"Staycation: The Early SPELLS Demos" Is Out Now!

I have a new release out today on cassette/digital called "Staycation: The Early SPELLS Demos"!  The cassette is part of the Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings Hand Dubbed Buddies Club.  It's the 5th cassette of the 2019 HDBC and you can learn more about it, join the club (gold cassettes) or order individually (gray cassettes) HERE.  All cassettes come with download links.  It's also available digitally on my bandcamp HERE as well as all the other usual digital/streaming sites.  I wrote and recorded the songs on "Staycation: The Early SPELLS Demos" in 2012, prior to the formation of SPELLS.  They became the first 3 songs SPELLS learned and updated (plus Staycation became Left Behind).  The SPELLS versions sound like a real gosh darned band.  These versions sound like some dude screwing around.  Both assessments are accurate, for better and for not-as-better-but-still-fun.  These songs became SPELLS songs and are still played because of my very talented and patient friends: Rob, Ben, Don and Lauren.  I thought it would be cool to put out the raw beginnings of a band I've had the time of my life with.  Thanks for checking it out!

"Come Howl With Us" Is The First In A New Cassette Series From SLN!

Last month, I released a digital single called "Come Howl With Us".  The tune is the theme song for the Werewolf Radar podcast and there are two versions, a Full and an Edit.  A physical release was threatened when the digital single dropped and that threat is now realized!  The Charlie Continental "Come Howl With Us" cassette is the first installment of Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings' brand new Hand Dubbed Buddies Club, or HDBC for short!  What on earth is the Hand Dubbed Buddies Club?!  It's a pretty simple concept.  The HDBC features made to order custom casssettes, hand dubbed and numbered with a personal note from SLN and/or the recording artist.   A download link is included.  HDBC cassettes are only available directly through SLN or the artists themselves.  Customers that order a HDBC release are encouraged to leave SLN and/or the artist a personal note at web store checkout.  Cuz we're all gonna be buddies (if we aren't already) and that's all it takes to be part of the all-inclusive club!  Wanna be an ultra club member?  Sign up for an annual subscription to the club!  HDBC annual subscribers will get Gold Mail Order Edition cassettes numbered in orange plus cool bonuses, while those fans that purchase releases individually will get Gray Open Edition cassettes numbered in blue.  To learn more and subscribe, go HERE.  SLN thinks the HDBC is a fun way to be more connected through music and counter-culture, plus it offers a physical format (with cool consistent packaging, plus the gold cassettes match their gold company 45 sleeves!) for releases that might not see a physical pressing otherwise.  My SLN-164/HDBC-001 open edition cassette is available for order in their web store HERE and the digital version is still up on my bandcamp HERE as well as all the other streaming and download sites.  Thanks for listening- again!

"Come Howl With Us" Digi-Single Out Now!

Hey internet, I'm back at it with the jingles!  Werewolf Radar is a spooooky podcast that asked me to write them a tune for their relaunch which is slated for 5/27/19 and I was happy to oblige.  It's called "Come Howl With Us" and there are 2 versions, a full and an edit.  You can hear both and kick me a tip (if ya wanna, don't gotta!) on my bandcamp page HERE.  I'll figure out some sort of physical release through Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings at some point too.  Thanks for listening!

Hi! I Guess It's 3 Years Later!

Wow!  I kinda forgot to keep up with this blog.  Well, here's an abbreviated version of what's happened to me in the last 3 years: SPELLS made lots of records, a couple videos, did a few tours and played lots of shows.  Bad Year, Dust Heart and Sophisticated Boom Boom also made some records and played some shows.  I became an econo-type record producer.  Those Who Can't aired it's 2nd and 3rd seasons.  Nothin' But Time, the B side to Quit Wastin' My Time, became the theme song for a Portland, OR based independent whiskey home-distillery company called (fittingly) Whiskey Lab.  I partnered with a friend to launch Indie Rock Daydream, a screenprinting-apparel-merchandise company.   Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings put out tons of releases, Snappy Little Numbers Entertainment DJ'd a bunch of events and Snappy Little Archives got off the ground.  There!  That's basically it, aside from my personal life (which is pretty good).  More stuff is coming very soon (there's a big hint in the site header picture)!  Thanks for visiting!
