Positive feedback on the album!
Here's what some people have been saying about Every Day's a Holiday:
"I listened to the whole CD in the car yesterday. Really enjoyed it!" - DK, "Island Time Radio"
"*LOVE* the CD! Ten tracks are being added to the playlist rotation today." - Thomas, Permanent Vacation Radio
"I played it this morning and then I REALLY didn't want to go to work!" Mary Anne, Berkeley CA
"wow, every song is catchy and has a great hook." - Steve, El Cerrito CA
In addition, CDBaby has already sold out of their first shipment (more are on the way), and the song "Every Day's a Holiday" is already surpassing almost every song from my last album in popularity on iTunes.
Have you got your holidays yet? If not, listen now and then go and buy the album! The only thing you have to lose is your stress.
NOTE: Management assumes no responsibility for absenteeism as a result of listening to this album.

We're playing from coast...to coast...to coast...to coast!
The early response to my new album, Every Day's a Holiday, has been fantastic.
I've received broadcast play, starting with a pre-release appearance on KALX in Berkeley CA, on their "Next Big Thing" radio show, then spreading to the "North Coast" in Cleveland OH on WBWC-FM (Island Time Radio Show), and now I've got songs being added to rotation at WIIS-FM (107.1) in Key West itself!
Online it's getting even more exciting, with songs added at RadioIndy, and the pholks at Permanent Vacation Radio have added ten out of the twelve tracks to their rotation.
Come see what the buzz is about on my music page. Read about the album, and then click on the album cover to read more about the individual songs and listen to samples. And then buy a copy for yourself, and another for a friend. Be among the first to be a part of Trop Rock history in the making, and help make that history!
The holidays are just getting started.

Doubleclick holds Internet hostage - film at 11
I accept that the Internet has to pay for itself *somehow*...but when many of the major sites all use the same ad server, and that ad server is running slowly or not at all...well, it reminds me of the Good Old Days of 56 KBps modems. And not in a good way.
Granted, part of it is doubtless my own fault. I didn't look at the posted schedule before setting my VCR last night. (Yes, 20th Century technology; I'm hopeless, right?) So I somehow missed recording a significant part of the Doctor Who season finale. When I turned on the VCR earlier today, Davros was busily monologging the Doctor and Rose, which implied that a whole lot of something had been going on before my VCR turned itself on last night.
Right. So I start poking around the Internet for a video of the part I missed - they've existed in the past. And every site - BBC's Doctor site, BBC America, SciFi Channel - is loading slowly if at all, and my browser status bar says they're all waiting for content from ad.doubleclick.net.
The gorram ad servers are holding the Internet hostage. On a Saturday, when nobody is likely around to fix whatever problem it is. And I'm pissed.
