Pushing thru the eye of the storm. After a lovely holiday known as Thanksgiving in the U.S., there was a mellow weekend. Then Sunday evening and an all-nighter last night led to a breakthrough. Oh, and finally the Atmos version of Delicate Stretch of the Seems finally landed!
There was a literal and figurative storm around my world last night. Finally Mother Nature did a little dusting of snow after an extremely warm November. Then there was a non-trivial event of the network in front of the server and I was up all night getting it back online. I’m in a state of delirium as I write this.
The good thing is on Sunday I made a major step forward for those on the Jody Army list. All the points I’ve been planning for fans have been getting tracked, but not reported. Now they are finally tracking, updating and reporting. In the next email going out there’s some peeps that will get a special email welcoming them to the first tier of the Army.
The best part of the points kicker is that all emails will now give you your current point totals – all you need to do is keep on being you, reading the emails, coming to the website and sharing. Now that the points tracking is in place and solid, I can move on to the next bit of awesomeness. The plan is to announce it January 1, 2026.
After a large amount of back and forth with the distributor and Apple Music… The Atmos version of Delicate Stretch of the Seems has finally landed! Yes it will sound similar to the stereo version, but also quite different in spacial feel. It’s been a long ass time in the making and it’s exciting to finally be getting it out there and available for your ear holes.
Lastly to kick off December, it’s finally time to start wishing people a Merry Christmas and or happy holidays. What ever floats your boat in cheerful sayings. To that end there’s gonna be some festive stuff popping up in the next few days and next few weeks as the year winds down.
I’ve kept up my goal of releasing a new song every week since I began back in February. What a ride it’s been and 2026 will have a lot more of that coming as well.
This particular proclamation starts yet another trend in terms of timing. Stay tuned!
