Dan Tindall: News and Views

The music section has been updated for the new album!

All My Meditations - CD/MP3 album - click here to go to CDBaby

 

 

Nine original acoustic songs that cover subjects from the confusion that is this everyday life where nobody cares but everybody has an opinion - the banks took your money, you hate your job, there's nothing worth watching on TV....but you can always escape to the mountains and find beauty in unexpected places!

 

 

 

 

Check out the new 5 song EP from this delightful lo-fi folk duo featuring yours truly...

I'll be re-releasing 'Kill The Machine' and 'This Is My Path' in the near future - stay tuned!

This Is My Path EP by Dan Tindall

Sad, happy, funny, thoughtful - so many variations, so many voices.

Folk music - much maligned and yet periodically picked up as a new-old 'alternative' when the money men need a cloak for their greed - is nevertheless the music of life, of people. This selection features real people playing real music - and no two songs are the same!

All these artists have their work uploaded to the internet - many of them at the splendid ezFolk.com - so make use of you search engine and find yourself some real music!

Discovering all sorts of new things about online distribution has kept me quite busy recently - along with a lot of writing and recording some new tunes...oh, and promoting my new EP, of course...

I have all sorts of new stuff to be getting on with (this website needs a few updates as well) - I really ought to be very happy about all these things I have to be getting on with...which, of course, I am!

I also want to say thanks to all the folks who have been so helpful recently with the netlabel, the new EP, and, especially, who have been listening and downloading. Free music is about sharing, and that makes all my musical ventures all the more worthwhile!

My new EP 'Kill The Machine' is available through Binary Releases - an online digital distribution group currently consisting of an online store for digital downloads and 3 separate record labels - on their Binary Indy label.

More soon!

Kill The Machine EP  by  Dan Tindall
New 4 song EP - preview from SoundCloud - more info later....

Brand new release from S.W. Campbell - 'Some Assembly Required' - a fantastic 5 song EP - visit the Prosity Records website to read more and download for free!

The 'Post-Industrial Polka' LP is now available free from Prosity Records...you can also download it for free from my Purchase Music page.

The Zip file contains 11 songs plus CD cover.

The second release by The Nasty Angels on Prosity Records features some more great songs by vocalist/guitarist Robby Morrow which are in part a combination of wit and informed observation (as if John Cooper Clarke, Billy Bragg and John Lennon all got together and went on a road trip), and part acoustic lo-fi exuberance. How could anyone resist?

Zip file contains 5 songs plus cover art and original notes


1. Santa Monica

2. Cowboy Drunk

3. Wednesday (in the kitchen)

4. Midnight Cowboy

5. America

Couple of new poems added...on the 'Poetry' page...!

Right now (well, not this very second, obviously, as I am typing these words...) I am recording some new tunes, as well as looking for opportunities for Prosity Records (and new artists, for that matter) - it is good to be busy, but better to be fulfilled...anyway, some new stuff is on the way!

The world is a strange place, full of mystery and wonder, and often given to throwing a spanner in the works...it is also a world full of misery and corruption, and deadly hypocrisy - often this brings us all to a sudden halt, whether we like it or not. Some will say that their god is in judgment, but the gods are not that fickle, nor are they cruel. Humans make their own disasters, and should relish them for what they are...a comedy of the tragic nature of life...

I have re-released the Black Butterfly EP through Prosity Records - Click here to go to the release page - and while you're there check out the fantastic 'Immortality' EP by the Nasty Angels!

Please take some time and visit my latest project Prosity Records - an acoustic netlabel offering free music under Creative Commons terms.

The first release is the fantastic 'Immortality' EP by acoustic duo 'The Nasty Angels' - 5 great songs!

Harrisburg LP
Click the link above to download the 10 song LP 'Harrisburg' - the zip file includes cover art.

If there's one good thing about having this website (actually, there are several, but anyway...) it is that I have my own space on the mighty interweb where I can keep my little musical project (i.e. me and my tunes!) all in one place and not have to worry about the prospect of it changing its format, or limiting me to 2 tunes (and forget about external links!), and then just going bust: or just drifting into oblivion - this happens all the time, usually because independent OMDs try to imitate the business models of the commercial world, instead of looking to new models and new methods. It saddens me, but there you go - everybody wants to be a meaningless celebrity, it seems, forgetting that creativity is the mother of progress, not brainless posturing.

Anyway, on a more cheerful note, one of the benefits of this website is that I can offer music for free, and allow people to download songs and artwork as a zipped file (or simply as single tracks, of course, from the music/download page) - and I have been most surprised and delighted by the number of downloads there have been for 'Blue Skye', especially considering the relatively low key promotion...I hope to offer some more all-at-once downloads, both for new tunes, and for some older material which never really got proper 'release'. Watch this space etc.

There was something else, but it has quite slipped my mind...! :)

Blue Skye EP
You can now download a free 4 song EP 'Blue Skye' in MP3 format using the link above (it's also at the top of the page)

Tracklisting

1. Blue Skye
2. Eye For An Eye
3. You Might Surely Say

You can preview lots of new tunes on the music page (and lots of older ones too, of course!)

Dan :)
