The "Bucketheadlands Island Of Lost Minds has been added to the Order Form and we have them in stock.  If you ordered the Pre-Order of Population Override here\'s the latest. The CD is being pressed right now, we have been promised a drop shipment from the manufacturer which I was told would be another week or so. As soon as we get them in we will ship them out. It still looks good for getting them well ahead of the official release date. I am always mindful of all the things that can go wrong so I can\'t guarantee anything. Also if you pre-ordered P.O and now you want to combine that order with IOLM\'s I\'m afraid there is no way for us to do that because of the shopping cart software we use it\'s a nightmare to re-tender all the sales to make that work. Your order for IOLM\'s will have to be separate from your pre-order. We have tried to keep the prices of the CD\'s down and hope that makes up for any inconvenience.

Just a reminder the link to the song is :
http://www.tdrsmusic.com/cgi-bin/downloader/my_downloader.cgi
The direct link changes every so often to control the bandwidth
and encourage downloading to your hard drive rather than streaming the song over and over. And to keep track of how often it\'s downloaded. If you want to give the link to someone if you could help me out by giving the above link instead of the files direct link, the above link will stay the same the direct link will keep changing. Please help keep my poor little Mac from going up in flames.

K, here\'s the latest. The new release date from ION is May 4th. As hard as we tried to get it out sooner thats the official release date as of today. I have talked with ION and Bayside the manufacturer and distributor. They have told me they will supply me with CD\'s as soon as they are off the press and that should be well ahead of the official release date, perhaps 2 or 3 weeks from now, close to the original release date. Therefore I have decided to accept pre-orders for this CD. So if your so inclined you can pre order here
http://tdrsmusic.com/moforderform.html. Be aware, credit cards will be charged and checks will be cashed and god really know when the CD will arrive, but there is a good chance it will be well before anyone else has them.

General Discussion / New Board
March 04, 2004, 12:33:23 am
Due to all the mass spamming on the old board I have installed this one. For the time being guests will be allowed to post. I\'m not a big fan of having to register or having a moderated board  where posts are delayed for review so we will see how it goes. There were around 2000 posts to the old board and I have kept those in a read only archive. You will find a link to it on the front page of this forum. If you were in the middle of a discussion on the old board you would like to continue here, just paste the body of the old post here or link to it and we will try to continue the subject.

Thanks, Travis

General Items For Sale / For sale area
August 25, 2011, 06:13:34 pm
I\'ve noticed a number of items offered for sale in the forums.
I\'ve started this category to consolidate items for sale in one area.  Post your items here, you may post a link to an item here in any other thread if you want to make sure it\'s seen by everyone but I would like the main post about the item posted here.

All the caveats about buying items posted online apply here. TDRS makes no claims about the accuracy of any item.

If you would like an alternative to selling peer to peer, check the consignment thread in this category.

Since the store was changed and out of stock CDs are not displayed I have been asked about repressing out of stock CD\'s. I\'m willing to do pre-sales to raise the cash to do repressing and if everyone can agree on one to start with I may try again, (maybe Peppers or Shadows). First I need to point out that I have done this a handful of times now with vary mixed results. People don\'t seem to realize how slow going sales of CD\'s get after the initial release.

The last two I did was Slaughterhouse and Real Diamond. I had them up for pre-sales for months. Finally we hit around fifty and I thought we can\'t turn back so I pressed them. It\'s been over a year now and we still haven\'t reached the break even point on the repressing for those.

I did a poll asking if you would be interested in a repressing and naturally there were lots of votes to do so but when it came time to pre-buy only 10 percent of those that voted actual did so over months. This time I won\'t do a poll, I need those that are interested to network a bit ahead of time and know that it will be a limited time offer, maybe a couple weeks of pre-sale. I would set a number say 80 that needs to be reached in that time frame. The poll will be the sales. If the number isn\'t reached that there will be no pressing.

I\'m open to suggestions. I would like to never have out of stock CD\'s but the reality is it\'s more difficult then that.

I started this thread to gauge interest and ideas. Let\'s see what we can come up with.

Looks like ship date for The Owl Dives will be 2/25/12.
Also today everyone who pre-ordered received an email with a code to download the whole CD in advance of receiving the hard copy. If you pre-ordered and didn\'t receive the download code, email me and I\'ll fix you up.
All pre-orders from now till release date will come with the free download. It will be emailed shortly after you pre-order.
48
I expect this to be ready later in the month. In the meantime I have posted a page with some info and I\'m offering the first 3 songs on the record as a free EP download in lossless format.
I\'ve explain my reasoning on the page but the short version is I don\'t expect this to be everyones cup of tea so I want to give a good dose up front.  Also I hate mp3 previews, download the  
high bit rate, crank it up or put on your phones and at least I gave it my best shot.  I\'ll add some more info soon. You can pre-order if you want, I\'ll be happy to sign the disc for anyone who asks.

I want to wish everyone a great holiday and thank you for your holiday wishes.
Also, thank you all for the support and enthusiasm  you have shown this year and some of you for the many years that I have been doing this.

I look forward to the coming year and hope your holiday is a great one.

To help enjoy the day, for those that don\'t have these, for today only I\'m giving The Dragons of Eden and Iconongraphy away as a free download at my bandcamp page , links below. If you already have these, thank you so much again for your support, pass the link along to someone who you think might enjoy them.

I\'m getting ready to present the Myopia Construction Kit page and files. Here is the read me for it. Does this make sense if I give these instruction and the sound files. The whole thing will be in a zip file about 40 megabits in size. Before I put this up I want it to work for everyone who wants to play with this. Any input is appreciated.. Here\'s from the read-me:

Inside this folder you will find the following files.
All files are 16 bit 44.1 Wav files.
If you have Pro Tools you will also find a PT session file created in PT 8.
If you are using something else, here's how to set the session up as it was presented in the Alt Mix mp3 on the Thanatopsis 10th year anniversary page.

Create a new session in whatever music software you use with a tempo of 136 bpm and 4/4 time.
Create 4 stereo tracks and 6 mono tracks.

Name the stereo tracks:

Drums
Moog-Arp

Strings

Name the mono tracks:

Drum-loop
Bass

It\'s been 10 years since the first Thanatopsis CD was released.
I have posted a 10 year anniversary page here:

http://tdrsmusic.com/Thanatopsis_10th.html

There is a alternative mix of Myopia posted and a link to buy the CD for $5.00 for a limited time.

I also plan on posting a construction kit of this track with the tracks broken out. I\'d like to hear other mixes and overdubs and see what you might do with the mix. I\'ll have more details about that later.

As always if you ask in the comments section of the order form if your use this offer I\'ll be happy to sign the cover.
52
The Myopia Construction Kit Project is now open.
Because this board is so old and the software lacking in functions I have moved this over to my own forum at travisdickerson.com.

You will need to register there to have access to the Construction Kit files. If you have trouble registering or accessing the forum feel free to ask but let\'s keep all the actual discussion of the Kit over there if we can. Go here if you would like to participate.

Just a heads up. We moved the server for tdrsmusic over the week end.
We tried to get all the links working by adding redirects if needed. Also it might take a while for the changes to propagate completely. If your having problems with dead links, go to the home page at tdrsmusic.com, all those are new direct links. Also if your having problems emailing me, the help desk is working fine you can reach me from that link. I hope in a few days everything will smooth out. please post any odd stuff here and i\'ll check it out.

My email address has become a real problem. I have had it for over 15 years and it had probably been stolen, traded and god knows what so many times that many of the major ISP\'s like Yahoo, AOL, and Hotmail have flagged it as spam and filter my email out. It had become such a problem it shut down our download store because so many download links never arrived I had to scrape it and start over with Bandcamp.

 I have gotten so many emails asking why didn\'t I reply, when I have and my email is filtered out, that I need to do something.

This probably only affects 2 percent of people trying to email me or less but that is no good. I\'m looking at starting a customer support system but need to make sure that will work with all ISP\'s.

In the meantime I have set up a gmail address. If you have sent me an email and got no response try my gmail address here:

tdrsmusic@gmail.com

Here\'s the help desk contact page, it seems to be working fine:

The record store has become spread out all over the place.
I wanted to present a more organized system with a searchable catalog so you can find everything.


This is based on the same catalog as the art store. I want to put it out there for anyone to try and report any short comings or if I missed items from the regular store or if you have a preference before I replace the old system, typos and the like.  It\'s functioning and you can place orders or just look around.

I\'ll add more to it like the art store and other loose ends soon.

We are aways away from introducing the regular edition of the holiday CD. For now we are offering more copies of the LE because so many have asked for it. We are limiting 2 copies per customer for this batch. Click on the link above to order.
58
For those folks who ordered the Holiday CD this week. We are having just a wee bit of supply and demand problem. Our usual next day you order out the door shipping is getting a little stretched. We should get caught up in a day or so. I ask those that are waiting for their copies to be a little extra patient while we play catch up. My apologies for the delay.
59
Yes, there is a new Buckethead CD. A regular release is planned for the first part of the year. For right now a limited edition as a holiday greeting card is available. Shipping now.
It\'s a hand made greeting card by Buckethead, each one different and a CD-R of the New CD in a thin jewel case.
Yes, this CD has the new track previewed on Bucketheadland.

Purchasers of the limited edition will be able to purchase the regular edition at half price when it becomes available.

New Drawings and Paintings have been added to the Art Gallery:
http://travisdickersonmusic.com/art/buckethead_art.php
There will be more soon.

Also, we are having a Garage sale. The coop has gotten pretty cluttered.
I\'m going to run a very loose auction for some extra items we want to get out of here.
I\'m starting with one of Bucketheads acoustic guitars. This is a simple auction. Add a bid to the form and after a week the highest bid ( above the reserve if there is one) will take it. At the end of each day I\'ll post the high bid so far. We won\'t use your name just the high bid.
Everything else will be handled privately by me. I\'ll be adding items here every week. If you have an interest check it out. ask any question you might have here or by emailing me. Please don\'t PM me, I never or rarely read those. The link to the auction is:
