Problems With DGM Mail Order
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 27, 2011
All orders for the 40th Anniversary of S&BB and Discipline have been shipped.  Due to manufacturing delays, the US release date was moved to the 25th of October.  We sent an email to each person who had pre-ordered either release stating that the ship dates were being moved to mid October, and it is has come to our attention that many customers did not receive this notification.  Our apologies for this and we wish to ensure you that we continue to improve our mass notification systems to ensure greater percentage of e-mails sent arrive to the recipient and are not lost as spam.  We are also responding to emails sent to mailorder@dgmlive.com as quickly as possible.  If your order has not arrived by Friday, October 28th, please let us know to this email address.

Frippertronics Bundle
:: Posted by David Singleton on Thu., Oct 27, 2011

The Frippertronics Tour Bundle is alive and well - and you really do get twelve shows not ten.

When the website was built, the "man with the specifications" (yes, I think that would be me) did not plan for two shows by the same artist on the same day (duh!), and so these multiple shows appear in mysterious ways. If you click forwards through the tour, you see the Evening Shows, and if you click backwards through the tour, you see the Afternoon Shows. Our very own version of a hidden track.

But if you buy the bundle, you definitely get all of them!

Frippertronics Tour Bundle Problem
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Oct 27, 2011
A number of folks have written in to point out that there are in fact 12 not 10 shows available in the bundle - clearly this Sod Smite character has cloth eyes as well as ears! Seriously though, there’s a coding glitch in the backend of the site which is making the or the afternoon and evening shows on August 1st and 2nd difficult to spot for folks.  Alex and Eric are working on putting that right. We note also that cover art is also missing for the afternoon show of August 1st and so Hugh will put that right. Thanks for your patience. Life was so much easier with just a guitar and two revoxes!

My thanks to Tommyticklemouse for sending in this link to a story about the trend for artists to perform in churches. Pew rock 'n' roll!

Under The Influence...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Oct 25, 2011
Her name is Charlene Soraia and her debut album out next month is called Moonchild. According to this piece she cites Robert Fripp as one of her influences and, if you read on, she apparently experiences cyclothymic moods!
