About Kim's Thirty-One - 31 songs in 31 days - January 2009

Be sure to click on each track to see the art and read the lyrics and blog. Thirty-One: 31 Songs In 31 Days From Kim Vermillion To kick off the new year off with a bang and get my creative juices flowing, I wrote and recorded 31 songs in 31 days, one new song a day from January 1st through January 31st. Now what? I'm pleased to announce that following the successful completion of my 31 songs in 31 days project I am launching the sequel, no not 28 days in February, but rather the refinement and continuation of January's 31 songs. I'm going to make an album. No, actually WE are going to make an album! I need your help, you've been with me all along (or you just showed up - welcome!) and now you know the songs, the styles, the strengths. I want your help choosing the ten strongest songs of the thirty one to make an album out of. After we choose the songs we'll start production and you get to help. Maybe I played it on piano but you hear it on guitar - tell me! You think a song needs violin, cello, glockenspiel, harp, theremin - tell me! You want to send in a sample of your voice/guitar playing/mom's dog barking for me to incorporate into a song - do it! I'm not putting a time limit on this but let's say that we'll try to do one track a week. Ok? Great. I'll upload songs as they're being worked on so you can hear the new instruments and help decide what happens next. It's an album by committee, sounds like a nightmare, but let's go into it with a positive attitude. Ok? Ok! Now tell me which songs you want to see finished on an album so we can get started. vermillionlies ( a.t. ) yahoo com AND!!! I'm going to make 31 CDs of the songs as they are now - with signed cover art and something extra for fun - and I'm going to give them away at random to people who have donated to my project. I will actually write down all the names and then pick 31 out of a hat. It's not too late! I'm going to keep the contest open until Feb 11th so you can donate ANY amount to put your name in for the drawing. Each name will only go in once, though you can donate as many times as you like. Many people have donated $31 which I think is pretty great. You can donate through Bandcamp or here: http://www.kimboekbinder.com/music.html The artists who donated art will also be included in this contest: Trixie, Brent, Syvlia, Edgar, Hayley, and Jordan. (While art will always be accepted and appreciated it will no longer qualify you to enter the contest.)
