Preview of the second Right Arm of Wyoming CD. 16-minute MP3 with five songs, no vocals yet, but everything else is close to where it needs to be.

f I get inspired I may finish these five songs and release as a free download-only five-song EP.
I pressed 1000 of the first ten-song CD, sold about 100, which made me break even, but sales have gone down since I put it online. But I don’t want to NOT put it online, everything always gets more downloads than sales.
And it’s a lot of work to mail CDs around, and most people burn ‘em to MP3s these days anyway. And I like the immediacy of just doing it and getting it out there. And I’m not doing this for money. It’s a hobby and a mission.
I like the idea of doing EP-size releases from now on too….why wait nine or 12 months between releases…..just bang out a new EP every four or five months. Might work better from a promotional stance too, more chances to have people blog it….I’d rather release a five-song EP every five months than a ten-song LP-length batch every ten months.

I’m so listening to this when I get home.
Downloading as I type. From the description you give over at stinkfight.com I’m pretty stoked about the finished product. I like the first CD, but I think I might just love this one.
