Also, the framerate needs to be really bad. Like, at most 10 to 12 FPS.

Oh yes.  lack of framerate is actually the most important part...

My only concern would be that someone in Hollywood will make that connection into the next sequel.

Can they set a Jason chase scene to "Yackety Sax"?

Provided that he is chasing/being chased by Freddie Krueger, most certainly.

And sped up by at least twice.

Not to mention seeing them run by with Jason chasing Freddie, then circle around a tree repeatedly until they run back across the screen with Freddie chasing Jason.

All right, all right. (*ahem*)

A restock is being printed and sent to CD Baby as of this past Monday. A further 100 CDs are being printed and will be sent to me. I can restock CD Baby faster with pre-printed stock. I just have to hope that there are 100 more people out there who want the CD.

How go the CD sales, Prof?

Nonexistent, while CD Baby remains out of stock. The latest news on that is that they'll receive their copies on Monday the 16th. I am not happy.

Meanwhile, my 100 will arrive on Friday the 13th. I will take care of the CD Baby restocking myself from now on.

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

As scheduled, my personal stock of 100 Calibrations CDs arrived here on Friday. Now, all I'm waiting for is CD Baby to receive their stock so they can go selling again. I'm probably going to have to pay to boost my Facebook post on the matter so that word spreads as far as possible.

Perhaps a message to any Let's Players or reviewers who have done any of the games your music is in?  "Hey, if you liked the music in this game, could you pass the word to your fans that there's a new album by the same composer?"

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

I'd do that if I followed the community. As is, such an attempt might be viewed as too blatant, I fear.

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

BTW, the CD is finally back in stock at CD Baby!

[ProfessorTomoe 1,308]

This doesn't bode well.

My sales since the CDs came back in stock have been ... wait for it ... one.

I've got a hundred of the damned things sitting in my bedroom. I might be stuck with them.

The only hope I've got is a pending tie-in with Jon St. John. He's going to be giving away free CDs that he'll be autographing at his convention appearances. For those who don't get a signed CD, he'll have special square business cards with the Calibrations cover art on the front and the CD Baby link to buy it on the back. I ordered them from Vistaprint. They'll be arriving Wednesday, I hope.

I have another website for promoting the Calibrations CD. Please go here:

You can play previews of the songs and get links to the sales sites there. Have a look!

I've finally netted $100 in sales from the CD, MP3, and streaming sales. Not a king's ransom, but money is money.

Another thing I've netted is a title I can add to my name - ASCAP! As in ProfessorTomoe, ASCAP. (Not my real title) (No Ass Cap jokes, please)
