Finally, after 3 years of escorting and porn...

[jamiecoxxdotcom]

Welp, I did it. After 4 years of saving up the cash to make it happen, I've finally put my debut album together.

I'd like to thank Steven for giving me a head start in the business, Rvince for showing me how to sustain a successful career working at the Internet and of course all of the fans who were kind enough to chuck some bread my way every once in a while so's I could buy all the fancy guitars, keyboards, monitors, software, etc that helped my songs see the light of day.

About the album: It's called, "Totally Not Completely Unfake" and it's made up of 21 tracks all of which are available for free to download - A tangible version of the album will be made available very soon for very cheap - more about that when I get the shipment back from the factory. Anywho, the music is basically pop/rock that is somewhat divorced from youth culture - in other words; it's weird.

If Billy Joel & Joan Jett had a kid and that kid grew up to write really amazing songs, and then I came by and did really crappy cover versions of those songs - that's what it's like. Also, They Might Be Giants.

You can hear everything in real time and read the lyrics and junk here. (http://jamesfrenchmusic.com) You can also check the individual songs out below... most are around 5megs as I encoded all the mp3s at the highest bit rate possible (320 kbps)

Here's the run down...

2. "On My Way To The Store" (http://skullcandymedia.com/music/02%20On%20My%20Way%20To%20The%20Store.mp3) - Probably the best track on the album.

If anyone has the GetRight download manager on their PC, it works fine downloading these tracks.

And I don't know the novel you refer to here, "Bid Time Return" - is it worth a read then?

I read it in one sitting - was so mad at how good and sad the ending was that I threw the book across the room and immediately wrote the song... the book was made into a movie around 1981/82 I believe, called, "Somewhere In Time" - had Christopher Reeve in it. (Good movie too)

Go download this poor kid's album - it's free and full of unicorns. Do it here. (http://jamesfrenchmusic.com)
