Bravo to Jonatha and receiving decent royalty cheques! (I remember hearing Patty Larkin talk about how when Cher recorded one of her songs she suddenly started receiving royalty cheques with far more digits in them than usual. :) "Literature stops in 1100.

Anybody have this or know how to get it?

Launching Noe's Kickstarter Campaign!!! If you have received the following message more than once, so sorry! I have some mailing list redundancies that are proving difficult to correct. Thank you for bearing with me while I work out how to fix it, and sorry for the inconvenience! Dear Friends and Listeners, I write you today with a full heart. After years of work, my new album, Cascadia, is nearly ready for release! The genesis for this album was a strange and extraordinary encounter I had in Oakland, California, long ago, with a magnificent wild creature. Meeting him late one night, my heart was filled with fire and sorrow for the plight of our natural world. The thirteen songs on this album are anchored in this experience, and I feel a great urgency and joy to share them. Today, the record is almost complete, with just a few steps left to go. To that end, today I launch my first ever KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN!!! My goal is to raise the additional funds necessary to send the album into the world. There is so much I want to tell you about the project, but instead, dear friend, let me show you! On my Kickstarter page, you'll find a video message from me, behind-the-scenes footage, song previews, and great ways to get involved. If the project moves you, we hope you'll help us take it across the finish line! And help us spread the word! Facebook it! Tweet it! Every mention helps build the momentum! Rewards for potential backers start at contributions of just $5 and go all the way up. Advance copies of the album, songbooks, mementos, private concerts, custom written songs, and much, much more. Many of these items will be available for only a limited time, so please, don't delay! Head on over to Kickstarter, and we'll meet you there!

You may have heard about the recent security breach at Kickstarter, in which hackers accessed certain user data. If so, I hope this NY Times article may ease your mind, as it did mine. Beyond this, I was relieved to learn that no credit card information was compromised, nor could it be, since Kickstarter doesn't actually store any credit card information.

This self-titled and self-produced collection of songs is her first offering of completely original material in 13 years. It follows her double album anthology of 19th and 20th century poetry adapted to music Leave Your Sleep (2010) and The House Carpenter's Daughter (2003), an independently released selection of folk music. For this recording project, Natalie has returned to her core band of musicians augmented by strings, brass and woodwinds to create sparse to lush arrangements. The album represents over a decade of songwriting that she describes as, "taking the measure of lives lived by surveying the damage: love gained and lost, regret, denial, surrender, greed, destructiveness, defeat, and occasional triumph.b Natalie Merchant is available for pre-order at nonesuch.com with an exclusive autographed print. Spring and summer tour dates will be announced soon'. Adam K ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
