Ranking highlights follow. Fisches Nachtgesang and Illumined Pleasures have some legs. And, gosh darn it, people like them.

And, yes, I know I didn't update the links in my last post yet like I was supposed to, but currently I have a nasty cold, so I went to bed last night at 7:00 PM instead of doing ANYTHING else.

Since I'm off topic today (and so are you), you should go here.

I'm not going to tell you what here is. You just have to go there and fiind out for yourself.

Suffice it to say, I've spent hours there and found it thoroughly enjoyable.

If you're like me, then you will too.

The Vein Flamboyant was accepted by raw42 today.

This is what they said:

The Vein Flamboyant - Games Soundtracks
A soulful journey inside the belly of a synth is best way to describe this track! It's very funky in feel - but all using synth/keyboard sounds. Pretty short and sweet, but great background or game music.

Grumbling Lizards is now available on mp3.com.

Grumbling Lizards is an experimental electronic song featuring edgy synths, seriously cut up drums, vintage synth fx...and marimbas!

I used a lot of different styles of arrangements on the drum loops. Lot of variation there to keep things interesting. I also played a lot with the vintage synth loops and use a wide variety of them in the song. Fun stuff.

'Til Tuesday sold close to 2 million albums, had several songs licensed for commercials/tv/etc, had several videos - and made a few hundred thousand in advances.

Aimee Mann (former lead singer) goes indie, makes $4 per CD net, and shipped 400,000 CDs for a total take of $1.6 million.

Not bad. Makes me rethink my goal of a CD deal. I guess I should do some sort of indie thing.

The Birth Of Liquid Desire Ambient
