Hi all

For those interested.. i've just finished a new album with a fellow called
Mark Moldre. Basically we are tossing up whether we should call ourselves
the boring but easily explained "Carpenter/Moldre" (or vise-versa), or call
ourselves a 'band name'. To that point, we've got a little poll happening on
my website at www.mcarp.com where you can vote for your favourite name from
a shortlist of some we've put together. While you're there, you can download
a FREE mp3 of 'Tulsa' from the album. This will only be available for a
limited time. Between that track and the background information about the
project up on the front page of the site you should be able to make a
decision on the band name...

While you're there, why don't you check out some of the reviews for Rolling
Ball. I know some of you still haven't got it yet... so why don't you go and
listen to the mp3 samples there or at the Not Lame site whilst reading the
good reviews from all over the world. Then go and order it from Not Lame!!
(if you should feel so inclined) :-)

Also, for those who missed out the first time, there are a limited number of
copies of SOOP#1 available again from the site, and also from Not Lame.
SOOP#2 is progressing nicely, and i'm working out whether it or the
Carpenter/Moldre album will be the next release, probably in the first
quarter of next year.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but i consider you all friends, and figure
that the poll thing at least is worth a laugh..

And i LOVED 3 or 4 songs from the last Elton record...
