I'm on iTunes!! (and I need your help)
Wooooooo! It only took 4 FREAKING MONTHS but I am finally on iTunes yay! Check it out!
If you are in the market for purchasing the digital version of my album, it's much better for me if you purchase it from my site, however, if ordering it from iTunes makes you buy it when you wouldn't otherwise buy it - go for it!
But, what I would love is if you are someone who has listened to the album, even the previews, you can go and leave a review on the iTunes store of my album and give it a rating. Since no one knows who I am, I need all the help I can get to push the album up in the rankings there. If you are willing to leave a review - it would make me super happy. You don't need to have purchased it from there to leave a review.
Thanks guys and wooooo! :) :) I feel real now :-P

Now Accepting CD Pre-orders
Woo! You can now pre-order "Start Again Tomorrow" on CD so that it gets to you ASAP when it arrives on my doorstep. I can even fulfill orders to international customers - and the shipping, although more, is not unreasonable.As a bonus, all CDs that are pre-ordered will be autographed (there is a place for instructions if you'd like it to be specific).
Site Updates / Return of the Cover Recordings
Heyyy everyone :) I am happy to tell you about some improvements to the site. Check out the new "Album" section which takes all the stuff that used to be spread out all over and brings it together into one tasty bite size morsel.Then, there is the Media section where I have added back a large number of my cover recordings including two never before heard ones (Trouble, and First Day of my Life).
The site should also work better for you IE6 users, and please comment on my songs, blog posts, etc.
Much love, Benj

Going to press!
Hey everyone -- just wanted to share the exciting news that the CD artwork is finalized, and I have a "replicable master" which is a fancy way of saying "a CD that is perfect and they will use it as the source for all the copies."I put the master into my computer this morning, and it contacted the internet and brought in all the songs names and such - it felt more real than ever I was so excited! :)
So, one final proof, and then I will be awaiting 10 giant boxes containing 1000 CDs on my doorstep. I know many of you are holding out for the physical CD, and I am excited for you to get it. If you are so inspired, I would love to invite you to share your thoughts in my blog discussion:
Old|New School - CD or Digital Download?
I will let you know as soon as the physical CDs are available for order! :)

"Start Again Tomorrow" Released / New Website
I am very proud to let you know that my album is finally done. After three years of ridiculous hard-drive related catastrophes, work leaving me with so little energy, and a slight fear of would happen next -- it is finished.
The album is immediately available for digital download through this site for $10. Click on the "Buy the Album" link at the top to purchase.

In the next few weeks the album will also be available for sale online at a variety of online retailers, and soon after I will have physical CDs for sale as well. I will post news updates when new stores come online. I suspect the price will be roughly the same, so if you are anxious to get it, don't wait for any specific store, but the plans for online sales are through:

New Schedule for Stickam Web Shows
Starting tomorrow Wed 7/2, the new schedule will be two different one hour shows:
Wednesday nights 10-11pm EST (for east and west coast)
Sunday afternoons 3pm EST (for my euro and asian friends)
Watch
I am really excited about the turnout I have gotten for the web shows on stickam. I also have gotten a lot of feedback about the 7-9pm time being difficult for many to attend.
I hope that this will make it easier for you to attend - I would love to see you.
