New to Soft Charisma? Don’t know what you might be interested in hearing? This Review should help!

A month ago I was contacted by a guy in Alaska (of all places, not so much sun-light!) who needed some light in his life. He found that in the form of purchasing all three of my currently available albums:

Now I don’t actually think I brought him a lifetime full of light, but from his review, he seemed very inspired by what I’ve done with the Baritone Ukulele. From talking with him, he’s also a poet / musician / song writer. I’ve decided to cover one or two of his songs in the upcoming Breakfast With Friends album due out in late 2009.

ANYWAY, check out his review of the three albums that I mailed him last month. I really feel this is dead-on, but I simply must learn to make julianne fries. Here’s an excerpt from the introduction of his review.

From “Soft Charisma” by D’Mo:

The title of this post refers to an indie folk musical artist I’ve recently discovered and become quite a fan of. He plays baritone ukulele, sings and he can make julianne fries! Okay, that last one was a joke, but I’m going to review 3 of this artists albums in hoping that you, my loyal, non-existent readers may enjoy his music as well.

In other news..

I’m still recording Breakfast With Friends and am not sure when it will exactly be out. As of right now, it *could* be out late 2009. I hope not, because I like summertime release shows better! I need to reorganize the track list so it makes sense, right now it’s just a list that I’ve been adding to for my own reference. I should also figure out a good stopping point to stop adding to it!

CD Release – Life Inside The Robot Man

wpengine — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:48:00 +0000

The release was a big success — on a small scale of course.

Release Stats:

CDs: 46+
Downloads (torrent): 75+
Release Show Attendees: 45~ (estimated)

That’s pretty good for a relatively unknown Soft Charisma. So if you haven’t already gotten the CD and you’re a digital kind of person, Soft Charisma endorses torrents of it’s released albums. The last three are available for full download from The Pirate Bay and Demonoid.

Also, be on the lookout for the next album as it pieces together. Chocked full of covers, Breakfast With Friends will be a treat for anyone sharing a similar taste for music with Soft Charisma. Rough drafts of songs will start popping up as soon as I get enough money saved up for a condenser microphone.

New Album, and Quick Question

I’ve got the hammer nailed to the top of Life Inside the Robot Man, but now that leaves new songs and other previously unreleased material left out. I thought they should feel more at home in a new album, aptly titled Apples Audited After Allotment Allocated.

However, I’ve got a quick survey for you which you can simply send your answer in through the contact page or leave a comment directly onto this post (if you have a Google account).

My question is, how do you keep up to date with Soft Charisma?

A: Through RSS / Atom XML Feeds
B: Checking the website
C: Word of mouth

My main question is, how many people utilize the RSS feature? It’s very useful in my opinion and means I don’t have to go to websites I wish to keep updated about. I already subscribe to a few of my friend’s blogs. Well, answer away, and I’ll be working on adding more lyrics onto the site!

Soft Charisma has just scheduled the CD Release Show for Life Inside The Robot Man. The plan is to release the Album online in July, and on August 2nd have the CD Release Show at the Art Six Coffee House in Denton, TX. Most up-to-date show information is on the Shows page. Information about the album itself is on the Life Inside The Robot Man album information page.

Midnight Radio (Hedwig And The Angry Inch Cover) – Very Rough Draft

wpengine — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 16:45:00 +0000

I found a version of Midnight Radio from the Hedwig And The Angry Inch musical while I was prepping for my next recording. I decided I should upload it because it’s not 100% horrible, but it’s still a rough draft. I recorded it originally on March 31st, 2007. So for the record, this cover actually preceded Wicked Little Town. I had worked on Midnight Radio for a while, put down the track (recorded), and then decided to start Wicked Little Town because I thought it would be much more fitting.

Does anyone have an idea of which Rough Draft they’d like to hear next from the upcoming cover album Breakfast With Friends? Well here’s your call-to-action. This is a ghost town comment-wise, feel free to add them and let me know what you think about posts! You can login with an OpenID or your Google/Blogger account to comment.

Finally put up the Shows and Events page. It has documentation on most events Soft Charisma has performed at. If you’re wondering when Soft Charisma will play next, send a booking inquiry and request Soft Charisma to play at your venue / house / apartment or wait until the CD Release show coming alongside the upcoming Life Inside The Robot Man release.
