Just another former infatuation junkie

As the streetlights slowly filter in through my window on the closing of my twenty-third birthday, it’s time to talk music. Or a reasonable facsimile.

By the way – if all you’re interested in is the fact that it is (or was, rather) my birthday today, then feel free to skip the following – a plug for my new albums available on Cafepress. Actually, don’t feel free to skip it. Feel compelled to read the whole thing.

I am pleased to announce the opening of The New Kallixti Music Store.

Post-Millennial Heebie-Jeebies was recorded well before the Millennium (or even the Willennium, for that matter), and was my first full-length album. The year before that, I had released my first EP – The Money Keeps Rolling In.

Post-Millennial Heebie-Jeebies has been available for the past couple of years exclusively through Ampcast – an online music distributor. The Money Keeps Rolling In was released briefly through mp3.com, but has been out of print for three years.

Ampcast – like many OMD’s – used mp3’s to master its CD’s. While the resulting sound quality is acceptable, it’s not really the best that it could be. For this release, the music has been taken from the original master CD’s and turned over in high quality.

Not only that, but Post-Millennial Heebie-Jeebies now comes in two editions. The Basic Edition is the original acoustic album presented in a stripped-down package. Priced at a steal at only $5.99, the CD comes in a paper sleeve with a clear front window and is re-mastered from the original recordings. Meanwhile, the Special Edition gives you the original album with full packaging and artwork and includes a total of eight bonus tracks – three alternate mixes and the complete first EP, The Money Keeps Rolling In.

Of course, that isn’t the only music I’ve recorded over the years.

Meet my dancefloor alter-ego – Deep Blue Funk. DBF made his debut on mp3.com, but remained there only briefly before he, too, moved to Ampcast. His initial CD, Funktron 5000, was four tracks long and included the track “Got It Sussed” – which reached the mp3.com’s Top 10 for Electronic music and drew rave reviews from DJ’s the world over. With the move to Ampcast, the content of Funktron was folded into a completely new, full-length album, Deep Blue Funk’s Rockabionica.

This edition of Rockabionica features cleaner character artwork than the Ampcast original, as well as more artwork (on Ampcast, the artwork for the inside of the booklet was lost, and therefore never printed).

Not only that, but there are Deep Blue Funk shirts, as well. Will my whoredoms never cease?

Please, check out the Kallixti Music Store, powered by CafePress. I’m certain that we can find some kind of music to suit your tastes.

Thus endeth the lesson.
