Oxygen Thief album = 1 month old today! #teamDIY‏

Hey peeps, my album turns 1 month old today so have put it up to stream online to celebrate:

http://soundcloud.com/oxygenthief/sets/teamdiy

It's only going to be up there in full for today, so if you could pass the link around Facebook/Twitter/etc then that'd be awesome.

I've a couple more favours to ask if that's ok? I'm not too fond of the concept of "street teams" and all that, but the odd call to arms every now and then is alright isn't it?

If so, I might get a few #teamDIY badges made & send them out with stickers to say thanks for helping out. Then we'll work out some sort of secret handshake and go on adventures and solve crimes and drink lashings of ginger beer........

-----------------

Favour #2 - free download single Terry Nutkins Salute has been played a couple of times by Tom Robinson on 6music, which is awesome but...it'd be nice to get a bit more airplay wouldn't it?

If you have a minute to email your favourite alternative music dj (Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe, the Rock Show/Punk Show, Bruce Dickenson, XFM, etc) and point them in my direction then that'd be a huge help.

If you've not already downloaded it, then head to http://www.oxygenthief.bandcamp.com for a slice of noise.

Favour #3 - Sites like Amazon, iTunes, Banquet Records etc all have "customer reviews" sections where you can rate things and leave comments - entries for the album are looking a bit sparse at the moment...so if you've already got it and would be up for popping your opinion down then go ahead:

Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004UR2AAC

Banquet: http://www.banquetrecords.com/btr9

iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/modesty-is-dead/id429133101?i=429133104

If you haven't already got it, then grab it from one of those links :)

Think that's about it for now - thanks to everyone who came out to gigs on the tour, it was a fun month. Things are a little on the quiet side gig-wise for a while, going to start working on some new stuff for a bit, but my 200th ever gig will coincide with my set at 2000 Trees Festival so I'm looking forward to that, and I'll be opening for the rock-tastic Hymns in Bristol on Saturday 23rd July

Cheers
