Brother Bill new single just being launched into the general-whatever-o-sphere. Hentertaining :)
Welcome to the Breakdown
More info and MP3 available from http://music.bcoleman.com - Brian Cowen does his utmost to save the Irish economy when someone kidnaps the Celtic Tiger.
Bill says:
The new single 'Welcome to the Breakdown' is hereby released ! What fun...
It's all about getting laid off and spending the ill-gotten-gains recording and making music. You can buy it by clicking on the download link on the music widget you can see to the right of the screen or, if you're in ROI you can buy by texting 'music 4175' to '57501'. Texts will cost €1.
Everyone who buys the single will get two bonus tracks. Simply mail your receipt/pin number (depending on whether you bought by widget/sms) to adminbcolemancom and we'll send you back a download code.
As it's a somewhat recessiony kind of a tale I put together a flash video to go with the song. It features Brian Cowen, man boobs, the invention of NAMA, a strangely Star Wars-y like Banker creature, a new Super Hero for the Times We Live In and builders arse (blink and you'll miss it). Oh, and there's ninjas. And a dust up - along the lines of the gunfight at the OK Corral, only the offensive weapons are hurleys and sliothars. Those poor ninjas didn't stand a chance...
It's come out a little clunky, by virtue of the fact that I gave myself a month to figure out how to use Flash. Not because I like putting myself under pressure or anything, it's just that's how long the free trial of Flash lasts before you have to hand over some serious wonga to Adobe for the full version.
Funk that for a game of soldiers...
Anyway, warts (and there are many, many warts) and all. Here's the vidjo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQPh7SBUoec

Bill Coleman new music
Went out with P&P to see Bill in Doyles Ruby Sessions last night.
He has sprouted quite a healthy beard. And gotten 15 red t-shirts plus red-striped
band trousers. :) Slightly poorer than before with working part-time but lots of time for music.
He had last two weeks off completely from work and played 4 I think brand-new shiny songs.
I was very impressed, crowd was entranced - completely silent a few times - noticable when the music goes softer. COOL. I get blown away with the sounds and it's tremendously emotionally engaging.
Hard to describe new songs.
One of them was made in 12hrs and making was filmed for someone and it's
sent in as a pilot to rte for a musicians-compose song in 12hours type tv series.
Two of them using the voice/music capture and playback and sing/play in loop with self thingumbyjig.

A couple of Dublin ones, Purty kitchen next Sun. Supporting Gary Dunne releasing something, ...
Busy in work. Over Easter merged queue of things waiting for merge (with a few fixing of silly broken build things) and rollover tests to new versions.
