We have been steadily selling a greater number of MP3 as of late, so thanks to everyone who found us, enjoyed the muzik, and decided to purchase.

Some new sales tabs are in, so I just wanted to take a minute and thank the new fans of the band.

Everyone close to me is pumped for the new release, and rest assured that it is indeed coming! The release date is on (or around) 10-31-07.

Everything on our end is done, now it is up to the retailers at this point to do what it is that they do.
When the CD is available, I will be sending reminders out to the email list. There is also going to be a direct mailing to everyone that we have mailing addy's for.

Until then, be good.

I love getting letters from people that support what it is that I am doing. This one came in the other day and I thought it was great, so i decided to post it.

Here it is:

"I played "Sunlight Through Eyelids" from your album THE DEPRESSED
AMERICAN DREAM on WOMR FM in Provincetown, Ma. It was on the show THE
LATEST SCORE on Tuesday October 23, 2007. Be sure I will play from
this music again. I have just cleaned out my CD collection and I can
see what I have. Yours stayed on the shelf."

Canary:

Thank you.

The pressing is BEHIND schedule, however, the albums will be debuting next week on CDbaby, and onward to i-tunes.

Also, some show dates will be announced in mid to late November. Sit tight!

Last thing:

CDbaby has FINALLY restocked our first and second albums. Included with every CD is a fizzkicks.com MP3 download card which entitles you to free downloads by (t) nds.

If interested purchasing, click the link embedded with the album covers at the top of this page.

peace out,

I decided to post a track to redfizz.com. In so doing, there is this feel that I am "asking permission" for making music -- of which I do not and never have. When artists post to sites like redfizz.com or garageband.com, they are seen as asking for opinions on finished album cuts, which makes me laugh because sites like these are so very lame in nature. They do not reflect actual people that I would want into (t) nds.

Anyway, I decided to post a recent review:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rated 4 and one-half stars out of 5 stars:

What only two comments on this? I can't believe this was "rejected." There is a part of this reminiscent of that cool new-wave in the early 80's-but mixed with other more recent influences...An interesting listen for me...I enjoyed that classy touch of piano at the end...Nine Inch Nails inspired, maybe, but I liked this. Very rich layers and textures. So many small touches that worked so well together. Awesome flow to it. It's like something that if I'd heard it coming over my radio from the local college, I'd be glued to...Weird, wild and well-recorded. Cool lyrics and vocals, insistant and engaging music...This here's the real deal...I wanna hear it!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are currently working to promote our second release entitled, "Depressed American Dream." We are working with Music Submit to really stir things up, so updated news will be added as it comes in.

The new download cards are in! If you purchased any of our albums you will be seeing one in your mailbox very soon. We are also sending them along to everyone on our mailing list as well.

The new album is coming ... promise. We have had a few issues with manufacturing, but it IS coming out in October 2007! Sit tight for now.

I had a great time last night on "The Edge" talking to Tech God. We played some cuts from the new record and just basically talked and had fun. I am looking forward to getting back on-air in the future. Thanks again to the listeners for the questions and to The Tech God for having me on.

Other news:

We are starting an affiliate program to help spread the word on the band. The planned launch of the program is Monday (9/17). Stay tuned for more details.

(t) nds will be featured on the "Jack Kitty Radio Show" and on "Fevered Brain Radio Network" next week. They are excited to work with the band and we are excited to work with them. So we look forward to getting those spins and chatting a bit with them possibly on-air.

Our second album "Depressed American Dream" should be back in-stock on Tuesday (9/18) on Cdbaby.com. Sorry for the delay, but we are indie and thigns take time when you are indie.
:(

Check out the "The Jack Radio Show" because they will be featuring "Bottom Feeder" in the very near future. Copelinn is actually cutting an intro drop for the show, so we'll post an update as news becomes available.

We have even more sales in tonight. We just got some big increases in iTunes sales, and couldn't be happier. Thanks for downloading those tracks.

The new album "Species Protector" is coming soon, so check back for more details.

Our friends at Nommo Records just released three of our songs as streams on their website. We are saving the big unveiling for The Tech God and his show "The Edge" on Nowlive.com on the 12th, but we felt it only proper to give Nommo a chance to play some of our tracks. After all, we love and respect them deeply so it only felt right.

Cdbaby has informed us that our second record "Depressed American Dream" is sold out again. We got a slew of new sales today and the record is now out of stock. However, don't you worry because we have more and plan to have them available in a couple of days. Our first record is going into the fourth pressing in the very near future. All of our albums and singles will be available forever and can still be purchased as downloads on iTunes and the like.

Thanks to all that have purchased our muzik.

I almost forgot to report new CD sales and paid MP3 downloads. Some new sales tabs came in and I wanted to thank those who checked us out and grabbed an album or two. Every bit helps, so thanks very much making it happen. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed producing it.

News from the front:

Check out our 'Purchase Muzik' link to the left to check it out. We will also be featured on their "Entertainment News" with a story about Amnesty International donation program.

Copelinn will be appearing on "The Tech God Show" on September, 12th. He'll be talking about the new album and playing cuts from the upcoming release "Species Protector", so you don't want to miss it. Time and url TBA.

You can now find muzik by (t) nds on Last.fm. Check out Last.fm for more details.

With "Species Protector" on the way, we found it only fitting to release single. The first single is called "Bottom Feeder", and it is available exclusively from Fizzkicks.com.

When you purchase the single, the entire purchase price is being donated to Amnesty International, so this is a 100% donation to a great cause. You get a great song, and Amnesty gets some much financial assistance.

Thanks.

I just started my own publishing company which will serve as a label as well. The company is a legal and registered entity and will be home to everything that is related to Copelinn -- my music and author work. So, you can expect naturally to hear more about this as things progress in a business sense.

Species Protector is coming soon.

Okay, so we have set other dates before and those have been wrong. Sorry. However, this time I am right on target. The new release date for "Species Protector" is: 09-11-07. Promise.

The new album is on its way, so hang tight! For now, grab a tee-shirt. A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to Amnesty International to aid in the fight for global human rights.

First off, I love (t) nds fans. You guys are the best and I would never even think overwise. It is with you (the fans) I opt to share my disdain for shitty people and shitty clubs. I am a DJ, so I work in clubs all the time. Being an indie artist, I deal with people all the time. Being educated, I know how to talk to people and have a fruitful and decent conversation when desired or required. That said, why is it that useless doing-nothing people need to ruin my day almost constantly?

I get that many managers in nightclubs are students of the "Joseph Stalin School of Management", but why is it that seemingly every fucking nightclub only employs total dickbags? Why is it that Big Brother (the club owners) employ a fucking telescreen and hire The Thought Police to handle matters that do not exist? Granted, I have been reading Orwell's "1984" and I am a bit irritated with the current state of the job market after reading Edrenreich's "Nickel and Dimed", but why is it that people gotta make things harder than they are? Why is it that even if you DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD TO DO there is still a fucking issue? Why is it that people invent shit that never happens just to feel relevant?

At the end of the day everything is fine, and I, well ... I am doing okay for myself financially --- my life is pretty sweet. My degree is about done and I have sold an assload of MP3's and CD's, so, I guess what I am to say is simple really: THANK YOU FOR KEEPING ME SANE.
