missed that one - I\'ll try to find it online - thanks for the post

I just checked to see if this would be on his site, and I guess you can see it at pbs. org. Runs about 24 minutes. Here\'s the link: http://www.pbs.org/kcet/tavissmiley/archive/201002/20100205.html

It was interesting in that she spoke about their time when they were really young, when they first got to New York and met each other, and continued to support each other through the years. Enjoy!

Tavis Smiley had her on for the half hour last night to talk about it. Great interview ...

Aarrgg-g-g-g! Was gonna do this, thought I had \'til the end of the day (kept putting off setting up an e-bay account). Will the deadline be extended, ya think?

Happy YesterBirthday, Travis, hope it was a good one!

So this morning I loaded the CD onto my computer to add to my playlists (y-e-e-s-s, I\'m still listening to it ...) and, it just so happened that, after the last song (Walk On the Moon) on the CD, Homing Beacon comes up next in my library. It took about minute into the song before I realized the CD had ended, they flowed together so seamlessly. Serendipity!

So if you\'re wondering what feel the new CD has, for me, it\'s sorta like that.

QuoteThe few who\'ve gotten theirs already, what day did you order? Saturday? Friday? - It\'s now, what, Tuesday? How\'s that even possible? You guys live down the street from the studio? I\'m gonna go check the mail, but I think it\'s highly optimistic at this point... but then I DO know that Travis gets \'em out FAST... I\'m hoping for Thursday, realistically, but praying no later than Friday so I can get my fix for the weekend.

smooches,

Ordered it during the wee hours of the morning on Saturday the 6th, got it mid-afternoon on Monday the 8th! Not bad considering there was a Sunday in between ... I\'m only about 40 miles from TDRS, but I think, in general because it\'s such a large metropolitan area, the L.A. area has a lot of hubs for many shipping business so things move in and out of here pretty fast.

That said, TDRS turnaround is still amazing. My last order was the one that floored me. Placed an order about 4:30am on December 23rd and got it about 7p on the 24th - that\'s less than 15 hours!!!

Personally, I think Travis must be dabbling in magic or making regular sacrifices to the shipping gods  

I ... can\'t ... stop ... listening! Beautiful, lush, lyrical. Put the headphones on for the first go through and just melted into it.  After that, I\'ve just had it on repeat for hours playing in the background.

Definitely more between ARDITR and Electric Tears than like NIASS or Follies. Actually, sounds like what the song titles suggest ...

And, again, Travis, thanks much for the quick turnaround. You guys are amazing!

QuoteThank you for that. Yes, I am a musician not a webmaster or business person.
I don\'t do those things gracefully. I would much rather spent time recording music then spending time going through pages of html or php programing code for errors. However, I do think it\'s essential musicians take charge of their own affairs and keep in contact with and work hard to make sure those that appreciate what you (we) do enough to put hard earned money down, have input and are listened to.

So....I\'m convinced.  In the next couple of days I\'ll upload these two CDs to the Bandcamp site where you can purchase the CD and get a high bandwidth download while you wait for the re-pressing. I\'ll make an announcement here and add a link in the banner above. I guess I don\'t have to mention this but, just in case. It\'s important that if you voted you follow through and purchase the pre-order. If not you will leave those that voted in good faith and followed thorough hanging. If all of you who voted follow through right away, we can have these CD\'s in hand soon.

Thanks, Travis! Much appreciated, as always! And I\'m sure you\'ll get even more pre-orders than the poll numbers, once people elsewhere find out about it.

Uh, now, if someone would clue me in on what Bandcamp is and where to find it :-/ Is it somewhere on this site or somewhere else? Are you gonna put a link at the store, too, or just here at the forum? (I just don\'t want to miss it and have them all snapped up before I get my $$$ in ...) Sometimes I can be so tecno-illiterate ...

And on a totally different note, Travis, I (and I\'m sure most of the people who come here) really appreciate your taking the time to look into getting this done, and running the site, and all the minutiae you do on the administrative end.

When you\'re primarily a music artist, composer and producer, I\'m sure your creative side must often times groan when having to deal with things like postage rates, reprints, etc. I\'m sure you\'d rather be doing other, more musically inclined, things. So thanks much for all you do for the fans and the grace and good-naturedness with which you do it.

As I\'ve said before, you rock!

QuoteNo, I did it wrong, you did it right. As usual moving a little too fast for my own good.
I\'ll correct my totals.

Not a problem, Travis, just wanted to let you know there were a lot more people on board. You should be hitting 100 pretty soon.

And since I come across a lot of people talking up TDRS on other Buckethead sites/forums, I\'d venture to say if extras were printed, they would sell. Those people who are referred here probably just see "sold out" and wouldn\'t know about the pre-sale poll unless they came to the forum, but would buy the CD (or sign up for a pre-sale) if it was over at the store.

Travis, maybe I\'m reading the results wrong but when I just clicked on the Poll Test Results link it showed 13 for SHotP, 17 for ARDITR and 52 for Both. Wouldn\'t that be 65 for SHotP and 69 for ARDITR, total so far?

I wanted both, so I just checked "Both"; did I do it wrong, or am I reading the results wrong, or ...?  :-/

I would definitely be in on a pre-order for all four (Population Override, Bucketheadland 2, SOTP and ARDITR). I don\'t mind waiting \'til you reach 100; I\'m still working my way through the last two shipments I got from you. Should tide me over for a while!

I\'m another one who\'s been putting off buying it elsewhere and waiting for news from you about a re-press. I\'d venture to say there\'s quite a few of us lurking around the edges
