Wake up, be bright, be golden and light.
At some point in the past I wasn’t actually sure that this would ever come out but here it is, yo. I could write something moving about the relationship between the artist and his/her audience, the symbiotic line we each have one end of etc But really this is
YOU - ‘We like music’
Me - ‘I’ve made a music you might like, would you like to buy one?
You - Hmm, I dunno, what if it’s crap..?
It’s not crap. It’s me doing what it is that I do nowadays but maybe not next time and after that who can really say?
I should never have given records away, I should be proud of what I do. Besides, baby needs records, I mean, clothes.
Much more to come this year. The soundtrack to this fine Monday is ‘Brand New Day’ by The Staple Singers
THANK YOU! x

It’s available on iTunes, too, innit?
I hope you get decent whack from the Appley people.
The pics and the design are great.
Fingers, toes and crusty dressing gown crossed for you. Not that you need such hollow [and slobbish] voodoo.
Nice one Martin, congratulations on the new album!
Can’t see anything in the Sonny Boy Record Shop yet though…?
Oh, LAME dood, I had the debit card out and everything. SMH.
YOU: Please buy my album, you’ll probably like it
Me: I would but the shop isn’t working.
:(
shop is all working and hunky-dory now.
bought and downloaded and listening (magic!), when’s it getting a vinyl press then?
Got, listening to now. Wahoo.
downloaded. listening now. wonderful.
Would love to review the album for my site
Can I buy it on CD and own cover art? Please Please
You said “I should never have given records away, I should be proud of what I do”
But then I wouldn’t have downloaded the bravecaptain album, loved it and then bought the new one!!
Can’t wait to get home and play it
martin, i love it. i love it. i have been playing it to the cows, and the kookaburras and they love it too! let’s take it on tour!
I think you need to offer a mix of free and premium.
If you don’t offer free (ie: CC) you don’t get cited… well, not “legally” anyway. It’s not that dissimilar to putting out singles from each album… but “album” can (and should) now mean a multiplicity of premium products.
never disappoint me, i love pdf cover very much, i feel the same as tape&cd day. and the last i’m so proud to support your work!!
cheers from bangkok
Congratulations on a lifetime commitment to making shitty music.
Nothing beats that disposable flaming Boo Radley shit though, what fucking annoying crap that was
What a belter this record is Mr Carr. I doff my cap to thee.
