What is up with the new CD that shows on Amazon?
Is it all new material?

Thanks, Jim

Yes, it's Webb's new "studio" album. All new stuff!
Here's the link, for those who would like to check out the cover art etc: http://www.amazon.com/More-Like-Me-Webb-Wilder/dp/B001TW68RM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1237918969&sr=1-9
We'll be ordering it from the Swag Czar, over at the "Buy Stuff" tab.

I really like that cover art. It that some of the artistic talent of Tom Comet?

Hey, wait a minute, thats my face on the cover!!!!

I thought it mighta been Flodine's twin uncle, but you might be right, gonz

From what I gathered at 3&L, Mr. Comet (RULES!) is responsible for CD art.

Tom did the doin' of the art. He an' I palavered over it heartily a'fore that. Those items comprising the elements of said kiv ver ort all came from my personal E-fex. We WILL be offering the CD for sale as ssoon as we can. I have an e-mail into the label now to see if they're cool with taking advance orders. If Amazon is doin' it, why can't we? We probably can. Yes, it is all "new" material. None of these songs have ever been recorded or released by WW before. Five of them I wrote since the last album. The other seven are what I think to be some really cool songs by other folks, some of which I've been hankerin' to render on fer quite a spell. Okay! Progress! Stay tuned. THANKS! WW

how about a song list WW??? I want to see if any of the covers look familiar.

The songs are listed at Amazon. Don't Slander Me by Roky Erickson is included. Can't Wait!

Ah the chameleon song is called "Changing Colors." I can not wait for this to land in my CD drive.

Very cool cover! Cannot wait to pick it up in Nashville

For anybody who would like to see it "large as can be" it's now available on the Press Kit page.

Can't wait to hear "Ju Ju Man"!

Kind'of reminds me of an Oingo Boingo cover. :)


Cannot wait to place my order.

All the new songs I have heard are great.

I think we got about seven new ones in the last few shows.

More kudos to TC from me for the cover art. It sort of does remind one of Oingo Boingo or a hilarious spoof of a Grateful Dead cover. Definitely "Ju-Ju" oriented. I hope to buy this in person but will do whatever I need to in that regard.

Thanks to all for the positive comments on the cover; we're obviously very happy with it! Although I did the actual nuts and bolts work- the photography, image editing, typography, and layout, Webb ultimately deserves most of the credit for providing the concepts, the objects, and tons of aesthetic input at every stage of the process. Check out the Press Kit page and see the enlarged version while I go Google 'Oingo-Boingo' to see what y'all are talking about...

Great team effort guys. I think its the best CD cover yet!

Thank you, yer Spudness! WW

I dunno, Tater ... "The Beatles" was pretty avant garde ... wait a minute ... is that me talkin' ??

Did you mean to say that out loud Mr. Goober? Those Beatles come and go but Webb and the boys have definitely got the staying power over those Britishers!

well, I kindly meant the cover of the album "The Beatles," not the band "The Beatles" ... say, that's a coincidence ... you reckon them's the boys what put that album out?

by the way, I did mean to agree that is a fine piece o' drawin', Mr. Comet

Oingo Boingo was headed up by Danny Elfman. He now does a lot of film scores, especially for Tim Burton. He is also a big fan of Mexico's Day of The Dead hence all the sleletal influences.

And don't forget, Gong Show winners!

Good heavens, that's bizarre!

But, to borrow a phrase from Rufus at the end of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure".... "They do get better!" Well, Danny Elfman did, anyway.

Yeah, that video was from the days when they were known as The Mystic Knights Of The Oingo Boingo. They were more street performers at that time and hadn't yet become an actual band.

BTW, thanks for all the "props" and beyond, Tom. You took some of my ideas and made them great, not to mention the hours and hours of work, embellishing , encouraging, suggesting, what if-ing and maybe nots you provided all along the way.. Glad so many people like it. When we were kickin' ideas around and it started to come together, I told Tom,"Yeah, it's kind of like if Mad magazine had done the Grateful Dead's "American Beauty" cover! WW

Is mad magazine still published ?

Mad Magazine publishes its 500th issue in April of 2009.

Sadly, because of coporation cut backs, it will regress from a monthly to a quarterly publication after that issue.

For the record (or cd *snicker*) I like the cover.

Good work Tom and Webb. You might have a future in this here media business.

Sweet Cheeses! I've been wanting to see Oingo Boingo on The Gong show for 31 years! I had heard that they were on the show back before I had heard the band. I was a teenaged TV Guide geek, and I used to save TV Guides. The feature they had on the Gong Show mentioned them by name as if anyone outside of L.A. FREEKZ had ever heard of "The Oingo Boingo" in 1978! Two years later (or four years after this appearance) they became the Band and I wondered if I would ever see this. A Boingo fan I knew used to tape re-runs on USA Network daily in the hopes of catching this episode after I mentioned this appearance. Special thanks to NoGreatShakes for passing this along!

You're welcome Raydium. It's amazing what you can find on the net nowadays.
