After years of working on the road, and trying to get a record deal. I gave up and sold everything and built a small studio in my garage. Then I started recording music that I wanted to do, and not what a record company might be able to sell. I made CD's to give to friends and people who might be interested. One of my friends has a small indie label and wanted to put out some of my stuff. I didn't think much about it, so I told him to go ahead, telling that I wasn't going to stack 'em in my garage because I really don't have the room. Anyway to make a short story long, he put it out and through good reviews on Not Lame, Kool Kat, Power Popahollic, etc. they started selling. The CD is called Same Old Story and it's not only selling in the US, but Spain, France, and the UK. Without all the buzz on the internet they would be stacking up in some- one's garage. I think everyone's gonna have to figure out a different way to do business. Not only in the music business. but in all areas of work. Thanks for letting me take up so much space on your page. Also, that's a great Beatles pix. Thanks, Lannie I couldn’t agree with you more. After years of working on the road, and

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised if you heard some of our music. If you want to hear more about the Jim Basnight Band, Moberlys, Rockinghams, etc. please let me know and I'll send promos. The band's live show is really top notch right now and I'm hoping that you get a chance to see us live or on video. If you have any questions or need any more materials please get back to me. Best wishes, Jim www.jimbasnight.com myspace.com/jimbasnightandband Dear Hopelessly Pop,
