Popular Demand!

Hey Soul Mates,
thanks for downloading our new song. It does my heart good to know that more than 50 of you have downloaded the single in the first 48 hours it's been available. Be sure to send your friends our way. The more the merrier. We've heard from many of you that it's your new favorite song. How humbling. Your appreciation is overwhelming.

And clearly... (smile) the response to the cover has been positive. I'm amused by some of the ladies who are on the cover lamenting their picture choices after seeing some of the other girls. No, no. You are all perfect.

Thanks for the feedback on the website as well. I'm really thrilled that you all are digging it. It took about 14 hours of solid work over the weekend to modify it. Especially when I hear that people think its an improvement and simply more elegant, I like that. You are worth it! The comments you are leaving for us on MySpace and Next Big Hit really boost our "presence." What a great way to start 2006.

We sent out an Evite, if you received it but haven't opened it yet, it's details about the release. Not an actual event, per se, but I like Evite. There is a poll on it asking what live version you'd like to hear next from us. Be sure to tell us. Hopefully, we'll be back in the studio in the Spring and get a few more tracks out to you. Better yet, we are still working on playing out of town... maybe yours.

Love, Power, Peace

Everything My Heart Desires

Hey Soul Mates,
the new website has launched, the single made its debut tonight and these are good things. Lots of relief and satisfaction getting all of this accomplished.

I need to thank several people. First, the Lady Soul Mates. Thanks for helping us out with the picture sleeve for the cybersingle. We were not even able to use all of the submissions. We hope that everyone will enjoy the cover. You all look great.


Second, a special thank you to DJ Copperhead who gave the single its world premiere on Next Big Hit. You can listen to the podcast and his introduction of the song, which is really cool.

Now, on to the single. Our early Valentine to you. Please visit our new-fangled website and download the single. All we ask is that you submit your e-mail address and you'll get access to the song. Once you've downloaded it, play it all the time. Wear it out. Put it on your MP3 player. Burn it to a CD. Enjoy it. We had fun performing it; we trust you'll like listening to it.

You'll have to forgive me, but its time to turn the website all the way on. Then turn in. It's been a long weekend putting all of this together. Let me know what you think of the updates. Tell us what you think of the song. There are several ways to do it: The Next Big Hit forum,
MySpace comments or simply post your review right here.

G'night.
Love, Power, Peace and Everything Your Heart Desires.

Done & Done

Hey Soul Mates,
the transformation of our website is complete. The artwork for our new single is finished. I really hope that you'll enjoy all of the changes and the updates. And especially our new song. It's our Valentine to you.

Don't forget to tune into Next Big Hit tomorrow night (Monday) at Midnight EST/9 PM PST for the World Premiere of Everything My Heart Desires. Oh, and to whet your appetites, here's a sneak peak of the back cover of the single. If only we could press to vinyl!



The front cover (with the Soul Mates) will go live with the rest of the website onTuesday, after Next Big Hit airs. Are you as excited as I am?
Love, Power, Peace

Clocking Out For The Night

Hey Soul Mates,
it's been a very long day of working at the offices here at Rush Hour Soul. The website upgrades have taken some time and a lot of energy. But I've made great strides in preparing for the relaunch of RHS.com. Most of the pages have been completed. New graphics are nearly complete. The music is almost ready. The bios are just about the last thing left to do. And the picture sleeve for the new single looks downright elegant. You all are so much prettier than us.

If you visit RHS.com right now, you'll get a glimpse of the fresh, elegant look we are donning for '06.

Like the man said:
Love, Power, Peace
