If you must, go do it, but if you a) want to buy this album and b) actually care about the sound quality of your music, stay away from mp3s and buy the actual disc. That way, you can digitize it yourself. So even if you do put the mp3s on your iPod for convenience, you'll still have the disc to listen to in all its sonic glory when you want.]]> http://spinachworld.net/news.html#52 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0800 Spinach World - Mark Westin - Mark's Ramblings http://spinachworld.net/news.html#51 CDBaby and will soon be on iTunes, Spotify and a whole host of other places.

This is a GREAT sounding record, sonically superior production by Todd Giudice. If you're even remotely considering buying it, I would strongly suggest you get the actual disc as opposed to mp3 download. I know mp3 can be convenient, but the disc has a much fuller tonal range that just sounds awesome when you crank it up.

Other than that, keep an eye out for shows, and various other appearances in the interests of selling a few of these babies...]]> http://spinachworld.net/news.html#51 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 -0800 Spinach World - Mark Westin - Mark's Ramblings http://spinachworld.net/news.html#50 See Hear! page and click on the "lyrics and credits" link for the song of your choice. At the bottom, below the lyrics, is a listing of the players and as much detail as I can remember about who played the solos and who played the fills etc.

Some people like to geek out on this stuff.]]> http://spinachworld.net/news.html#50 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Spinach World - Mark Westin - Mark's Ramblings http://spinachworld.net/news.html#49

Had a great session with Todd and Raquel Vidal singing harmonies on Open Mike (it was on "dirty folk" but will appear as a bonus track on Dark Humour in a full band jam version). Way too much fun was had. Looking forward to some other upcoming special guests in the coming weeks. Actually, really looking forward to just getting the thing done.]]> http://spinachworld.net/news.html#45 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0800 Spinach World - Mark Westin - Mark's Ramblings http://spinachworld.net/news.html#44 http://www.facebook.com/markwestinmusic?sk=app_2405167945]]> http://spinachworld.net/news.html#44 Sun, 13 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0800 Spinach World - Mark Westin - Mark's Ramblings
