HUMP JONES ON PAUSE: Enjoy some free music
Posted Mar 20, 2008 7 comments
“Gee whiz, Uncle Humpasaur, you’ve been gone a long time.”
True indeed. I’ve been working on the 100+ articles I already published here—reformatting and expanding the material into the upcoming book. I’ve been working on new material, too, but I’m going to save it up for awhile. I’m doing most of my writing over at the very un-sexy website Audible Hype, which is devoted to helping independent artists with their DIY music career.
In the meantime, I’d like to share the advance copy of my first album. The final tracklist will be a little different—there’s a couple of gems I haven’t included in this collection. There’s a couple of tracks on this advance which won’t be on the physical CD. Keep it Moist will be coming out on World-Around Records and once we’ve got a release date, you will know about it. In the meantime, enjoy this offering and pass it along to anyone and everyone who might dig it.

Whoa. I thought I could look at the cool colors on the page to fill the time. Disappointingly enough you rule as always and are right on time for passing around the breadcrumbs to me and everyone else to enjoy.
Just one question… The bulletin I sent five minutes ago didn’t inspire you to do this very cool dropping of underground musical espionage did it? I kid and stroke my ego as always.
All kidding aside I’m glad you are still keeping the Humpasaur alive and I totally look forward to listenning to the album and sharing the music with friends.

I’m saving up articles so I can let the site go on autopilot while I focus on promoting the album. I was inspired, as far as I consciously know, by simple frustration mixed with curiosity. I’m realizing I’m way “behind schedule”—a strange human phrase—on the album, that’s the frustration. The curiosity is just wondering what people will think of the music.
Only pass it on if it’s good. I’m not asking for favors from anyone. Yet.

Yeah. I know what you mean about being “behind schedule”. Sometimes with whatever it is that I do I have a real hard time completing my projects when “the real world” gets in the way. Oh well, I’ve learned enough patience the hard way.
Well, I’m sure the album will be good. I will definitely give it a listen when I have some free time on my hands.
And of course thanks for making it available to me and everybody. Thankyou very very much for that Hump
. I look forward to hearing what the results of all that labor sound like.

Going to listen as soon as the download finishes. Whatever happened with the legal situation vis-a-vis the oh-so-awesome artwork? And speaking of legal situations, I just found a wifi hotspot that works from my bedroom window that breaks the 700kbps mark. Oh my. That being said, I have just noticed that the download finished in the time it took to type this, so I’m breaking out my headphones.

Damn that shit sounds good. I will say that I don’t relate much to a lot of the lyrical content about bars and such, but your flow sounds like you’ve been doing this for years and several lines made me laugh out loud. In my opinion, the beats are fucking excellent on many of the tracks, and the mix sounds really good. My personal favorite is Getting It Wrong; I love the drunken swagger and clatter that makes me think of a character from Jim Jarmusch’s Mystery Train or some old film noir movie. But I’ve been drinking absinthe so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about at all, at all. On a somewhat unrelated topic, I think Mahdi Rock is seriously good. Oh, and bring on the Hump Jones book, I for one will buy it.

Mr. Jones, Sir, I thank you for posting your vocal tracks. I will get to remixing presently. This was quite enjoyable upon first listen.

Great tunes, thanks.
