “But Calvin,” you say. “You just released ‘Ultra-Modern Rhythms’! And you’re making a new album already? IS YOU TWEAKIN’?” No we is not. Don’t expect it anytime soon, as we’re taking our sweet time. I will, however, tell you this: The new album will probably be called “The Power of Science Is Staggering”. Write it down. Take it to the library. You just might learn something.

To keep you amused while we create our next masterpiece, we’ll try to give you more snippets here and there. WATCH OUT! Here comes one now. It’s called “Awesome Dragons Forever”. I think that name’s kinda dumb, and I’m gonna see if I can get Derek to change it.
