Hello.. getting lazier and lazier.. o' DJ Copper Top is.

anyway, even with my laziness, this summer sees yet two more more mixes for
ol' girl! ++ lots of guest spots. AND sick as a moose (huh?) I made it to all so
far.

FIRST: the pictures.. here are pictures from the GenCon events August, 2006
lead by the Indianapolis's promotional mastermind (and my best friend AND gay
boyfriend..huh.. again?) Chris Conner:

NEXT: the first mix this summer was on Infacted Recordings out of Germany.. I
have very few copies of this available, and I recommend you go on to the
Infacted Website, or MNS (UK), or Metropolis Distribution (USA) site to get your
copy. It is called Infactious 2, and it is an incredible non-stop and live mix
of all the amazing acts on that label.
www.infacted-recordings.de Limited to 1,000 copies it will sell out quick.

The second is out on my own label called Amalgam Recordings. Last year was
"Hysteria" (nearly sold out.. less than 100 copies left) and this year is "Dirt
Cheap" (release date September 1, 2006). The ideology behind Dirt Cheap was to
make a pressed CD I can afford to sell for $5, and with other products sold..
just give away. I believe, FIRMLY, that the market for CD's has fallen behind
due to cost, and the $5 CD is the ultimate answer.. most people will buy a $5
CD. Although, the bottum line is.. I ADAMANTLY believe people should pay for
music, and anything else is stealing, unless it was offered to you for free.
Dirt Cheap will be released "officially" at the A Different Drum Synthpop
Festival in Salt Lake City Sept 1 and 2. It is possible to get the CD for free,
and at the most for $5. Details will be forthcoming. Here is the tracklist for
the CD.
