Joe Cahill: News

I was going to hold off on this entry until after the release of my new album, but I just couldn't help it.
I'm not recording anymore, I fifished the album earlier this month, the songs are published, the artwork submitted, now all's left is the pressing and it's ready to go. I continue to write new songs in my Morning Pages Journal and have ideas for Punk Blues and Hindi Pop and much fusion. Vanishing Acts has helped me maintain the Punk sound while incorporating my own lyrics. So the Fusion and the Punk dont conflict. And the more I write and record, the more it becomes my own.

Due to the arrival of my new album VANISHING ACTS, The Joe Cahill Music website is going through some major changes all around. Now you can:
Listen to soundclips on the music page, read up on the latest news on this page, Check out the updated Story on the Bio page, find new pics on the photos page and new website listings on the Links Page.
There'll still be the writings on creativity and updates on rehearsals, shows and sessions, but with newer stuff coming in.

Paperwork is done for Vanishing Acts. It's official.

The Music page of the website has been updated to include all ten songs from the new album VANISHING ACTS. Release date is set for november, but advanced copies may be available as early as october. And you'll even get a chance to hear mp3's on the website!

The Record is done. But I'm still writing songs. With any luck, the album should be out later this fall. New tunes are growing on me and I think they'll grow on you, too.
Drawing alot on old influences. This album sounds like a Punked up version of my older recordings, sounds less like Back In Blue or Politically Avant Garde. There are references to Lost Weekends and Dream of Egypt and sounds to take you back to I'm Blue and Fantasy Pictures. I'm eager to send it out, but as of now am applying for the electronic copyright.
Paperwork is a pain. If you're looking for your next Joe Web fix, I thank you for your patience there's more music to come.

Finished recording "Vanishing Acts" on Wednesday. It's a ten song album. I'm very proud of the work we did. Hoping to pre release it in October if all goes well.
This CD has shades of "Lost Weekends", "Kaleidoscope" and "Framed". But it's in a more Punk format. I dig the mix. John is amazed at all the differnt sounds on this one. Stay tuned, there's still more to come!

It is HOT today ! If you haven't heard from me for awhile, don't worry the Joe Web music scene is due to heat up too in less than two weeks. I've posted a link in the entry below so you can search my titles for the songs you love to hear. There's more to come as I am writing stuff every day. Punk fusion is the key to my music this season. I drifted away from poppy sounds three years ago and then gradualoly began to mix Punk with Motown again in a way that doesn't hamper my original intentions. Some people may not be used to this artistic intensity in me, they know the fun animated side. But there are many sides to me and my music. And soon you'll get to hear more.
Right now, the Popular Joe Cahill songs on Rhapsody are "Persian Flu" from "Lost Weekends" and "Angel" from "Reverberations".

On iTunes, the hit songs are "I'm In Too Deep" and "Biker Baby" and all seen titles from Kaleidoscope".

Hope you find your favorite songs there too. If you like any of these titles, shoot me an email and let me know.
I'm still doing my artist walks every day now. I walk five miles a day. When I lived in Belleville, I only walked two miles. So I guess I'm makin' progress.
I've added a link to Travelscope because it is one of my favorite shows. And it sparks my creative streak. I also watch Globetrekker. I saw on one episode that there was a Punk movement in Madrid. I'd love to hear that. Also like to hear Salt Lake City Punk. They're tearin down the walls over there.

I'm back again, after a long absence working offline. Today I want to share my web browsing at CDBaby, The Summer Music Surf. I found some Country Punk and Hindi Pop which I really enjoy. The hindi music is by
Sunil Gyan Varma and the Punk is courtesy of The Silent Boys. Real coof stuff. Of course, if you haven't heard MY music yet, you are more than welcome to surf my titles too.
Might as well plug me too, I'm an indie artist and don't have the soft plushresources of Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears.
Ayway,
Here is my link.

Le the music play.

Every morning, I wake up and jot down song lyrics in my journal. I also write out chords and harmonies in longhand prose. So wwhen I get to the studio, I remeber what the song is supposed to sound like. My secret pet writing project is helping me to fine tune my other works. I can't wait to share the new album with all of you. You've been great buying my stuff from iTunes and Rhapsody but maybe This fall you will get your wish. Ten new songs!!!

There's a party going on right herere, well in New York City on Friday the thirteenth.
John Carey launches the release of his newest album "Son Of The House"and I'm singing backup on four of my own compositions.
For more details go to John's website

In less than two weeks I go back into the Recording Studio to finish my album. I've been taking long walks to and from the library, I now walk five miles a day, and I'm working on a secret writing project. All will be revealed in the coming months. Hope you're enjoying your summer and fasten your seatblets for a Rockin' Fall.
When I'm not writing, I'm listenig to yoga on my CD player and cooking dinner. Sometimes I think this life in Southern Ocean County has creolized me somewhat. I'm not used to the sooo slow pace yet. But I'm learning to work with it.
I'm happy to be working on an album after two years of recording only Ep CDs. That's short for Extended Play. I like listening to Jazz, Country Punk and Hindi Pop. I totally dig fusion. And of course I totally dig being a Punk in my own way!!
That's how to Rick and Roll baby!!!

II've been away from the Site for a month. I'm working on a special project I think you will like.
In August, I finish the album and I have a film in the works.
Enjoy the holiday weekend and here are some cool links for you:

The project is a secret for now but all will be revealed soon.

Today I walked to the library again. There's still lots of construction going on and I have to get off the sidewalk and cut thru the grass. I've been watching all the concerts on the PBS Pledte drives: Joshua Bell & Friends, Chris Bode, Celtic Woman and many more. It's given me some ideas about my own show. Hopefully, when the record's done, I can book a concert here in Southern Ocean County and I have other creative projects on the burner as well.
But I have time to think it over while I'm Walking In This World.

Today, I'm taking inventory here at Joe Cahill Music. A newsletter email got lost in cyberspace and am updating my addressbook to include more fans. Below are link to fave songs.

As of this writing, it's hot as July outside. But you can cool down with some Rock music. Beat The Heat Today!

Today I walked to the library from my apartment; instead of calling a cab. It's a three mile walk from Atlantic Heights to Ocean County Library, bu I made it in an hour. I'm sitting at the large print PC Plus checking my emails and searching for music references. On the trail of Rock music work. Diane Sawyer says there's Light at the end of the Recession and I hope that means Light for me, too. It's been a long road with lots of bumps and a car accident along the way.
In the listening to music news, I've been hearing lots of Alternative Rock on the old myspace pages: some Austrailian Punk and some French Eurodance and at CDBaby, there's a new genre Avant Garde. Not to be confused with Politically Avant Garde!! Don't I wish.
This Avant Garde genre is a sort of Synth Pop light Rock. Verry trippy. More dance than Rock from what I hear.
The Trance Punk from FDown Under sounds similar to what I'm doing but only with more synth. It's got that Grunge Pop Rock mix along with electronica. If I added more synth maybe I'd sell more records, but it would ruin what I'm creating here. I have some synth pop influences, but Punk Rock is at the core and keepin' it together.
I like my focus, yeah, baby.

Kaleidoscpe is selling at iTunes and Rhapsody. Will have more links for you soon.

Today I was in the dark for an hourk then the electric came back on. Now, I'm on the Publicity trail. Watch the web for me.

This week i'm looking for a listing of A& R people because I want to get the new album signed to an indie label. Still updating my links page as well and searching for gigs for the fall. Hoping to get results in one week.
