As with my previous works, I will also copyright this Cd through the Library Of Congress. I believe the appropriate form to use is Form SR (for sound recordings). I think the fee for this is around $75, or so. Technically, once a work is completed it is already copyrighted. I just like the extra protection of formally doing so through the Library Of Congress. I will also do a poor mans copyright and send a copy to myself ... one can't be too careful these days !
7-11-10. I did read up a bit more on copyright forms. I wanted to make sure that I was doing everything correctly. Basically there are 2 forms that apply to recording artists. One is Form PA, which copyrights a particular performance of a song, and the other is Form SR (sound recording). For what I am doing Form SR is the correct form. This form serves 2 purposes, it copyrights both the sound recording and the underlying works. What I will need to do is to send the completed form, 2 Cd's (as they will be heard on the Cd), copies of my lyrics and the $75 fee to the Library Of Congress. I will send everything certified mail so that I will have a return receipt confirming that the package was received. It takes a long time for the material to actually be processed, but the copyright is technically valid once it has been received. The post date on the certified receipt, along with the return receipt, will serve as the official date of copyright. Once a work has been copyrighted, the author has the right to post an official notice on their work. In my case, I am going to use "2010 FOXMAN MUSIC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED". To the left of this caption will be the official copyright symbol, which is a circle with a small "c" inside. My official notice will appear on the back sleeve of the Cd, and on top of the actual Cd disc.
8-25-10, I went to the local library today and made copies of all my song lyrics. I also printed a copy of Form SR and got it filled out properly, and legibly. All that is left now is to finish the masters (only 2 left, will be done within 1 week), burn down 2 copies, and mail out the package to the Library Of Congress. I will also burn 1 extra copy which will be sent to myself as a poorman's copyright.
8-29-10 (8:35 p.m.) YES !!! I did it ! The "master" copies for the Cd are completed. I put together both copyright packages today, and I will mail them out tomorrow. Well that's it for this post. All that is left now is to join ASCAP, and finish the Cd replication.
8-30-10, I did a 3 1/2 mile walk today (in the heat), to my bank and then a postal outlet. I am proud to say that the copyrights, and ASCAP application, are in the mail. I saved all the receipts for my records and made copies of everything. Technically, the postmark on my certified letter receipts will serve as the official day of copyright for my release. All I need now are the signed return receipts to cement the process.
9-8-10, Just got back from my California vacation. Before I left I had received my poor mans copyright package through the mail. So, that part of the process is finished. I am a bit concerned that I haven't received the return receipt from the Library Of Congress copyright. I'll be patient, there was a holiday Monday (Labor Day), so maybe that's why it hasn't found its way yet.
9-10-10, I am going to have a barcode added to all my Cd copies. This will give me extra copyright protection and assist in Cd sales. Thanks Jennifer (Total Media) for bringing this to my attention.
9-11-10, I still haven't received the return receipt from the Library Of Congress copyright. Well, that's the postal service for you ! Good thing I did the poor mans copyright to cover my ass. The other thing is, if they did receive it and the receipt is lost, the canceled check will show up on my bank statement. Like a return receipt, this will also confirm the copyright. I will definitely be keeping an eye on my bank statements.
9-12-10, Yes !!! I got the return receipt back from the Library Of Congress. Now everything is official and I don't have to worry anymore. I will still save the canceled check statement when it comes in. Well that's it for this post !!!

ASCAP or BMI ?
I am definitely going to join either BMI or ASCAP. Before making my final decision, I will need to spend some time researching both of them. I will use this post to share the information that I have learned. Both groups are designed to protect songwriters rights and to allow for the collection of royalties from air play. Hearing my songs play on the radio would be an absolute dream come true. Being able to also collect royalties from this would be amazing !! From what I have read so far, the fees for joining both groups are very minimal (around $35, or so).
6-25-10, I researched both and I think that ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) sounds like the wiser option. They were founded in 1914. It is entirely owned and operated by its own members. They provide full financial disclosure to their members and the general public. Royalty checks are sent out 8 times per year. The payments are made about 6 months after the performance quarter (BMI is 7-8 months). The cost to join is a $35 processing fee, and that's it, there are no annual dues. After that, ASCAP collects 11.3% from the members royalties for operating costs. I still have to research a few more things, but what I've read so far sounds pretty good. The 11.3% is cheaper than what iTunes, Amazon and others deduct for their services. What's cool is that once I join, and submit my music, they do all the rest. All I have to do is sit back and collect the royalties. If I start gaining notoriety, I will already have myself set up to start collecting royalties from airplay. How cool is that !!! Any way I look at it, I have to join this group.
8-25-10, I printed out copies of the ASCAP application. I will probably still register online, but it is nice to have a physical copy that I can review beforehand. I have only one week left until my California vacation, and there are only 2 songs left to master. My priority before the trip is have the Cd completely finished (masters) and the copyrights sent out. Once I return, I will join ASCAP and visit Total Media to have my work replicated.
8-29-10, I guess I am on a roll ! Last night I finished up the final touches on the graphic design. Once I finished, I saved everything down to a memory stick. Today, I finished up the final "master" copies of the Cd. I also got both of my copyright packages together. Since I have to go to the post office tomorrow, I figured I might as well add one more letter to occasion. This letter is my application for ASCAP ! It will cost me an extra $30 to register by mail, but at least I won't have to deal with my credit card company. I am very proud of my decision to join ASCAP, and I look forward to becoming a card carrying member.
8-30-10, I sent out my ASCAP membership application today. I don't foresee any problems, at all, with my application being accepted. I imagine that there will probably be a letter of acceptance waiting for me when I return from my vacation. I will keep my fingers crossed anyway.
9-8-10, Just got back from my California vacation. My return receipt from ASCAP was here waiting for me. Now I'll just have to wait and see if I'm accepted.
9-18-10, YES !!! I just got accepted to ASCAP. The confirmation arrived through my email address. I guess they are also mailing out a welcome package with my membership card, and #. Once I receive this, I will be able to register all of my songs on line.
9-28-10, OK, I'm an idiot. I didn't need to wait for my membership card to register my works. I already had my membership #, I just needed to enter my full name correctly and come up with a new password. That is all done now and I am ready to roll. Since it is 2:15 a.m., I have decided that I will start this project when I wake up. I just received an update from Jennifer at Total Media that my Cd's will be available for pick up by Thurs, or Fri (today is Monday). The registration of all my works with ASCAP is going to coincide with the release of the "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd perfectly. (6:45 p.m.) Well that wasn't too difficult. All of my songs (even the new ones) have been submitted for registration at ASCAP. All in all, I have a total of 32 tunes that equal up to 2 hours, 7 minutes and 30 seconds of music ! My shortest songs are "Won't Be Home Again" (2:40) and "Hard Times" (2:45). My longest songs are "Simple Minded" (5:26), "Halfway To Memphis" (5:24/Songs From The Gallery Cd) and "Oh Desiree" (5:23/Songs From The Gallery Cd). All I have to do now is wait for ASCAP to process the song registrations, and I'll go from there. At some point in time, I'm sure that I will have to send them copies of my 3 Cd's for their records. I also still need to receive my membership card. Now that this is done .... Go Rays !!! Price is pitching, we're playing at home and are 1 win from clinching a playoff birth. We also still have a shot at winning our division and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. At this moment we are neck and neck with Minnesota and the Yankee's for that honor. Go Rays !!!
9-29-10, Yes ! The Rays are in the playoffs for the 2nd time in 2 years. We are 1/2 game up on the Yankees and 2 on the Twins (5 games to go) for home field advantage. Tonight is the last home game of the season and they are giving away 20,000 free tickets. I was thinking of going until I saw the lines of fans, outside the stadium, on the TV. I just got done checking my ASCAP page, where I was surprised to find that all my songs are registered already ! All that is left now, is to wait for my membership card to arrive and this post will be complete.
UPDATE (2-16-14): All songs from my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd can be heard in their entirety through the tune player below. Please make sure to also check out my home website at: www.foxmanmusic.com

Cd Replication
This post will be for the Cd replication process. This is the point when the actual copies are made. This process will be a bit costly ($1,500 for 750 copies, or so). Once I get to this point the Cd is completed in its entirety (graphic design and recording). Despite the cost, I will be very happy when I get to this point. I think it will probably take about one month, or so, for the copies to be finished. So, I will need to have the "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd totally finished by about mid September. At the beginning of the year, I set my target release date for this Cd to be around Oct-Nov. If all goes well, I will be back to this post around early September.
7-4-10, How cool is this ... I completed the graphic design for my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd on the 4th of July ! This day also marks the end of my 2 month storage unit rental, which means that all my vocals are officially completed.
7-11-10, I have just finished recording the last track on the entire Cd. All that is left now is the mastering ! Talk about timing, my studio monitors just arrived a few days ago.
8-29-10, YES !!! According to my first post, I am about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I finished up the "master" copies of the Cd today. Last night I put the finishing touches on the graphic design. After all these months of hard work it all comes down to one memory stick (graphic design artwork) and one Cd ("masters"). In 2 days I going to visit my brothers in California for one week. As soon as I return, I will call my friend Dan at Total Media and make arrangements to replicate the release. YES !!! I can see the finish line ! Tomorrow I am sending out both copyright packages, and my application for ASCAP membership. The Cd replication is all that is left to do. (10:00 p.m.) I sent a message to Dan, letting him know that I will ready to replicate the Cd, around September 9th (Thurs), or 10th (Fri). This will all coincide with week 1 of the NFL ... YES !! I have 2 fantasy teams ready to take care of business. This will keep me occupied while I wait for the copies to arrive.
9-8-10, I just got home from my California vacation. Tomorrow I will give Danny a call at Total Media and set a time to meet him. I still have the radiator problem with my jeep to deal with, so I may have to use my parents car to drive there. One way or another, I am going to get this done.
9-9-10, I brought my jeep to a local garage today. Hopefully it is just going to be a hose, or the radiator. I also called Total Media and made arrangements to come in tomorrow afternoon (going to use my parents car). Danny is out of town for 4 days so I am going to work with Gary, the company owner. Before I go to bed tonight, I will have to listen to the Cd one more time and make sure everything recorded alright.
* Yes ! The NFL season starts tonight (Saints vs Vikings). The last time I watched a Saints/Vikings game it was the playoffs this past January. At that point in time I was just starting my Cd. Now, here I am 9 months and 14 songs later, getting ready to have the Cd replicated ! I am also proud to say that I have 3 fantasy football teams ready to take care of business.
9-10-10 (12:00 a.m.) I am listening back to my Cd, to make sure everything recorded alright. While in California I played the Cd for my brothers. The only problem was that I had to use the DVD player, as a result I was at the mercy of the speakers as they were (no EQ that I could adjust). To cut to the quick, the Cd didn't sound very good because the speakers were loud on the low end and the high mids were obsolete. I do have a bit of a husky voice, so the speakers didn't compliment my work very well. Anyway, I am really enjoying hearing the Cd through my PC. Everything sounds good again ! (5:00 p.m.) I had a very good day today. I went to Total Media to start the Cd replication process. Gary was gone for the day and Danny is on vacation, so Jennifer and Sarah helped me out. Everything with the graphic design looks like it is going to be alright. Not having the actual disc design in the right format wasn't a problem at all. The specs on everything else should be perfect. I am also going to have a barcode added to the copies (on the back panel), for resale and extra copyright protection. Once they have checked the audio on the Cd and put the graphic design together they will email me a copy for my final approval. Once I give my approval the Cd is sent out for replication. I was happy to hear that the replication will only take 2-3 weeks, instead of 1 month. The total cost to have 1,000 copies made is going to be $1,440 ($60 below my projection). I left a $700 up front payment with Total Media, the other $740 will be paid when the copies arrive. The other good news is that my jeep has been repaired and the cost was only $282. The problem wasn't the radiator, is was actually a worn out o ring in one of the hoses. All in all, I spent $1,722 today, but it was money very well spent.
9-13-10, I talked to Sarah at Total Media today. As it ends up I saved all the graphic artwork in the wrong format. I had everything in the Bitmap format and it needs to be changed over to JPEG. I just finished converting the pictures and saved them to a memory stick. The girls were just leaving the office, so I will have to make another trip over there tomorrow. Whew ! Just a minor setback.
9-15-10, I made it to Total Media around 1:00. The JPEG version of the pictures will work out just fine. The resolution was still low at 90, so Sarah had to enhance them all up to 300. I think what happened is that I have my camera set to the bitmap, low resolution, format. If I wanted all the images to be 100% perfect I would have to go back and retake all the pictures (in JPEG) and do all the editing all over again. I decided to go with what we got. The images, as they are, are good enough (about 90% perfect). The slight blurriness adds a bit of a mystique to the overall graphic design. I was also thrilled to find out that Sarah is a classically trained musician, who can play multiple instruments ... and plays in a symphony ! I told her that if the occasion arises where I need to put together a band, I may be in need of her talents. I am definitely serious about this. When I go to pick up the Cd copies, I will make sure to set up a day to hang out with her and check out her work. Sometimes life has a funny way of making things happen.
9-16-10, OK ... I just gave my final approval on the graphic design, so the Cd has officially been sent out for replication. I feel like I just handed off the baton and now the entire project is out of my hands for a while. The final prints of the graphic design looked perfect. Sarah and Jennifer did an excellent job centering the design for the top of the disc, so that worked out well. I'm not going to worry, everything is going to turn out excellent !!!
9-19-10, I am totally enjoying all this down time while I wait for the copies to be finished. Thankfully there is a lot of good TV going on to keep me company (NFL, Rays games, Boardwalk Empire, Dancing With The Stars, etc). The Rays are battling the Yankees for home field advantage and the Bucs have started the season 2-0. The season premiere of Boardwalk Empire was excellent. It's going to be a very memorable series.
9-27-10, Jennifer just notified me through an e-mail that my Cd's will be available for pick up on either Thurs, or Friday (today is Monday). It's so cool of them to keep me updated. When it is all said and done the Cd will be completed and available for purchase by the first day of October ! This means that I finished the entire project about 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule ... how's that for delivering the goods ! From start to finish the entire process took 9 months to complete (and it is all captured here in my "Crazy Like A Fox" blog).
9-30-10, YES !!! My Cd's are completed and ready to be picked up. I e-mailed Jennifer and told I would be in around 1:00 tomorrow to pick them up. Once I get back home I will have to spend some time getting all my websites up to date, with links to purchase the new Cd (Etsy and ebay). Friday October 1, 2010 is going to be the official release date for my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd. I did it !!!
10-1-10, I picked up my Cd's this afternnon ! Everything turned out perfect ! Sarah and Jennifer rock ! I ended up getting an extra 75 copies, bringing the total to 1,075. The total cost ended up being $1,390 (another wise investmebt). We forgot to include the barcode in the graphic design so it isn't included on any of the copies, which is alright. The barcode will just have to be added during the 2nd printing (hopeful thinking). This will make the 1st printing more distinguishable. Thanks again to the girls at Total Media. Well, that's it for this post !

From start to finish the entire process took 9 months to complete (and it is all captured here in my "Crazy Like A Fox" blog).
9-30-10, YES !!! My Cd's are completed and ready to be picked up. I e-mailed Jennifer and told I would be in around 1:00 tomorrow to pick them up. Once I get back home I will have to spend some time getting all my websites up to date, with links to purchase the new Cd (Etsy and ebay). Friday October 1, 2010 is going to be the official release date for my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd. I did it !!!
10-1-10, I picked up my Cd's this afternnon ! Everything turned out perfect ! Sarah and Jennifer rock ! I ended up getting an extra 75 copies, bringing the total to 1,075. The total cost ended up being $1,390 (another wise investmebt). We forgot to include the barcode in the graphic design so it isn't included on any of the copies, which is alright. The barcode will just have to be added during the 2nd printing (hopeful thinking). This will make the 1st printing more distinguishable. Thanks again to the girls at Total Media. Well, that's it for this post !

"Crazy Like A Fox" ... graphic design
Yes, I like looking ahead ! This post will be dedicated to the graphic design for my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd. Besides being a songwriter/musician I am also an artist. On my 2nd Cd release "Like The Freak You Are", I used images of my artwork in the graphic design. In a way, it's like using one hobby to promote the other hobby. The trick with artwork, like music, is making a particular piece as memorable as possible ... it just doesn't get any more memorable then being on the front cover of a Cd !!! It is still early, and I am way ahead of myself with this post. But ... my early prediction is that I will use my original handmade voodoo dolls for the front cover of the Cd. Yes, that's right ... voodoo dolls !!! I am going to keep the inside of the Cd sleeve simple and just list some of my online links. My home website www.foxmanmusic.com will contain all of the Cd's lyrics. I will also list this blogsite, My Space and ReverbNation. Well anyway, this is where I stand on June 1, 2010. As you know, I may change my mind in a snap.
6-20-10, I had a surge of artistic inspiration today and started designing the front cover for the Cd. I am going to use the voodoo dolls, but in order to present them in the right way I needed some kind of backdrop. So, tonight I created a 20" x 20" display case for them. I chose the 20" x 20" dimension, because the front cover sleeve is a square. At the top of the display case is my name "Foxman", at the bottom is the Cd title "Crazy Like A Fox". For both of these, I used stencils and turquoise colored construction paper (my name, at the top, is also shadowed in yellow). In between my name and the Cd title is a 13 1/2" x 20" recessed stage area (set back 5"), where the voodoo dolls will stand. The entire display case is done with hard cardboard (black colored). I am not sure what to put on the back of the recessed area (behind the voodoo dolls). There really needs to be a picture, or collage, with some depth to it. An old black and white picture of a dirt road surrounded by trees would work very well. The voodoo dolls are very colorful, so I definitely don't want something behind them that will be a distraction.
6-22-10, I went out last night, before it got too dark, and took some pictures. I ended up going to a cemetery down the road, which worked perfectly. I came up with 4 pictures which turned out pretty good. Today I went to Kinko's and made copies of all 4, done in black and white to a 13 1/2" x 20" dimension. I brought them home, tested each one in the backdrop, and then made my final decision. I opted for the photo with the dense woods in the background, a meadow in the foreground and 2 drooping trees on the left and right. Of all 4 of the photos this one had the best detail. An interesting aside, there was a coyote running around in the cemetery, once he saw me pull up he ran into the woods in the background of the photo. So anyway, this black and white photo is now going to be the background in the recessed area of my front cover sleeve. I put the voodoo dolls in the display and took a few photos. It is already starting to take form ! It still needs a little more detail, so I am thinking about hanging some of my homemade voodoo jewelry from the top of the recessed area. I think it would add a really cool element to the display. This whole approach is awesome because it give me an opportunity to showcase two of my other hobbies (voodoo dolls and jewelry). I am also thinking that I may even use another black and white photo for the back panel of the Cd. Turquoise lettering (with the Cd and song names) would look really good on top of it. It's kind of funny that all of this came about on a day when a wiley coyote and a sly Foxman crossed paths in a cemetery.
6-23-10 (2:00 a.m.), I put together a bunch of cool voodoo beads to hang in the recessed area of the front cover display (skull beads, African Christmas beads, bone spacers, small bone skulls, etc). They added the perfect amount of color, and mood, that I was aiming for. The front cover display is now complete ! The most challenging part will be to capture the perfect picture. I don't want to have any camera flashes showing up in the photo, so I will have to take the pictures outside. One of the local parks will serve as an excellent location for this endeavor. I think it is cool that the front cover for this Cd is going to be a picture of an actual artwork that is entirely handmade (rather than a bunch of computer generated graphics). The voodoo dolls, beads, background and stencil work all make for a very unique cover design. All together they present an artsy, freaky and nostalgic vibe which compliments the songs perfectly. (7:00 p.m.) Ooops ! I tried to take it too far and messed up. With many of my collages and paintings, I like to put a coat of clear gloss (or glaze) over them when they are finished. Well, I tried this on the lettering areas of my Cd cover display and it didn't go too well. It was way too hot outside and the gloss didn't set right. I ended having to redo both lettering sections (name and Cd title). On the brighter side, prior to this mishap, I did go out and take some more pictures. I think I have about 4-5 that turned out excellent. I will visit Kinko's tomorrow and have them printed out, in black and white, to a 20" x 20" dimension. There is a good chance that some of them will be used on this Cd.
6-24-10 (4:00 a.m.) After a good workout, I finished redoing the lettering parts for the Cd display. They are pretty much identical to the first ones I did. Lesson learned .... keep it simple ! (3:00 p.m.)I just got back from Kinko's. 2 of the prints turned out excellent. I will now cut out the pictures and paste them to poster board. After that I will take pictures of them. With these photo's and my front cover display, the trick is to get the best pictures possible. Once I have all these pieces worked out, I will hit the park and photograph them. With the 2 new photo's, one will be used on the back cover and the other will be used somewhere inside the Cd. All together there are 7 spaces that need to be filled (4 for the front cover sleeve, one for the back cover and side slot, one under the Cd tray and the actual top of the Cd disc). So far, I have 3 of them worked out. (8:30 p.m.) I ended up taking a ton of pictures (inside the apartment) of the new photos and the cover display. The results were awesome. I am positive that I have captured the right pictures for the front cover, and the back panel. How about that ... no need to go to the park. After looking over my last Cd "Like The Freak You Are", I realized that there are only 6 spaces that need to be filled (there wasn't an open space under the actual Cd). I need to contact the business that replicated my previous releases, to see if they have a template that I can download. It will make things that much more easy when I go in to have the new Cd replicated.
6-28-10 (3:00 a.m.), I have spent the last few days experimenting with different front covers. I have opted to use the computer for the lettering, instead of the stencil work I did on the display case. I am still using photographs of the voodoo dolls with the black and white cemetery picture in the background. The computer generated lettering is much more professional. (11:00 p.m.) I have almost completed the back panel for the Cd (except for the lettering on the side flaps). The black and white photo I used is actually taken from the back side of the one used on the front cover (behind the trees that the coyote ran into). Basically, I photographed the same wooded area from exact opposite vantage points. For the back panel, I used the same "chiller" lettering that I used on the front cover with a turquoise color (for the front cover I used an off yellow color). The song titles, on the back, are done with a light gray silvery color. When put on top of the black and white photo they have a bit of a ghostly effect. The turquoise color represents the nostalgic vibe of "Best Days Of Your Life" The cemetery approach ties into the songs "Sweet Adelaide", "Doppelganger Blues" and "Simple Minded" (one of lyrics is "and to all our dear departed .."). The black and white effect used in the photos goes along with "Where's The Sun", "Horrible End" and even "Wilderness Of Mirrors". The voodoo dolls represent "Same Old Troubles". "Downtown" and "Hard Times" are kind of cop and robber tunes (not sure how to tie them into the graphic design yet). "Under The Weather", "Coming For You" and "Nothin" are songs about relationships (not sure what to do with them either). I have another black and white photo that I am probably going to use on the back of the front cover sleeve. The photo was also taken from the same vantage point as the one used on the back panel, just a bit farther up the path. For the actual top of the Cd, I am contemplating using an old vintage record approach. This would also tie into the nostalgia of "Best Days Of Your Life". Maybe I will even take it step farther and make it look like a gold record.
6-30-10, I pretty much have the entire graphic design worked out, except for the actual disc. Being the perfectionist that I am I will probably end up tweaking a few things, but for the most part the general layout is worked out. On the inside of the front cover sleeve I kept things very simple. I wrote down the address for this blog, my home website, my art studio (where the copies will be sold from), ReverbNation, MySpace, You Tube and Twitter. I also included a picture of me giving the thumbs up. This is the first time that I have included I picture of myself in a Cd. An interesting aside, I hid 5 small "Foxman" insignia's within the forest pictures. In black coloring they blended in very well with the tree branches. It will make for an interesting trivia question some day.
7-3-10, Yesterday I went to a local park and took some more pictures of the front cover display, and the black and white background photos. A couple of the pictures turned out real well. I spent most of today working on the pictures using the same general layout approach I used on the other pictures. They turned out excellent ! I am positive that I came up with some keepers. I am still going to experiment with front cover some more. The design I am going to use on the actual disc is that of an old vinyl record. I have the perfect picture for it. I just don't know how to cut out circles with my editing tools. More than likely, I will work that out when I go into Total Media to have the Cd's replicated.
*** Just to make things a bit more fun. I intentionally hid 7 small "Foxman" logos within the Cd's graphic design. With all the limbs and branches in the pictures, it was an easy thing to do. I am not going to give away any clues, so you'll have to see if you can find them on your own.
7-4-10 (7:00 p.m.) Well, I might ass well make it official ... on the 4th of July ! I am positive that the graphic design is complete. I experimented with some different cover ideas, but I keep going back to an original one I did about 1 week ago. All of the new panels I worked out 2 days ago are perfect ! All that is left is the top of the actual disc, which I will do when I get the Cd replicated. I thought this whole process was going to take a while, but it all came together rather quickly (less than 2 weeks). Luck is still on my side. Hopefully it will stay that way throughout the mastering and replication process.
8-21-10, I have been rethinking my approach for the graphic design on top of the actual disc. I was going to use an image of an old vinyl record, to capture the old school vibe. Instead, I am thinking of using an image from one of my art works. The art work is actually a collage that features a whole bunch of American coins, dating from the founding of our country to current times. The new approach should add a "pot of gold" vibe to the release. Hopefully, it will also make my fans feel as if they have found something rare and collectible. When I get a chance I will take some photo's and go from there.
8-29-10 (5:00 a.m.) I have spent the last 3 hours putting the finishing touches on the graphic design. For the actual disc, I am going to use a format similar to the Cd's back sleeve. I don't have the actual dimensions, or a usable template, for the actual disc. As a remedy I cut a disc sized circle in paper and put that over the image on my PC. When I get to Total Media, I am sure that Dan will help me cut out the image so it fits on the disc properly. I do, also, have 2 alternate versions for the disc. One is the vinyl record, and the other is a photo of the voodoo dolls with the lettering in yellow chiller text (same text on the forest version). I am almost positive that I will go with the forest version because of financial reasons. The printing on top of the disc can get very expensive if too many colors are used. The forest version is mostly black and white with yellow in the text. The voodoo dolls have just about every color imaginable. I saved all these images down to a memory stick so that I am ready roll when the time comes. Later today, when I wake up, I am going to record 6-7 "master" Cd copies.
9-14-10, the lesson I have learned with this release is to make sure that my digital camera is set to the JPEG format, for the best resolution. I found out that I had inadvertently set the camera to a lower resolution for all the pictures used on this Cd. They all ended up being alright and the slight blurriness ended up adding a perfect mystique to the graphic design so no harm is done. On future projects I will make sure to have the camera set to the JPEG format.
9-16-10, The Cd was sent out for replication today, so I am officially finished with this post !

Best Of The Foxman !!!
I just decided that I am going to elevate this Cd to a whole new plateau. What I am going to do is to add 6 songs from my previous 2 Cd releases. The songs I am considering are: "Shake For Me Now" (stripper song), "Have Another Cigarette", "Black Cat Saloon", "City Streets" (underground love song), "Shadows" (ominous instrumental) and "Sunday Morning". "Sunday Morning" is from my debut release "Songs From The Gallery", all the rest are from my 2nd release "Like The Freak You Are". These 6 songs would give me a total of 20 tunes for my "Crazy Like A Fox" Cd. I also think that this will make original copies of my first 2 Cd's collectibles. 20 songs on one Cd release !!! That will definitely put this release in the running to be groundbreaking. In a way it would be a "best of" release ... and that's cool. When you have nothing left to lose, why not fire all your cannons at once. The record industry, and avid listeners, will have no other choice than to take notice. In a Rock-n-Roll kind of way, I guess I am all about the kill shot !
6-17-10, I have thought this approach through for a while, and I have decided to bypass the idea. It would be cool to have a 20 song Cd which includes some of my past hits, but I also think it would be a step backwards. My previous Cd's were all recorded on a BR 8, this Cd was done on a BR 1600. There would definitely be a difference in sound quality. Not to mention, it would also take away from the importance of my prior releases. Maybe 20 years, or so, down the road I will consider doing a "best of" release. Until then, it's all about moving forward !
