Album is done, funds are lacking..
Well, the album is completed, but I currently lack the funds to get it out there and do a proper launch. I am selling some stuff on Ebay to try and raise some funds. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Ok So March 15th
Ok, I don’t know who, or if anyone is reading this blog. So I guess I’m doing this more because if you write something down for some reason it’s more likely to happen! I want to make the 1st Reverend Evolution album available for people to buy on March the 15th 2012. About a week before the release there will be 3 podcasts talking about the album, the songs, where the ideas came from etc. I am doing this to answer a thousand questions before they get asked. This podcast will be available here on this blog. After these first three episodes the podcast will continue and will be dedicated to an ongoing discussion on Atheism in popular culture. This is because I believe that by creating more Atheist content we will have more of an effect on more people than by any other method. Most people don’t understand concepts like evolution and they don’t want to. My feeling is that by creating content aimed at becoming part of the pop culture lexicon, we can provide people a trail to follow. In this way we can provoke thought and break the inertia of minds at rest.
Delayed by Flu
Well, as we got to the home stretch and were almost done, I got the flu. This meant I couldn’t sing the remaining vocal track, and I couldn’t mix the songs that were completed. I am over the flu but as I want to put my best voice forward it will a few days yet. I have however decided to do a podcast that will start off as a companion for the album. It will give the listener the story behind the creation of each song and will be split into three parts. After that I invite you to email me your questions and comments about the music or tell me about atheist media you have created or feel is worth people watching. The general idea is that the podcast be about popular culture’s role in supporting science and reason. I hope you will be part of the discussion.
On another note, since I am in Canada there’s no Skype-in service here. I wanted to set up a phone number that would allow people to simply phone in their comments etc. If you happen to know of an alternate service that provides this function please let me know.

It's Finally Going to Happen!
Well, it’s finally going to happen. The Reverend Evolution CD is nearly finished. 10 songs that I hope will make people think about Atheism, Religion and the world we all live in. To start it will only be available on BandCamp.com mostly because iTunes won’t let me sell the music for the price I want and then they want way too much in service fees! So Screw you Apple! Well not really I might put it on iTunes at some point. All the songs are near complete, just a bit of vocals and some lead guitar to go. The first episode of the podcast will be a preview of the songs and a look at the ideas behind the songs. So this post is simply here to establish the blog.
