The Song Fight Bulletin Board

No - I am not promoting a new reality TV show (though I should be - I sent the networks my ideas - and no reply...do you believe it?!?!?)

Anyway - I have a plan of releasing 10 High Quality Professional Singles this year.

In 2009 - I did an Album. Sleeper
http://caravanray.bandcamp.com/album/sleeper

I am still enormously proud of it. It is the thing I can pullout to say to people - "Yep - this is what I do - have a listen"

I thought of doing another album, but 2 things put me off:
1) it was really hard work, and
2) it is 2012 - who listens to CDs anymore

So - I thought - I would go totally modern - and release 10 iTunes singles through CD baby instead of doing an album. Each with a promo video. Or a porno video. Or something,.

No crap. 10 songs I would be proud for my grandchildren to hear.

ANyway - it is now late August and I am way behind schedule. So this thread is to give me some sort of incentive to keep working.

I will post here a link to my new single and the youtube video as the come up. I have done one already - a possibly overly ambitious one back in January - it is OK, I am not embarrassed by it, but I hope the next 9 will be better.

I have 2 (2 old songfight entries, heavily re-done) almost ready to release. So - this thead it a stick poked up my own arse to finish 10 before next year.

CARAVAN RAY'S SINGLE #1:

BETTER THAN BEFORE

I don't think there were enough phallic symbols in that video.

Nice job though. Good luck. If you need a source for free video you can use, check out the Prelinger Archives.

No 3 (we have the technology) is 97 percent complete - just doing final mix
I may finish it off after fawn

And a video for Waiting tales time is likewise almost done. Just need one more shout of the " welcome to toowoomba " sign for the "place called purgatory" line

Thes things cannot be rushed

You certainly have a smooth voice. Very good.

Previous video made heavy use of the Prelinger Archives.

Awesome website.

Good work, C-Ray.

CARAVAN RAY'S SINGLE #3:

CAN I TAKE THAT BACK?

I have very much fallen behind with this project. Song now up on CD Baby - will be at iTunes, Spotify etc soon....

This is awesome. I should buy it when I'm at home.

Thank you Bill.

This song now has a video. I got a bloke from Poland that I found on Fiverr to do it for me. $30 well spent I think - I hate doing video.


CAN I TAKE THAT BACK?

Number 5??

CARAVAN RAY'S SINGLE #4:

A FAMILY AFFAIR


https://caravanray.bandcamp.com/track/a-family-affair


Originally started life as a Nur Ein entry for "Watertight", combined with that weeks Songfight! title "Who Called the Ape"
Slight re-write and re-recording.

Should be on spotify etc later this week.

Big thanks to fabulously talented local artist Catie Davis for the wonderful original cover art.

LOL!!! It only took 5 years to finish off that last 3%!!!

That last post was written back when I was married. It has been quite an adventure since then. Other priorities
