My second album: a user manual

I’m sure many of you reading this are anxious to know more about my upcoming second album. For those of you who didn’t know I was bringing out a second album, I am. For those of you who don’t know I’ve ever released an album, I have. And I am. There, now you’re anxious to know about it. I shall put you out of your inevitable anxiety… Now. 

Here are some vital facts about my next album:

1. It’s called ‘painfully mainstream’. 
2. It’s going to be released by DFTBA. Naturally.
3. Yes, indigo will be on it.  
4. There will be an iTunes download as well as a sexy physical CD. 
5. Yes, indigo will be on it. 
6. There are 11 tracks, totalling nearly 45 minutes. 
7. It skips genre frequently, ranging from stuff that’s nearly antifolk to stuff that’s nearly post rock. 
8. Yes, that is a bit pretentious. 
9. Yes, indigo will be on it. 

The planned release date was the 1st of November, but that was based on me getting the cover shoot done by yesterday, so never mind. I’ll talk to Alan Lastufka, a man who is patience personified, about an actual release date. Then take those photos he needs. Send the man some love on Twitter (@alandistro), because I am a terrible contracted musician and he deserves nothing less than another Chameleon Circuit. No wait…

Anyway! Apart from that, I’m also planning on making t-shirts like johnny did, then everyone else ever ever did. I reckon a few Tom Milsom shirts at gigs and things would go down well. 

Tell me your thoughts in the comments, whether you’d buy my t-shirts regardless of whether they’re charming and well-designed or not (although I like to think they will be) and what other merch you’d like to have spawning from my little hands. 

I like you all immensely,

Tom
