Chinese Democracy

As many of you may already know, Guns N’ Roses new CD Chinese Democracy actually has a release date! Unbelievable. Us die hard fans have waited for what seems like forever. I look forward to hearing it in its entirety. I will definitely be picking up the album when it is released on 11/23/08. We’ve waited a long time, Axl.

You can listen to the title track at http://gunsnroses.com

Joe The Plumber

I am so sick of ‘Joe The Plumber,’ even if he does have a good barber.

Podcasts, media, and more…

It was brought to my attention that there were problems with some of the download links on the site, mainly for the podcasts. The problem was actually a download counter script that all of a sudden was not allowing any downloads over 20MB.

It could have been fixed, but there were also some browser compatibility issues, and since it was serving no other purpose than ’stroking the ego,’ I decided just to get rid of it altogether. Ego is after all, highly overrated.

All of the podcast links should work correctly now. I’ve edited them on my other sites too. I also added the ability to download them, or play them directly on the page via a flash player. I edited the rest of the media on the site that was available for download so that it has this feature too.

I would like to thank Maria for pointing out the problems with the podcast links, her review/comments, and for her very kind words:

“Jeremy Gratton has the best podcast voice I have ever heard. I only discovered his short skirt as a podcaster just yesterday. What a shame he quit posting podcasts. His voice makes me wanna go ooooh! And his taste for spoken word matches mine. What a shame, no more podcasts from Jeremy!”

Who knows… after I wrap up my new poetry book, Seasons of Change — which is almost ready for its release — I might just get back into doing some podcasts. In the meantime, check out the older ones here.

OTP Update: Ringtones and more…

I’ve redesigned more aspects of the site, including, artist pages, free music pages, lyrics, etc.

For the first time, ALL lyrics from Big-Hired Assassin, Freedom Of Existence, and Jeremy Gratton are now available.

OTP Ringtones are also available and can be checked out at thumbplay.

Big-Hired Assassin’s Post Mortem Blues Of Succession is still causing controversy for spoken word/performance poetry.

You can still Hire An Assassin!

Check out some free OTP music here!
