Is The Album Format Dead?

By curtisrx | Published: May 18, 2010

Hello Fiends,

Is the album format dead?

We all know that the music business is changing and that means the way musicians record and release music is changing as well. We have been hard at work on new Creature Feature material and have been throwing a few ideas around about how to finally release it the masses. In the past, bands would take a few years to record an album and release in stores, leaving a lot of dead time between new material, but now bands have the opportunity of recording music and releasing it instantly. Some people say the long format of the album is dead and releasing songs in little bursts as they are recorded is the new order of things. I could go on for hours about this, but what I really want to know is what you guys think.

Would you rather have full length albums every year or so, or would you rather get consistent 5 to 6 song EPs every four to six months as the music is recorded?

I am very interested in hearing your opinion, so please post it here as a reply to this blog and you could change the way we release our future album.

Hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx

Factory Second CF T-shirt Blowout, $10 Each With Free Shipping In The US!

By curtisrx | Published: February 1, 2010

Hello fiends,

We have decided to get rid of a box full of factory second Creature Feature t-shirts and offer them at a great deal for those of you who wanted a shirt, but couldn’t afford to buy one at time. These shirts may have slight ghosting, tiny paint blotches, or slight snags, but they are all perfectly wearable and none of the flaws detract from the shirt’s image. We just didn’t want to sell these at full price because they weren’t 100% perfect like the others we had. We are offering these factory second shirts at $10 even which includes free shipping in the US only (sorry International friends, but overseas shipping is a killer now). Thank you, these shirts are now sold out:

Edgar Allen Poe
SOLD OUT

Look To The Skies
SOLD OUT

Hope all is well,

Added Some More Items To My Ebay Store (Guitar With Hand Written Lyrics, 4-Track, Horror Movie Shirts)

By curtisrx | Published: January 30, 2010

Hello fiends,

I’ve been going through all the stuff I’ve collected on and off tour for the last few years and realized that I just don’t need all of it—so I decided throw some items up on Ebay. It’ll kill two birds with one stone because I’ll be able to clear out some of this clutter and it will bring in a little bit of spare money that I can put toward the production of the two albums I’m trying to get finished this year. Which means I’ll be able to get them out to you guys a little bit quicker.

Click the link below to check out my latest auctions which include some vintage shirts, brand new horror movie t-shirts, my 4-track recorder, and one of my guitars that I used to write some of the first album, which also includes the original hand written lyrics from ‘Six Foot Deep’ & ‘The Greatest Show Unearthed’ included as a special gift. I’ll be adding a few more things during the week, so please check back for those too.

Another big way you can help me get this new music out quicker, if you haven’t already, is to purchase one of the rare Creature Feature advance copies of ‘Greatest Show Unearthed’ that we still have available. All profit on sales of these CDs goes directly into the next album budget.

They are packaged in a cardboard jacket made to look like an old record sleeve with alternate artwork. The cd itself is also made to look and feel like an old record (grooves and all). These were limited to only a 1000 (of which only one box remains) and come hand numbered on the back cover. We are selling these last remaining cds for $9.99 (FREE shipping & handling) and $12.00 if you live outside of the US. Click below to purchase through Paypal.

Here are a few pics of the alternate artwork:

Last, but not least, I also have a donation box set up here on my website just in case anybody has a dollar or two to spare or a millionaire has money burning a hole in his pocket and wants to make a smart investment.

Thanks for reading and I hope all is well,
~Curtis Rx
