A Little Something(s).

The Jimmy C's new Album "Orbital Debris" and "Mr. Someone" extended single are nearly finished! Digital versions should be available before the end of the year. Here's a preview of the cover art:

And something for your ears - two more tracks that aren't good enough for the album but good enough to be heard:

Here's something loosely Jimmy C Related: Magnus Sellergren (a talented Swedish musician and designer) is working on a solo album, "Call Me Greenhorn", to which I contributed some drums. Here's a teaser:

A couple of new songs that have nowhere else to go.

The new album (Orbital Debris) and single (Mr. Someone) are in with some mastering friends to run it all through some nice tube gear. While I've been waiting for them to find time to do it for free I've had a go at finishing one idea and recorded a completely new one. These two are not very Jimmy C sounding so they're going to live here for people to enjoy for free.

NEW MUSIC!

It's been a while since I've made any music public, but that's 'cos I've been spending all my spare time (between work and family commitments) in my studio demoing and writing.

Here's a few tracks that will probably make it onto a new album before the end of the year.

This one's quite a new one. The idea came to me one morning while I was giving the kids their breakfast. I recorded drums and some guitars on my lunch break and finished the tracking and mixing that night. I work pretty fast sometimes (considering I have hardly any spare time) but this is the first time I've written, recorded and finished a song in a day.

Here's one I wrote after listening to a lot of early Slade. I love Slade at the moment. It showcases my "rock" voice; ie. yelling out of my vocal range..

One from my nylon string phase.

I'm not sure where this one came from. It's quite Queens Of The Stone Age sounding.

I was trying to sound like ELO on this one but it always comes out sounding like The Jimmy C. This is a rough demo version that I'l probably re-record.

Cute Kittens and Funny Monkeys!

Well actually it's just more T.V. Set posters. But I'm told you get lots of hits if you call something "Cute Kitten".

Colour or black & white(ish)... that is the question. Another question is "Where's all the boobs? Dude your posters usually are all about boobs!"

Sorry, maybe next time.

Here's more posters.

The Jimmy C does still make music though - I just need more time to work on the new demos and start recording in the newly completed "Casa De Kensington" studio.

One more (saucier) poster after the jump:

The Jimmy C at Bandcamp!

The Jimmy C is now on Bandcamp. All five of The Jimmy C's albums are available to listen to, buy and download all in the one place. This includes the brand new "Glamour & Fame Outtakes" album. A set of 21 tracks consisting of non-album tracks and alternate versions of songs from Glamour & Fame. The non-album tracks are a mixture of instrumentals, covers and songs that didn't suit the style of Glamour & Fame. It's another eclectic collection of songs that serves as bonus content for Glamour & Fame.

More Posters, and some controversy.

I do enjoy making posters. Particularly when the internerd has so many inspiring images to offer.

Here's another selection of posters for The T.V. Set and one for The Devilrock Four.

I don't consider half naked ladies to be an entirely controversial way to advertise a product or event. The history of the universe is packed full of examples of just such advertising, some successful and tastefully executed and some simply an attempt to see what people can get away with.

A few weeks ago some posters I slapped together for The Devilrock Four were torn down a week before the gig by what was described as "a group of angry feminists". I've posted the most daring of these below (the ones vandalised by the feminists actually showed less nudity). I will let the readers of this blog decide what is controversial.

Speaking of controversy, I was surprised to have the rest of The T.V. Set veto my latest work for them. This is also posted below for anyone's enjoyment. After the surprise of unwittingly designing something so shocking I tried a few different ones to make sure one would get through.

And the one that was too risqué for a cover band:
