I want to thank everyone that has streamed and purchased my first release as a solo artist, "The Antique Ghost." The response is overwhelming. The feedback is so very helpful. So thank you. Worldwide digital distribution is in motion. The following weeks will bring sites such as iTunes and Amazon on board to sell "The Antique Ghost." Local events will be the first places I will be releasing and selling the physical copies. It is not clear if the physical release will be sold globally as of yet. More info on that soon. I receive data about who buys the downloads and if you are wanting a physical copy and have already purchased the download, make sure you contact me about how you might obtain one. Stay tuned for new updates at http://josephbeaty.com

Open mics, Book Stores and Coffee Joints. I will also be selling this EP in all the normal places soon. Amazon, iTunes, etc. I plan on getting a song or two out to Sirius and Pandora radio asap. All is well. Stay tuned for news.

So the Solo EP is complete! My friend, collaborator and producer: Joey Butera has done an excellent job helping me see it through. He played drums on 5 of 6 tunes. So it is not a true solo effort. It never really is though. I did play all the strung instruments along with some keys and percussion. Sang everything. Also had a guest vocalist that sang on the first tune. Katharine Blake. (Mediaeval Baebes, Miranda Sex Garden.) I am going to spend a month or so figuring out a way to change or update my site. I also am working on a plan on releasing this. So stay tuned. Now I can focus on finishing the new Mindlikewater record. Get with Ryan and finish the 3 songs we did with our little side thing, The Air Apparent. Then I will do something new after all that is done. Not sure what yet. Stay tuned for everything.

So the first round of mastering for my solo material didn't go as planned. It was close but not quite the tone we were going for. So Joe Butera III revisited the EP and did quite a lot of legwork to make it better. I will be hearing that in the next day or so and hopefully will have a complete work. I am so excited to release this thing. I am thinking my site is going to be revamped. More than likely it will be a basic blog format. Blogger or Tumblr page. Nothing fancy. Something I can embed stuff into each post as it is relevant. Makes life easy. So a new site and a new EP on the way. All of this while I am working on a new Mindlikewater record. My initial goal was to have a new Mindlikewater record and a solo release before the end of 2010. That will be 3 official releases in 2010 for me. 2011 will be the year I focus more on playing. I need to step it up. So expect a lot more appearances from both of these projects. I will be letting people know about the solo EP release as soon as I have the master. Cheers!

Birthday with the Band and Music stuff...
Had a great Birthday. Practiced with Mindlikewater then everyone went out for drinks and food. Good times. Was nice to actually hang out with music not being the agenda. Strangely no pictures were taken. Before we practiced and had birthday festivities, Ryan laid down his remaining keyboard parts on a few tunes which brings us to 2 songs completely done...and 2 waiting on 1 or 2 parts...My goal was to have 5 songs done by August...looks like we are on track...as soon as 5 are done we plan on making a few more demos for the next 4 or 5 tunes and starting to track them...all of which I hope to have recorded in Sept...October to start promotions while we mix...late Ocotber to November release...this is wishful thinking...but if we keep the pace we are at...it will be done...inspired music goes to tape very quick...loving that....once this record is done we plan on playing out more and promoting it...selling it to die-hards...giving it away to who wants it online...we plan on doing everything to get this music out there...we don't plan on sharing any new material just yet...but stay tuned...my solo thing is done as well...I plan on releasing that...maybe playing a tune from it in the MLW show and selling my solo disc at MLW shows too...we shall see...sure the guys won't mind...time to get off this machine and breathe a bit...
