Yet the unfinished versions survive!!  A year later, it seems they’ve held up pretty well – well enough to be given out for free again, even.  So here: a 100% recycled, paperless, downloadable gift from all the fellas in Lime Colony.

You can even burn ‘em onto a CD, slap a ribbon through the CD’s hole, and turn that ribboned CD into a badass Secret Santa present.

Go on.  Click that link up there and tell grandma and grandpa to crank up the hearing aids.  For Christmas.

Finally, thanks for reading.  To close out this festive update with a real bang, here is a re-link to the video for the second song in last year’s winter offering (Thank You).

Dan Roe made it.  When we saw it, we were blown away.  And we still are.  And we hope you enjoy it once again.

Finally finally, keep checking back here.  We’ll have an update on a January show really soon.

As noted above, you should not drink this particular holiday cheer, but we’ll certainly advise you to download it:

DOWNLOAD NOW!

Many thanks to Jennifer, who made it known very early on that she thought a holiday album would be a fantastic idea, and who graciously accepted the compromise of a less epic but just as heartfelt holiday single with an A-side and a B-side.  Unless you are a sour-breathed burglar, we sincerely hope you enjoy listening to this free treat, and we sincerely encourage you to share it with friends and family.

Warm Wishes,

Lime Colony

Lime Colony, CA 95688

We are not dead! In fact, we’ve never been aliver.

This has been a good week in music for the LC: a couple of excellent new songs were born and the song list for the next album has been created.  ‘What’s that? A nother album?.’ Yes! We’ll be taking time this summer to work hard on our yet-to-be-titled next EP. You can look for it in the fall. Or, if you just can’t wait to get some Lime Colony goodness, click on the “Buy Now” button over on the right. There you can buy “The Advantage Of Getting There First” (2007) for mere peanuts. The service is called PayPeanuts. Or PayPal. I can’t remember.

The video of our last gig at The Utah is in post-production and will
soon be in our hands. Highlights will be on YouTube. You’ll know when
it’s out.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Happy being.

Yoursest,

Earl

This week’s public service announcement is about songs.  Though our EP, The Advantage Of Getting There First, with a total of five songs, is all we have officially recorded as far as you or anyone else knows, Lime Colony actually has a fairly substantial backlog of written, or partially written, material.  Here is a glimpse of the numbers, most of which are mutually exclusive:

Songs that have been performed live but are not on any EP to date - 3

Songs that have been recorded and have some potential or have proven their potential – 7

Potential songs in the yellow folder that have not been recorded or do not yet have music or need some serious overhaul – 13

Songs in the blue folder – 2

Soundtracks – 1

Jingles – 1

Covers we’ve played or seriously considered - 4

That’s all.  Don’t forget to wear reflective gear when riding your bicycle at night.

Tomorrow is Ride-Your-Bike-To-Work Day, and here is the next concert I’m going to.
