July 5: I've finally uploaded my new album, Bad Apple, to CDBaby for digital distribution, but they now have this additional racket where they place your album in their "inspection queue", which you will not even be remotely surprised to discover you can pay to expedite. The unexpedited process takes at least two weeks - and I know this because I submitted it two weeks ago, and it hasn't emerged from the other end of the queue yet, no doubt blinking furiously at the prolonged absence of sunlight. In any case, in the meantime, you can stream it or buy it here or download it here. And you can come to the next session of David Scott's songwriter series at the Armory, which I'm hosting.
