NEW ALBUM OUT NOW - NOT IN STORES (yet)!

About Me

My new album, 'Extremely Cheap Music' is now available to buy. Here is a copy of the tracklisting:
1. Convenient 2. A Ludicrous Hospitality 3. Quantized Heaven 4. Non Causa 5. A Delusional Talk 6. Impulse 7. Legitimate Lovemaking 8. Deleuzional 9. Confucius I 10. Void. 11. Inconvenient.
I think those are some good song titles, but if you want to find out how good the musical content of those tracks are, then you will have to buy a copy. If you know me in person, you can get a copy off me for £2.50, saving yourself postage costs, and you don't have to wait for it to work its way through the snail mail system.
£2.50 is a meagre fee (in my very biased perspective) for this album, given the graft and time I have put into it. I am still not sure if after all this effort whether it is ANY GOOD, but I do know it is worth a little more than zero.
If you don't know me in person but are relatively interested, then you will have to send me a cheque for now - I will set up a PayPal thingamadoo when I get the time. Send a cheque for £3.50 (inc. postage) if you are in the UK to:
Steven Jouanny, 21 Hollym Road, Withernsea, East Yorkshire, HU19 2PLPlease, please remember to put your own address in the envelope with the cheque. Your money will only be cashed after I have posted your goods - so you can be sure that you're getting a 100% fair deal. Also, I am sorry, but I cannot accept any responsibility in the event that the Post Office decides that your cheque has to take a very scenic route to my house, or in other words, in the event that your cheque does not arrive, and the same goes for the CD.
Overseas persons - it is a little trickier for you. I would advise that you email me instead (email address: stevejouanny at hotmail dot com), and then I can request money from you via PayPal. UK persons, who would prefer to use the Internet for payment, may also use this feature. This is the reverse of the cheque situation though: I can't send the CD until I've got payment as a guarantee.Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Steve is a multi-instrumentalist who formed the group Blue Sand with guitarist Gary Richardson at the age of nine. Steve remained with Blue Sand until 15, leaving to join "Little Cooey" on bass, which disbanded a year later. The ashes of this group reformed to become Huxley's Circus, which incorporated several styles into a rock format, however, due to unreliable attendance from the singer, Huxley's Circus stopped gigging, only to be totally abandoned 3 months later. Steve filled in on bass for local covers band Stealer in the interim. He plays with Shef Uni Jazz Orchestra on bass, and plays in his own band called Miles Beyond, along with several groups in MPS.

ACHTUNG (German is great for barking commands)! Do not try to promote your band or your fledgling net-label by posting flyers on my page - or by leaving comments on my page. You CAN send me messages about your music, or send me messages about my music, as I am interested in other people's musical opinions. Be warned that if you do post any posters/flyers on my page, I'll take em down quicker than you can say CHEAP-ASS PROMOTION.

Interesting

MySpace is probably not the place to announce an interesting experiment in music (It would probably be more appropriate if I was affixing a picture of one of my friends doing something rather inapprop...

Dear Mark, you write on your website, which I discovered through some convoluted Googling: 'Artists are almost all cowards. They almost never do anything genuinely brave and daring. Insulting Christia...

Smile, or should that be Spam

Yeah, that Lily Allen song - everyone's bloody humming it in one key or another, so I've decided to write a take-off of it.  It concerns the subject of Spam, and can be sang along to the original...
