Yeah, it could almost pass as an s/cap from the WH video :wink: Thank you
for the heads up Laura; I'm sure we'll see more of ST in the near future
Hopefully peeps don't have my IE6 probs trying to check out her site :oops:
-
Ohh, I like her stuff.
I've dowloaded music from her site and will check it out in a minute! :)
edit: ok so I'm listening to it. It's good but she doesn't sound like Vanessa!
I'm interested in her songs though.

My God..
The voice is almost the same... That's incridible...
I'm impressed with her voice....
And she plays piano very well
She looks like Vanessa as well

Thank you for posting here Shannon :D I'm sure most of the peeps here are
excited about your future and are just as keen to share your talents with all
their NESSAholic™ pals. There are certainly plenty of Smart Pop fans here :wink:

Also I love your use of Papa's you warm me up with your so sweet demise in
your SIG on your Message Board; that VC is such an inspiration is really 8)

Oh I shall check her out then because Laura and I basically have the same music taste hehe :D
That was really nice of you to post here Shannon 8) can't wait to check out your music.
Do you do covers? Because if you do, perhaps you could check out Delta Goodrem's music if you like.
Take care

No, No.. Now I consider myself a big fan of her.. I've already downloaded all her songs and soon I'll buy her album... I'll buy in March.... and she's perfect and she sounds like Vanessa... She's very good.. I've been talking to her lately and she's nice... perfect... I love her now.
-
wOOt! Welcome to the board Shannon! Your music is pretty awesome. I LOOOOOVE Collide. :D
-
Hmm.. My vote goes to " Not below you " and " My Hell "
And I'm with the money to buy her album
I just need one helper or a translater to understand that weird words in the buy
-
haha I changed the title since some people didn't think she sounded like Vanessa. I'm glad everyone likes her tho, yay!
-
:) I'm so happy with the responses I'm getting here...you guys are the best! It's exciting to find people who are interested in my music.
The only covers I play currently are Vanessa songs. I do a sort-of "tribute" at shows, doing a medely of "Ordinary Day," "Twilight," and now I'm going to add "White Houses."

That is so cool! I wanna go to one of your shows now, haha any chance you'll be playing in So Cal? ;)
-
Hmm...never say never, but it doesn't look like I'll be playing in California any time soon. I'll probably be moving to New York City in a few months, so I'll be playing shows there as much as possible. I'm visiting for the first time in a month (and also seeing Vanessa-whoohoo!!), so if for some reason I don't like it there, I'll be thinking about moving to LA.
Nothing's set in stone. If I had my way, I'd be playing shows in every city in the world. I wish you could come see me! Come to Tulsa, lol. I'm playing here in a couple weeks!
:D
-
hey! 8)
ur song he hears promise sounds kinda like Missy Higgins - The Special Two
u can hear it at her website (http://www.missyhiggins.com/)
-
Missy <3
Id best check out that song then =)
-
if for some reason I don't like it there, I'll be thinking about moving to LA.
:D
A move west would certainly improve opportunities for global exposure :P
(http://www.boomspeed.com/deltagood/DGQuail.gif)
First priority here, is to get one of the NESSAholics™ to make you a SIG :wink:
-
I'm listening to "The Special Two" as I type. It's GORGEOUS! I think it's so much better than "He Hears Promise," lol. But I'm kinda hard on myself. I think the meaning of the lyrics are similar and that's pretty cool. I love the lyrics in the chorus of "The Special Two." Wow.
I'm gonna have to get out more of this Missy Higgins. Thanks for suggesting her. :D
-
Oh shes the love of mine and Scotty's life LOL.
Missy is truely one of the best singer/songwriters in Australia at the moment aswell as Delta (of course).
If you need anyone to send you her songs I could save them onto my computer and send them to you through email or something.
Id be more than happy too =)
-
I'd love for someone to send me a couple of Delta's songs...the reason I couldn't play them on my computer was 'cause I didn't have the right program or something. I'd simply install it if this was my computer, but it isn't. :? If I can play them on Windows Media, then I can hear them. And I'm SO intrigued! :D
-
I'm sure most of us could send you a couple, there are a lot of people around here who <3 Delta.
-
Yes we <3 Delta (notice my sig, hehe) I wish I could send you some songs but I don't know how :( I love Missys song Scar tho, that's my favorite.
-
U sound so cool, I :heart: Missy and Delta :!:
I could make you a sig if you would like? Anything in particular?
I'll upload some Delta songs for you when I get home from college. :D
-

Delta's Brisbane promotional appearance for AH is on Shannon's b-day :wink: I'm
not sure if any of us attending will be able to get Delta to sign anything other
than AH singles :? I'm hoping they have some 'promotional extras' at HMV :D

OK, I can be kinda dumb when it comes to stuff like this. I tried to upload my SIG, but it won't work...it says, "The avatar image file size must be less than 16 KB." I tried resizing it and it didn't work!!
8O Lol, I feel stupid. But I love how it looks, Scotty! Tell me how to fix it!

About the Shipping & Handling; is the US$7 the same for international orders? :?

About the Shipping & Handling; is the US$7 the same for international orders? :?
I think, when I bought her Album, I paid 17... 51 reais here in Brazil. A little expensive but I'm sure I'll love it
-
I talked to Eve (at Aromatone Records) about the $7.00 S&H 'cause I think it's too expensive too...and she said it's $7.00 BECAUSE of international purchases. (Because it costs so much to send things internationally.) So.......I'm thinking about dsitributing the cds myself and not charging quite as much. If indeed it really is that expensive to ship it out internationally, it might not be brought down a lot. But we'll see. I'll do my best! I just want as many people to get the album as possible! :D
-
Thats a really funky cd cover you have :D
I love the pink....
-
Thanks, I like my cd cover. I think it's pretty darn nifty. lol :D You guys should see the back cover--I love it!!

Would you prefer a copy of Mistaken Identity instead of a single? You get to
send a copy of your CD in return & find out about international S&H costs 8)

Sure, that sounds fair. :) Give me your mailing address and I'll send you mine via PM.
Thanks!!
-
Aaarggghhh.... The week is passing so slow only because I'm waiting the album..... And I hope it doesn't take 5 weeks like/as ( read the correct ) Harmonium took...
Everyday I check the mail and nothing :?
I think that next week " The something I believe in " will be in my hands
" You say you don't need me
I never cross your mind
You say you're doing fine
I know that that's a lie "
Bla bla bla........ I love to sing it

She's beautiful and not normal
-
What the hell...
-
There's no hell

she does sound similar, but Ill take V over her anyday!
She's just lacking something...can't really put my finger on it.

I can hear you, ya know.
If you put your finger on it, let me know what it is.

Haha wow...
Yeah let me know to, cuz I think Shannon is awesome.

I think peeps here forget just how much production of a record influences
the sound of the recording. You have that raw edge to your music - which
hasn't been tampered with in the recording studio - not least in A&M style
(http://www.sonymusic.com.au/au/images/myhomepage/myphoto/cadenus.jpg)
Soon enough some peeps here will be posting with Shannon Thomas Sigs!
-
Awww! You guys are so sweet. Thanks for sticking up for me. :)
I KNOW Vanessa is on a completely different level than me...I might sound similar due to the fact that she's my biggest influence, however, I realize how much of a gift she has. I'm still a beginner. I took piano lessons for years, but didn't start writing my own stuff until about a year and a half ago. Right now I can only hope that someday I'll be able to write a song as magical and special as every single Vanessa Carlton tune.
And production helps a LOT, it's true. My music is definitely frickin' raw right now, lol. I've run into tons of recording trouble and haven't been happy with anything so far. I think I sound so much better live. What makes Vanessa so wonderful is that her raw music is still so incredible, whether it's live or recorded.
I know I've got a lot of work to do...but if only you could see the progress I've made so far! I'm getting better--and for me, that's what counts.
:D
-
Very Awesome! :-)
-
p.s. for the record, that CRAZY photo shoot was just for fun. A one-time thing. It's so not me!! I'm not "normal," but i'm normal-looking. hehe
-
I was like who is that when Afterglow posted that pic. haha I was confused but that's cool.
I'm planning on buying your album soon! I am becoming so hooked on your music.
-
YIPPEE!!
Thanks, Laura!
Yeah, that pic is pretty freakin' hilarious. You can see more of that photo shoot if you'd like: http://public.fotki.com/ckfoto/shannon_thomas/fusion_feb_26/
I've never dressed like that before in my life. It was really fun!
There's normal pictures of me on my website :D
-
Hey Shannon, it's possible to record MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE again but... hmm how can I say? Because it's too short, it's just 2 minutes and some seconds.. And this song is perfect and you could make it with 4 minutes.... well, I think you got to it.. and sorry my English
-
Hmmmm....make it longer? I've thought about that. But I kinda like it the way it is. I could add another chorus at the end. Next time it gets recorded, I'll try that. 'Cause it probably will get recorded again. :wink:
p.s. a brand new recording of "Not Below You" is coming soooooon. Full instrumental!!
-
she does sound similar, but Ill take V over her anyday!

that was mean. :icky:
It wasn't meant to be mean, thats just how I feel about Shannon Thomas.
-
Manda, some constructive criticism would be nice. I'd really like to know what you think I could do to improve.

Your potential has certainly been recognised by fans here and I'm sure the
inspiration of meeting VC in NY will open a world of possibilities for you *hug*

-
well I'm impressed. your vocals need some polish but everything else is very good.
I really liked Don't be beautiful and More than meets the eye.
I'm gonna check out some more of your music right now. keep up the (very) good work.

I sent Delta a pair of the Cell Phone Chips at that url for her 20th birthday

She's only 20?! That's insane. I do not look 3 years older than her!!

Nicee... I'm so crazy to hear it... Tell me when it comes out
-
Sorry about the lack of updates. Things have been terribly busy. But good news -- The Something I Believe In Compact Disc S/H fees have gone down from 7.00 to only 3.00 in the USA and to 6.00 outside of the USA. So purchase the CD while it's still in stock. There are only about 50 copies left.
I felt so happy when I read it because
It means that THE SOMETHING I BELIEVE IN will be in the future a rare album and I'll be the only Brazilian to have it...

Yay, Shannon I just ordered your album :D Do you know how long the cd will take to get here?
-
Whoo-hoo! I'm excited. Hehe, I say that a lot around here...
I'm LOVIN' the sigs, Scotty. They're great for promotion!
Laura, thanks for ordering the cd...it shouldn't take too long. You should def. get it before the end of the week.
:D
-
lol, I think it's so funny that I have a sig of myself. What a dork!!
-
Woohoo! Love the new sigs.

I just registered at your forum :)

Thanks, Laura!

Never was and never will be your blame
The blame is this fucking Country
And I still have to wait more 3 weeks to start to worry
Because when I bought HARMONIUM, it took 5 weeks and 3 day to get here...
-
I'm LOVIN' the sigs, Scotty. They're great for promotion!
The truth is I asked Scott to re-saturate this image from your site with a lighter blue :P
(http://www.shannonthomas.net/images/gallery/gate.jpg)
and once he started he just couldn't stop :D Maybe it was my remark to him on MSN :wink:
I'll have to do the best with what I have access to. I'm sure she'll appreciate the effort though.
She's such a lovely girl and deserves our support (She sent me a copy of her CD already) 8)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v163/skotto/st.png)
You have 100% support here; please be ok about your self-promoting SIG :wink:
-
I DO appreciate the effort. Very much so! :wink:
-
I finally got your album in the mail today, & it's awesome. I love every song on it :)
-
I WANT MINE, I WANT MINE
I'm crying, I can't get to wait... I think I'll die
-
100th reply, w00t.
-
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
lol, I think it's so funny that I have a sig of myself.
I just finished the one I've been working on; now to get it hosted ASAP :wink:
-
I can't wait to see the new SIG w/ my autograph on it!
(http://www.boomspeed.com/deltagood/st_sig01.jpg)
I edited the signature mask because of the variation in background (sleeve)
color and it seems to have survived conversion to JPG format if less defined
; REVELATIONS also lost definition but I reduced the file size to just 26Kb 8)
-
I'm kinda of ashamed to admit I haven't listened to you until now. :oops:
But you are f-ing amazing. 8O
-
Yay! I'm getting so excited about the new sigs of me--it's a strange sight to see, let me tell ya, but it's so awesome!
I got to meet Vanessa last night @ her Clifton Park show. (I won a meet and greet on ebay.) I'm more inspired than ever!! She's so frickin' incredible. There just are no words. Anyway, head on over to the "Live Shows" section and look at the Clifton Park (review) thread to see the pictures my boyfriend took, including the one of me w/ Vanessa!! :D
I'm on the highest high right now.
-
That's so cool! Plus your musics great, I was lucky enough to be pointed in your direction and as far as pointing goes, it was a good piece of pointing :razz:
I'm from England, how can i get ur c.d!

I'm hoping it lasts a while yet... The NESSAussies have waited so long I fear
its going to be over too soon when she finally tours here; I so can't wait :D
-
Aaron, I wanted to tell you I got the Delta cd that you sent and I like it a lot! Her voice is insanely good. Thanks for giving me a signed copy--that's so awesome! I couldn't read everything she wrote, though. "Sing from the...?" Hmmm...I just cannot tell what word she put there! lol

Thanks for the compliment! You can get my cd online: www.shannonthomas.net :D
-
I'd better be quick all the shipping seems a little much, i'm sure it's worth it though!
-
I tried to bring the price down, but it really does cost that much to ship it out overseas. I'm sorry! :(
-
Hey that's alright! It's hardly ur fault! Dumb ships! Will I have to order like super soon cos it says there's 50 left?
-
Nah, not SUPER-soon. But probably soon. hehe

'Happy 23rd Birthday' Shannon :D Delta signed your Deluxe Edition of MI
today and took time to complete my request for choice words of wisdom;
you'll have to excuse the legibility (Delta had been signing CDs >2 hours)
"Sing from the heart" :wink: After signing autographs non-stop Delta's hand
was in a world of RSI pain :cry: At the time I thought it easier to draw a :heart:
I'll post it Monday morning and it should reach you in another 8 days *hug*
Thank you for giving me a signed copy 8) Just one querry though... did the
CD arrive on the 23rd? I'd like to be able to quote the # of days it took for

You all make me cry... Until today the album didn't get to my house
I'm waiting like crazy... I'm crazy to hear the songs and to put one of the songs on the BRAZILIAN RADIOS..
Yeah, it's possible, I only have to pay 10 reais and they play the song for one week
But I can't do it because the fucking mail didn't bring the album for me

Man, it really sucks that it's taking so long. Now I'm scared that after all this waiting you're gonna be totally disappointed when you get it! lol
It would be soooooooooo cool if you got one of my songs on Brazilian radio! Wow.

honestly, murilo is the only person who knows that radio station lol
where I live radio stations would ask for at least a thousand bucks to play anything haha

lol yeah, 10 reais for a song? for a week? he really must be the only listener of that station, haha.
-
Oh well. It was a nice thought...while it lasted. :(

In this radio, they play normal songs. and if you wanna say a new, it's for free.. but if you want a song that you think it'd never be at Radios, you can pay 10 reais..
I paid days ago to play ANNIE and last year " Rinse ".. Rinse was almost a hit...

I road tested The Something I believe In as a 'Driving CD' whilst en route to
visiting my brother 109 miles away; It ROCKS! A cautionary note though; if
you don't wish to reach for the Kleenex first up, don't start with track 7 :cry:
The road to goodbye
Isn't one I want to take
But I have to try
'Cause I've lost my way today

-
Indeed, "The Road to Goodbye" is sorta depressing. That's its point. :D The first time I played it for my best friend, Caitlin, she cried like a baby. LOL.
I'm really proud of that song. I mean, it's totally simple, but I like some of the lyrics a lot. I used the theme of traveling throughout the entire thing and it seems to have worked nicely.
And it's sooooo fun to sing! I played it live for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was cool. :)
-
After I saw Aarons post this morning before leaving to go to college I decided to listen to the cd in the car on the way there to. It's definitely a driving cd. And I loved listening to The Road To Goodbye in the car. I don't know why, I just did.
Oh & Shannon, on a totally different subject I've been meaning to ask. Do you have sheet music for your songs? I don't know how hard they are to play but I wanted to give it a try, lol.
-
No...no sheet music for my songs. Most of them are pretty easy though, so I can tell you what key they're in or the chords I'm using and I bet you could figure them out from there. :wink:
-

Yeah can you tell me some of the chords and they key of "Collide"? Since there's no sheet music? Pwease? :D
-
It's kinda tricky to try to explain all this, esp. the bridge. So I'm holding off on the bridge until you guys learn what's here. You'll have to figure out the riffs yourself, but this will at least give you a starting off point. I hope it helps!! I think it's awesome that you want to learn my song(s)!
OK. So "Collide" goes something like this...
Key of D.
Chords:
verses: D (D,F#,A)/ A (C#,E,A)/ (B,D,F#)/ (B,C#,E)
chorus: right hand--G (G,B,D)/ (F#,A,D)/ Em (E,G,B)/ G (G,B,D)
left hand--(octaves) B........D...........E.............G
:? I hope I didn't just make it more difficult than it already was! lol
-
My piano teacher showed me how to play the verse of "Collide" :D
-
Coolness! :D I wanna hear! lol
-
I hope it helps!! I think it's awesome that you want to learn my song(s)!
That notation is what most of the peeps here use to figure out NESSAnotes
so I'm sure Chloe is happy with it :wink: I have some of your tunes stuck inside
my head by now (a Private Radio) so I won't miss your CD as desperately :D
(http://www.boomspeed.com/deltagood/st_sig01.jpg)
-
Oh thanks Shannon! That doesn't look too hard. I'm gonna try it tomorrow if I have time. Can't wait!
Would you mind doing the same thing for Don't Be Beautiful? That's one of my fave songs :D

I'm still waiting the album but that's OKAY..
I heard " A road to goodbye " and fell in love with it..
It's a nice song.. And my mother said " Oh, I've never heard this song before, it's a new Vanessa Song "
My mother loves Vanessa, though she doesn't understand English, she loves her.. and She always thought that " MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE " was Vanessa.... ahhaah...
And I said " No, mom.. she's Shannon THomas another perfect singer as Vanessa "...
Now she likes you and she's already nervous with me because of the album that doesn't get to us... Now she wants it more than never
And " I guess that you were thinking of THE CALLING when you played COLLIDE.. DOn't know why, I can be wrong, but the start/beginning of the song reminds me THE CALLING
Another thing....... Choose one song to be played at the radios... Choose what you wanted to be played...
-
:roll: Speaking of radios... that Private Radio I mentioned before has been
playing The Something I Believe In all week; its like having an i-pod :lol: I
find it incredible; I only had my 1st copy of Shannon's CD for a fortnight

if I'd played it like BNN. Something I thought only VC was capable of :o

Oooh, a new version! I really liked the old version, this not as much. The electric guitar sounded a little messy and everything didn't blend together as perfectly as the original. It's good though, don't get me wrong. I like the drums on this one better.
Just curious, but what is the highest note that you can hit? I'm gonna guess C, but I'm not sure.
-
Aw, man. I'm having the hardest time getting good recordings! :( I thought this one was way better than the first one!

p.s. I don't know the highest note I can hit. It's probably not very high, lol.

You're brilliant Shannon, How much will it cost to ship youre album to Sweden? I will recomend you to all my friends! Come to Sweden sometime. it would rock!
Peace - Micke
-
Thanks so much! :D
My cd would cost you $16--$10 for the disc, $6 for S&H. It's kinda expensive to ship overseas. :?
I'd LOVE to come to Sweden! I'm totally obsessed w/ Europe--I want to travel all around...hopefully sooner rather than later. :wink:
Thank you for your support :!: :!:

p.s. I like your sig.

YUPIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Finally the mail felt sorry for me and decided to bring my album...
I got it now... I'm still listenning and I'm adoring/loving/liking it very much.....
And I've decided to put " NOT BELOW YOU " at the radios.....
I'm without words.. It's so nice the album.....
Thanks Shannon, and now more than never, I love you so much...
-
Yay! You finally got it!!!! :D
I hope you enjoy! Sounds like you are so far....
-
That's not expensive. Here in sweden an album cost like 170 kr (25 usd). It's sick that it's cheaper to order from the states then go and buy a album in the stores:P
I will order it tommorrow. And im a 100% shore i will love it.
Any chance to get the album signed when i order?:P

I was hoping you'd choose C :D The b-side that lends its name to Delta's tour
here in July is also one of the most inspirational recordings she's made so far!

are you SURE thats not you? :razz:

I'm POSITIVE. lol :lol:

I see that there's 2 or 3 new lyrics in your site
When will we listen to it? Or it's just lyrics?
Nice lyrics
-
Hmmm...what lyrics are you referring to? I haven't updated that in awhile.
As far as hearing new songs goes, it might be awhile. :? It's hard to say. I'm working on a lot of new stuff, though, so I'll keep you posted. :wink:
-
Sacred
Invisible life
Intruder
Missing out
I don't know if they're news, but I'd love to hear them
-
"Missing Out" is new. The others, not so much. I've only played "Sacred" live once--it's a little strange...and "Invisible Life" was one of the first songs I wrote and you'd be able to tell if you heard it. lol. But I love the lyrics, so that's why they're up there. I don't know if I'll ever play it live or record it. We'll see. I change my mind all the time. :?
That reminds me, I need to put up at least 3 more songs on the lyric page: "Never Too Much" (my stalker song), "Quite Alone," and another new one I just finished called "Catastrophic."
Maybe I'll do some shitty recordings of them and just send them personally to those of you who really want to hear 'em. :wink:

Yeah, I was gonna say "Rinse," but you got there first. haha
NEVER TOO MUCH
Why do they say
It's not a beautiful thing
How can you walk away from me
Do I see too much
Are you afraid of what I know
Afraid that I photograph your soul
When will you lighten up
'Cause love is never too much
I might be outside your window
Is that not okay
Just wanted to say hello
Why does that scare you away
Are you afraid of what I know
Afraid that I am taking notes
When will you loosen up
I just want to touch you
Why do you say
It's not a beautiful thing
Do you not see
That compared to me nobody else will ever care
Are you afraid of what I know
Afraid that I'm some kind of foe
When will you realize
I'm no one to fear
And when will you loosen up
I just want to touch you
When will you lighten up
'Cause love is never too much
Love's never too much

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

Sarah MacLachlan - Witness
Vent - Stalker Song

I just checked her out liked her music. She is playing about 4 hours away soon but I will be out of town. If she is from Tulsa I'm sure I will be able to see her sometime soon.
-
I think of NOT BELOW YOU
-
I can see that. "Not Below You" is a song about obsession and, in a way, that's pretty stalkerish.
Alecs: You should def. come see me play sometime!
-
How soon do I need to order the album?
Sucky student finances!
-
Hard to say...I don't know how many copies I have left. It's safe to wait awhile longer, though. I'll let you know when I'm down to my last few. :wink:
-
Oh that would be so great of you! Thanks that makes things way easier!
-
Thanks for the chords for Collide. :D It gave me some more inspiration (I'm the person who was inspired by you and other artists to write music ;)) so now I have to go try and think of chords that go with this other motive I've had made up for a long time.

OK...the Friday gig went PERFECT!!!! It was awesome--by far the largest crowd I've played for so far and it happend to be my best performance, too! :D It was soooo much fun...the crowd went crazy for me, I got tons of compliments, sold 5 cds, met a big-time manager who loved my set and asked for a cd, etc. I know I sound like I'm bragging, but you asked for it! lol :lol: It went very well--I was so excited!
I wish you guys could see me live. It's so much better than the shitty recordings I have right now. I'm probably going to put a video clip from the show up on my site pretty soon, so you should check it out!

Same 'ole, same 'ole. Getting ready to start recording again...making demos for the big boys.
What's new with you?

I'm listening to the new version of "not below you" the original is better. Like the live version of "twilight" and the album version. the original is always better...sometimes."rose colored shades" is cool.

I'm kinda shocked that people don't like the 2nd version of "not below you"...personally that's the one I think is better. But that's just me.
Aaron, I re-recorded the song. Nobody covered it. At least...I don't think so. lol :wink:

So by Twilight, notagirl (http://tp://forums.nessaholics.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=603) meant Sleepless Dream rather than a VC cover of your's :?
-
I'm sooooooooooo confused. Nobody said anything about "Sleepless Dream."
All he meant was the original version of "Twilight" (by Vanessa) is better than other versions (by Vanessa). I mean, I THINK that's what he meant. :lol:
-

Yes, that's all I meant. Sometimes simple is better. Just you and the piano. No drums, harps, strings, etc. Why mess with a good thing.
-
Cool, I know what you mean. I like to experiement with different instruments, but at the same time it's annoying when you can't hear the piano parts you worked so hard on! :roll:
-
I love your songs the way you do them.....
It's so nice to hear them.... you're very brainy...
-
And I loveeeeeeeeddddddddd the RCS new version....
Very cool and it could be a single...
And I was out of internet because my fucking PC broken and now I need to come to a LANHOUSE and pay to use... and I got to put your song for one week in the radio.. I did choose " NOT BELOW YOU "
And now I will want to put RCS new version, it's so cool and so good
Gongratulations
I really loved it
Do one of this version with NOT BELOW YOU or with the other songs, they're really cool.....
-
Muchas gracias, my dear!
-
Yes, that's all I meant. Sometimes simple is better. Just you and the piano. No drums, harps, strings, etc. Why mess with a good thing.
So about a live cover of Twilight :wink: is there such a thing available anywhere?
-
I have video of me doing a cover of "Twilight" at a show last month...it's just a matter of getting up on my website so people can see it! Hmmm...maybe I'll work on that today. I need to talk my boyfriend into helping me. :lol:
:idea: I will try to get it up ASAP. :wink:

I'm really crazy

OK, I know there's hardly any Nessaholics in the Oklahoma area, but I thought it couldn't hurt to announce that I get to play a showcase at the 2005 Diversafest conference! 3 days, 9 stages, 96 bands...I'm so excited!
:D
-
That's awesome! :D :thumbsup:
-
I'm so excited too.....
If I were rich, not a student and independent.. I would take my money to see you but I'm not over 18, I don't have my own money and I'm a student and I need to go to school...
it hurts me so
Congs to you
-

I wish you could be there, too! You've been so supportive. :( Someday you'll get to see me play live...I'm almost sure of it. :wink:
-
Be sure, only 3 years for me to be 18, so I will do everything that I wanted to do............
So, I'll see you live,
And this someday, the end of the concert, don't go away before leaving your name in my copies of your albums
-
Wish I could come, if only it weren't so far away!
-
Thanks anyway, Gina! I know you would. :wink: Did you know I'm planning on moving to NYC? The plans keep getting pushed back...but one day it'll finally happen. :D
-
Well let me know when you do! And I'll take a trip to see you play! :D
-
New york is the place of the fame
If you want it, move to NY

Nobody's voting for me in this damned contest! There's no way I'm making it past round 2. :cry: I'm just going to feel sorry for myself now. lol.
-
Hey now! There's no reason for that! :razz: Seems like the biggest problem for most of the people in the contest is the luck-of-the-draw competition they're thrown in. You have to admit, Dido is a pretty strong contender. In single-elimination, an entrant that could easily defeat everyone but the #1 record-holder can lose out in the first round if they happen to be playing #1. What I really want to know is who compiled the seeding for this tournament. :?
-
Well, I didn't expect to beat Dido, but you're right--I think I could beat some of the other musicians that'll end up making it to round 3 just 'cause of the luck of the draw. But it's really no big deal. Some awesome artists got kicked out in the FIRST round, so that's just how it goes.
Oh well! :)
-
What I really want to know is who compiled the seeding for this tournament. :?
"The bands in the tournament were seperated into a top 32 (1-8 seeds) and bottom 32 (9-16 seeds). The top 32 bands/artists all had at least 100 replies to their respective threads, or are popular/board favorite artists who very well could have 100 posts eventually. The bottom 32 were chosen by overall thread popularity, notoriety, and general relation to the board. All seeding except for the #1 seeds (chosen on the basis of most replies to their respective threads) were assigned by a random drawing."
You obviously didn't read the thread! :razz: :spank:

How did I get way down here? I'm sad! :(
BUMP! For Christ's sake.
:lol:
-
I didn't want to double post :oops:
-
lol...okay, so you have an excuse (sort-of), but what about everyone else? haha, just kidding. :)
-
Sorry college has been keeping me busy, just haven't had much time to post in here. But at least I posted on your myspace, hehe :)
-
Wow you're playing 2 shows on the same day in 4 days! good luck!
-
Yeah, if I can pull it off...it's going to be insane! 8O :D
-
Hehe good luck! How far are they apart?
-
Well, they're technically @ the same time. lol. So when I'm finished with my set @ Diversafest, I need to pack up and get over to the other show ASAP. It's going to stress me out, I'm sure. But it's worth it! :D
-
I haven't been online much lately, so that's my excuse, but I'd love to let you know I was listening to you yesterday as I was getting ready to go to Libertyland, and I think I'm really beginning to like you and I'm becoming really eager to hear your newer recordings...
AND, if you ever happen to be playing anywhere near MEMPHIS, please please let me know so I pull the necessary strings to get there! :D
-
I listened to some of your stuff from your site, and I think you sound very good (and unique) alittle like Vanessa, but still very much different. Which is cool, good luck on your shows! Peace!
-
She tells me that she is working on new recordings that, as I gather, really blow the crap out of her older recordings. I'm looking forward to hearing them.
Hey! I just got that stuff today! Oh thanks a lot! I haven't had a chance to examine it yet, but I will keep it with me here until I do.
-
Thanks guys!
Dustin, I really hope you enjoy the cds--as much as possible. :wink:
-
I'm actually listening to them right now, copying them into the Shannon Thomas folder in My Music. 8) I'll be sure to tell others!
-
Yay! Yes, PLEASE help spread the word. :D I greatly appreciate it.
-
Hi love of my life..... I miss you.. you've been so out... or it's me that have been out... hmm.. okay, it just doesn't matter..
I've dreamt of you days ago, It was kind of, I was in a concert of yours, and you didn't want to pay attention at me, I was angry because I wanted you to sign my copy, it was weird.. but that's OKay
-
lol, that's funny! Well, I wouldn't do that in real life. :wink:
-
I hope, I just hope
Because, the only Brazilian Band that I'm really a fan (CPM22), I was in their concert, then I asked them to sign the copies and they just didn't care... it hurt me a lot, I never thought they'd be able to do it.. but they did..... I will keep being their fan, but not that way I used to be
Hey, I lost the link of the new version of " RCS ", could you post it again, I really miss it
-

I'm sorry that band blew you off. Hopefully they had a good excuse... :(
Here is the link to RCS: www.myspace.com/shannonthomas
Actually, I don't have it up to download, but that's where you can hear it. :)
-
Thanks........................................... a lot

Kevin and I were discussing your CD tonight. Hopefully we will get a review up on AB (http://www.albumbuzz.com) soon. :).
-
Eh...no rush. Seriously. There's too many bad things to say about it! I've been seriously considering not selling it anymore. :?
-

What?? I LOVE your cd, don't say that. It's amazing! One of my favorites actually.

I told you I'd send you a copy for free, didn't I? :wink:
Ok, here's the deal. I wrote this thing out a couple weeks ago to post on my website....but it's taken longer than I expected to get it posted. It explains everything:
----------------------------------------
"After MUCH consideration, I've decided to basically stop selling my cd. It's a long story, but here's the jist: I wasn't ready to record an album when I made this cd. It was my first attempt at recording and I did a lot of it myself (actually ALL of the music, which, in my opinion, turned out great--until I took it somewhere to finish and ran into some major problems)*. Anyway, I knew the recordings turned out kinda bad, but it was no big deal (to me) because I did it all for so cheap. The decision to release it as an "album" was stupid, but I did it 'cause I wanted SOMEthing to hand out at shows, something people could hang on to so they would remember me. I spent a lot of money on the cd art and duplication, which was a HUGE mistake! I was just getting ahead of myself...what bothers me NOW (more than anything) when I think of "The Something I Believe In" is how much I hate the vocals! I have improved so much over the past year, so those recordings of my voice are pretty embarrassing. SO. The bottom line is I don't want to sell a cd I'm not proud of. I don't want to have to apologize about the quality of it. I don't want people to think this is the best I can do. Because it isn't--believe me! (Check out www.myspace.com/shannonthomas and listen to the new version of "Not Below You." You'll see what I mean. I've already made some progress!) If you would like a copy of "The Something I Believe In," I will not charge you as of NOW. You can email me (CHERIO4444@aol.com) if you want to request a cd (for a souvenir or something since there's just 100 copies in this world, haha). Hopefully you will hear some potential in the album--that is all I ask. Remember those were the first songs I ever wrote! If you've already purchased it and you're thinking, "Hey! That's not fair!" let me know how I can make it up to you. I can send you a disc of some newer, better songs if you'd like. We can work it out. I want to build a solid fan base. I just don't think that selling this cd is the way to go about it. Please give me your feedback! Your thoughts and opinions really matter to me. Thanks!
*Shannon*
*The problems I'm referring to did not occur @ Aromatone Records. ;o) They did their job just fine!"
-----------------------------------------
So, anyway, I hate my vocals so much on those recordings that I can barely listen to it w/o throwing myself off a bridge. (Sorry if I'm being overdramatic, but I'm just trying to make my point.) I'm very proud of the songs that are on there, though. I still play several of them at shows. I just don't know what to do about it...except record some new stuff and make a new, awesome album. And this time I will do it RIGHT!
-

I'm sooooooooooo glad to hear that! Believe me. I hope you understand why I'm making this decision...it's not easy. :?
-
welllllllllllllllll....I don't own the album, but I would like to say...
You made it, it's your art, you can do what you want. However, as you get older, and your art matures, fans want to see your progression and how you evolve. I would say most artists feel like you do when they look back on their older work...but that marks a period of your life...where you were at. It reflects where you were at developing yourself, and, when you look back, you will see how you have grown.
Anywho, the best of luck to you, no matter what you decide!
-
Thanks for explaining. When you first said what you said, it made me go 8O.
As a listener, I could definitely hear your potential when I listened to the CD. Finding artists with potential is something that definitely intrigues me, especially with indie music. I always try to gauge whether it seems like an artist has career potential or not. If it doesn't jump out to me that they do, other than checking out their music I usually won't make much of an effort to promote them, etc.
As a fan, and as you get new fans, it would be nice for them to have the CD, kind of how we all geek for the VC demo tapes even though we know her vocals weren't great on those at all.
And from the newer versions of the songs, I definitely noticed that your vocals have progressed nicely.
I think it would be cool if you put together a disc of the newer songs and sent it to peeps who wanted it. I'd take one :wink:.
Overall though, people who like you will support you through anything, and will accentuate the positives of the music in the face of the negatives.
-
Aww I'm still sad cuz I really love this album, but I can see why you made your decision. It makes sense.
I think it would be cool if you put together a disc of the newer songs and sent it to peeps who wanted it. I'd take one :wink:.
Me to :) Except can I get an autographed one? hehe I was gonna ask when I got your cd but I didn't think of it till after I got it. You know, just incase you become famous one day :wink:
-
I was listening to joseph arthurs redemption's son and your new track came on my space with the same lyric i was like what the! and once again I was like who's this! Hehe can't wait to hear more you have wonderful potential so keep going
-
Check your pms, Laura and B. :wink:
For anyone else interested in getting your hands on a copy of my not-so-pefect recordings, PM me your address. I've decided I'm just going to charge $2 for US citizens and $5 for everyone else--and ONLY if you're getting the album. It'll cover most of the S&H fees. If you're just getting the bonus disc 'cause you already have the album, don't worry about it. I'm just making sure I don't LOSE money because of this.
:wink:
-
Hey I pm'd you over at your site :D
-
Thanks so much Shannon! I replied back to your pm :)
-
Hey, I'm so sorry about it all...... You know, I'm a big fan of you, and I love you so much the same way I love Vanessa... you're perfect...... and I totally disagree with you about what you said.. ok, it's your opinion......

Well since I dont actually have the CD in hand yet I dont know if I would call myself a "fan" but I like a lot of indie music and support artists I see potential in. I think in time she could be amazing.
Just like Brian said, this is kind of like the Vanessa demo tape stage, a few more years we may have something equivilant of Be Not Nobody in hand.

YAY! See? I told you so. My recordings have improved a LOT!! And the extra good news is I'm planning on doing much more recording in the very near future...and with several people who really know what they're doing and want to help me out. :D :!: :!: :!: :!:
Awesome! Keep us informed with all of that! :D

Woot, can't wait to hear that!!
*still waiting for his bonus cd* (damn international shipping! lol)

For me, took only 8 days.......... don't know why
When I buy something from United States, it usually takes 5 weeks...
But Shannon was right
Collide and Don't be beautiful are better now.. Not below you and Rose colored shades are great too
I'm gonna try to play NOT BELOW YOU (new version) at the radios again... don't know if I can do it.... but I'll try
-
Awesome! Keep us informed with all of that! :D
Will do!

Trying to convince my mother that I like your CD enough to buy. Good luck on these two upcoming shows! :D

I just listened to some of the tracks on your website and they are REALLY GOOD! I don't think you sound like Vanessa, you have your own unique voice and sound,but you can tell she is an influence. You also sound a little like Jessica Harp, but obviously with piano instead of guitar... Anyway, keep up the good work, you'll go far!

Thanks so much! :D I agree: I don't think I sound like Vanessa either, but in some of my songs you can really hear her influence.
You just made my day!

Well....I don't know. I'm not that big of a Delta fan, ya know? I think it's a cute poster, but I really have no need for it. I'm sorry. :? She's good, though, don't get me wrong.

Now I'm wishing I'd been able to stay back after the show and get it signed :wink:

Don't be too alarmed by the US$44 price at that site 8O The value of the CD
singles in the 3-Pack is only US$20.35. What is more significant is the value
of inspiration to a recording artist, who's success is just a matter of time :wink:

'Cause he was pissing everybody but me off.

OooO I see. :razz: Never really payed attention to her
-
To be fair I doubt I was the only person who recieved abusive messages from them... At least i'd like to think I wasn't or I might get a complex!
-
You all can thank me later, haha. I sent in a complaint about what was below his sig & that was the 3rd strike for him.
Finally.
-
why was he/she banned?
Blatant racism. Excessive profanity. Harassment. Being incomprehensible. Continuing to do something after he was told to stop.
It was more for a continued pattern of behavior than any one event. When we warned him that he was a bad boy and was close to being banned, he more or less told us, "screw you."

Just a little update on my *budding* music career... :wink:
I'm currently working with a popular local guitarist, who's helping me put a temporary band together (for playing shows) and also wants to produce my next album. We are choosing songs, writing more, and getting them ready 'cause the plan is to go into the studio in about a month to begin recording. Since I'm going full-out with this new album--with drums, bass, guitar, the works!--some of the songs from "The Something I Believe In" will be re-recorded and featured on this disc. So far it looks like "Not Below You," "Rose Colored Shades," & "Don't Be Beautiful" will make the cut. Other tracks will include "Collide," and new tunes like "Edward, "Asleep," & "Jaded." I know you guys don't know those songs...but you WILL!
I'm so excited! :D
-
That's awesome!
I will definitely look forward to hearing that. :wink:

No, but I'm still working with him, too. This other guy is WAY more popular here, although Connor has had a different kind of success. The new guy, A.J. is a better guitarist. He's a decade older than Connor and just way more experienced, but they're both great songwriters and performers.
:D I'm a lucky gal!

The guitarist is producing my upcoming album--he's awesome. He's also going to play on the recordings. I went to high school with the drummer and he's going to play on the album too. A.J.'s a great songwriter...he wrote the song on their myspace page, "Winnin'," as well as most of the songs the band played with their former singer: http://www.myspace.com/fridgebuzz ...he's already written 1 song just for me (called "Jaded") and we co-wrote a song called "Asleep." Fridgebuzz is one of the most popular bands in Tulsa, so I'm excited to be working with these guys.

The 4 remaining members of Fridgebuzz will be scattered to the wind to
persue their dreams in life.
Nice to see there's still enough cohesion for them to be combining their talent
for your benefit Shannon :wink: Danelle has an amazing voice; reminiscent of our
own Kate Ceberano! That is so cool about Jeremy and great to see a relative
lending their percussion skills; I don't know his geneaology but the idea is 8)

Oh, okay. I'll try to get around to that, but it might take a little while. I'm insanely busy this week, plus I'm coming down with a cold. I have a horrible feeling about tomorrow...I'm almost positive I'll be dreadfully sick.
I will put up chords for "Don't Be Beautiful" soon, I promise. :)

I had a dream I was at a Shannon Thomas concert and she had the chords for Don't Be Beautiful on the piano. I don't think they're right.
Bb, Cmin7, Bb, F7
Maybe I'll use them. :)
-
Yeah, those aren't right. lol. It's funny that you had a dream about it, though.
If you just want simple chords for the song to help you figure it out, they are: Am, C, F, G...the base notes keep playing that progression throughout the entire song. Well, except for the bridge, which builds up like this: C, D, F, G...before going back into that same progression, only an octave higher.
:D
I know a lot of you are really good at piano, so I'm sure you can figure it out.
-
Hey Shannon, here is Murillo, how have you been?
Well, I read your interview and I liked it a lot
keep rockin'...
-
Thanks, I figured it out. Interesting choice of the C chord in the progression since my ears told me it should be G... I'm using C though it was just a leading note. Awesome stuff. Is it a D or D minor in the bridge? (D, F# A being D and D, F, A being D minor). It sounds like Dm to me but I could be wrong..
Are you feeling any better? :?:
-

Hello all...
To answer your questions:
1) Yes, it's Dminor in the bridge of "Don't Be Beautiful." (C, Dm, F, G)...sorry if I forgot to put the "m." Whoops!
2) Yes, I'm feeling better now. Yay!
3) Unfortunately I don't have sheet music for any of my songs. I can post chords for MTMTE if I haven't already...
And on another note...I think I'm going to post a poll on here really soon on what my next move should be. I feel quite stuck in many ways and need to figure out what direction to go in. :?

guys ! I have figured out a little part of "more than meets the eye" :lol:
its the piano solo.. hahahaha
well.. I am not very good figuring out songs.. but I tried it 8) !.. haha!

That's pretty close to right...it's hard to explain the difference in writing, though. Basically the right hand is also playing whatever the left hand is playing on every single note...for example, the first "chord" is:
Right hand:
AGF AGF
DDD DDD
Left hand:
D-hold-DDD (octaves)
You see? :wink:

-
Shannon.. could u plz post the chords that u play in Rose colored Shades.. I really want to play that song.. what are the chords that u play at the beggining?...
Well, now I start right at the beginning of the first verse. The intro used to be D A D A (2x), but now it's not there. Here's the chords:
Verses:
G, Bm, A, Bm (4x)
Prechorus:
G, A, Bm, A (3x)
G, A, (A#, C#, F#)--don't know that chord's name
Chorus:
D, A, D, Bm, A (2x)
Bm, A, G, A (2x)
D, A, D, A (2x)
Bridge (my favorite part):
Bm, (A#, C#, E), G, A --don't know that 1 chord's name
End:
D, A, D, A...
Hope this helps! I typed it in kinda a hurry, so if it doesn't seem right, let me know. Note: I use different inversions of some of the chords, so I hope you can figure it out.
p.s. I'm going to be recording this song yet AGAIN very soon with a full band. Yay!
:wink:
-
wow!.. that is super super super super awesome!..
I will look forward to it!.. I know it will be awesome!.. good luck!
-
F#, C#, A# is F# :) Very nice chords, and the song is sweet too. I was in at the music store and I wanted to try the triton but it was set up with layers, and weird synth sounds so I played the Roland RD-300SX instead. Thanks for all the chords. I'm such a spammer... :wink:

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you talking about the official site or myspace? I took it down on myspace...BUT ADDED A NEW SONG! I'm pretty sure none of you have heard it yet...it's called "Never Too Much."
Also, if you go to www.myspace.com/asy9, you can hear my first collaboration with another artist on a song I wrote called "Intruder.'' She did a great job producing it. :D
-
I mean the site, my brother deleted my songs so I don't have it anymore...
I might be able to get the album for my birthday, if you have any left. Do you?
I must tell you, in school? My friend Nicole and I sing your songs all day long ;D
-
Awesome! Yeah, you can still get the cd. Don't worry. I'm only giving it to people who really care... :D
I'll probably take down a few of the songs on my webiste intentionally sometime soon, so I'm not too worried about it. If you really want "Rose Colored Shades" I can send it to you via email or something. It's no biggie.

hehe, actually it would be pretty funny...'cause if I were "famous" (aka: on a major label) I'd have MUCH better recordings and those old ones would be even MORE embarassing! But it wouldn't matter 'cause the good recordings are what people would know me for.
-
But tell me this: If your fans started begging to hear some old song that you've long considered "out" (a la "Superhero" or "All I Ask"), would you refuse to play it, claim to have forgotten how to play it, or would you give in to your fans? 8)

wow!.. I bet those people loved it!.. too bad!.. my ass can't be at any your concerts.. :cry:
-
Shannon: I'm so sorry for the long delay.....it will still be awhile. Please forgive me! i really do want it!
-
So... my speakers still aren't working but I was so curious to hear the new song I went into my parents' office & listened on their computer lol. Anyways, the new song is great! I LOVE it. I even tried adding it onto my myspace but the add songs feature isn't working.. blah.
And btw, I love The Something I Believe In even if you think the older recordings are "embarassing".. I don't think that at all & still don't get why you do lol.

Hey S ! I enjoying playing DBB... its awesome.. I still need to figure out some parts..

The album just came in my mail, all pretty and how sneakily the bonus cd was wrapped up. I have to give my friend some cd's and i don't have cases, I'm going to use that way now. :D

I always wrap the bonus discs that way...I think it's quite clever. Works pretty well, huh? :wink: I've got a couple others like that too, including my unreleased Vanessa recordings...all wrapped up in cute little Nessa pics. :D 8)

Worked for me :wink: I sent Shannon 3 CD singles and protected them from skitch-
ing each other by wraping 2 of the 3 in crepe paper. I think I even used blue :P
btw... I absolutely intended for them to arrive on my b-day; I love the irony *hug*

Oh, I don't know...the bonus disc has kind-of evolved from the beginning...you can download "More Than Meets the Eye" on my website (I think).
Sorry 'bout that!! :)
-
Ah, thanks. :D I just wasn't sure if it was the same version. It is of no problem.
-
Okay, so "Edward" is awesome.
-
Wow, you beat me to it! Thanks, by the way. :D
I was just coming on here to tell everyone I have a new song up on myspace: www.myspace.com/shannonthomas
Check it out!!
-
Wow, you beat me to it! Thanks, by the way. :D
No problem.
The chorus is hot. I can totally see you rocking out to this on stage with a band. Haha. This is an awesome pop song. You should send this to radio stations around you.
-
[Random B appearance]
The piano in the beginning of the song is hot. I love the melody. I really like the vocals too. Awesome song :D.
[/appearance]
-
This is so my new favorite song. haha i'm hooked on it already.
-
Thanks, guys! I'm so excited about this track. :D :D

Thanks, guys! I'm so excited about this track. :D :D
OMG! I just listened to your new song Edward Its amazing!.. You did a good work in this song.. :D 8O :wink:
-
cool new song....good stuff :thumbsup:
you sound a lot like V there...
-
GREAT SONG SHANNON!!!!!!!! :D :D :D 8) :lol:
i had an idea...please dismiss it if you want.......it would be cool (at least to me) if you did a duet with a guy for a song that is like a "remix" or a follow up to "Edward". hope you get what I mean! :)
-
Its the 5th time that I listen to Edward during this morning :D :wink:
-
Good news..>I will be working with the same producers/studio for upcoming recordings. (Maybe even a full-length album!)
:D Stay tuned!
-
Shannon! Oh my gosh! This song......is amazing! Did you take words from my mouth? Remember my x Edward? lol
-
Good news..>I will be working with the same producers/studio for upcoming recordings. (Maybe even a full-length album!)
:D Stay tuned!
Brilliant Shannon 8) Almost as exciting as opening the package from you that
arrived here yesterday; I didn't open it any earlier, b/c I spent most of Friday
trying to arrange a vehicle to replace my pick-up, which finally gave up on me
after some 5½ years and with 232 875 Miles on the Odometer. Made my day!
Thank you so much for the bonus disc - I've put it in your other jewel case so
its safe. I feel so spoilt having a pair of CD sleeves signed by an artist who is
about to take a significant step in their career; all the best with the new stuff
and the F.L.A. Inspired enough to create a new SIG in Corel PhotoPaint 12 :wink:

For those who haven't yet heard, I have 2 new songs up on myspace: "One or the Other" and "Just So You Know." Check them out and let me know what you think!

As long as they stay up at least until January 3rd, I'll check them out. (That's when I get back to school and that T1 connection. :wink: )
-
I must've listened to One or the Other a bazillion times already. This has to be one of my top favorites, if not my favorite most definitely. I wish I had these songs on a cd... lol.
P.S. http://groups.myspace.com/shannonthomas I had some free time since i'm on break. hope everyone joins. I invited about 5 pages of your friends list so far, so hopefully this group will get bigger soon lol. I'll work on trying to get more people in it from groups i'm in for the rest of them.

Whoo-hoo!!!! Thank you! :D
Just so you know (no pun intended), I just now uploaded "Rose Colored Shades" on MySpace--Everyone go check it out!
Tonight I recorded "Don't Be Beautiful" and it should be done by next week. :wink: It sounds awesome. The guys I'm working with said it's their favorite so far (and BY FAR)--one of them even said he got goosebumps. :)
-
I loved the song anyway, so if you've made any improvements at all, I'm sure I'm going to be stunned! :D Btw, I'm listening to you now! 8)
-
rose colored shades rocks my socks!!!!!!!!!!!!1
-
OK, out of these 4 new tracks, which is your favorite? I'd like some feedback. :)
-
^Ah that is hard to choose. I really like the new version of Rose Colored Shades, but Edward & One or the Other are cool songs too, so I can't pick haha. Edward would make a cool single tho :)
-
Don't Be Beautiful is my favorite p/v song, so I can't wait for the studio version!
Out of the four new tracks, One or the Other is my favorite. Followed by Edward. Then Rose Colored Shades. Then Just So You Know. Can't wait for Don't be Beautiful
-
Yeah Don't Be Beautiful is my all time favorite song. Looking forward to the studio version as well.
And yay for the 500th post in this thread.
-
well my fav song is Rose Colored Shades.. I even love the other version.. wich is pretty cool.. but this one is better!.. It would be so cool to hear the studio version of Dont be Beautiful....
followed by One or the Other, Just so you know and Edward.. but I'm love all of them :wink:
-
Thanks for the responses! It's always interesting to know who's liking which songs... :)
"Don't Be Beautiful" is being mixed right now. You will all hear it very soon! I'm so freakin' excited about the upcoming album. :D

-
This is probably weird, but like the first 3 seconds of Just So You Know always reminds me of Vanessa's "Half a Week Before the Winter" for some reason lol.
-
well.. Just so you know reminds me of Private radio 8)
-
Rose Colored Shades and Edward are the greatest songs! ... I've had Edward stuck in my head all weekend, but that's okay. :wink:
-
"Edward" is probably my favorite of the new song batch... but I've always liked "Don't Be Beautiful" so once I hear the new version of that, things could change :dr evil:.
-
Oh no.. he's baaack.
-
HI SHANNON, THE REASON OF 30% OF MY LIFE..
All right?
I've been away.. and I've just heard that there's a song called " JUST SO YOU KNOW "
Where can I check them?
I love you..
Damn it! I have a newfound reason to commit suicide.
Anywho, Shannon, do you know when we'll get to hear "Don't Be Beautiful"? Can't wait, it's going to kick serious ass.
-
Thank God he was banned again. I'm sorry, but Afterglow creeps me out.
-
You will get to hear "Don't Be Beautiful" sometime this week. :)
-
Thank God he was banned again. I'm sorry, but Afterglow creeps me out.
how come he was banned ? 8O
-
You don't want to know.
Anyways, Shannon I can't wait to hear Don't Be Beautiful.
-
:roll: :roll: :roll:
OK THEN!"... yay.. I can't wait to hear Dont be beautiful!.. I bet it will be amazing! :D
-
Shannon, I just had an idea. I went to post about you on the promosquad.com message board... it's a pretty popular music site & fans get to rate music from a variety of artists. And there's this thing I totally forgot about called "get famous" (kind of similar to idolunderground, but better) where you can submit an artist who you think is gonna be big & you have a chance to make it to the jukebox, be on the get famous section & a chance to get signed to a label.
But we have to upload your song & since I don't have any of them downloaded, I thought i'd post it here incase you or someone else wanted to do it. I dunno why i've never thought of this before cuz i've been going to this place forever. http://home.promosquad.com/getfamous.php
-
Ooh! I love this idea. Will you do it for me? I will make a song available to download (I've been kinda wanting to anyway--at least for a little while)...do I just choose ONE song? Let me know. :wink: :D
-
Yay glad you like the idea. And sure, i'll do it for ya. You just pick one song, preferably what you think is your best song. Like Edward or something. And it says to upload a picture that must be less than 1 MB so if you wanted to post one that I can use, that'd be cool. :)
-
Yeah making a song available for d/l is wise nowadays, i've only heard them a few times because i can only listen to them if i'm on the computer at home as my laptop doesn't have speakers but if they were on my mp3 player like your first album i could go to town!
-
The only real problem with allowing one to be d/l now is they're not mastered yet...well, they ARE, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to send them off to be redone by somebody who just focuses on mastering.
I just can't decide what to do. Obviously, you want people to have the best available recording!
:?
-
I'm so excited to see how this promosquad thing turns out. I replied to your pm :)
-
well.. If I were Shannon.. I would upload One or the Other or Edward.... btw... I have One Or the Other :lol: :lol:
-
well.. If I were Shannon.. I would upload One or the Other or Edward.... btw... I have One Or the Other :lol: :lol:
How do you have it?
-
I was wondering the same thing.
-
well.. If I were Shannon.. I would upload One or the Other or Edward.... btw... I have One Or the Other :lol: :lol:
How do you have it?
I thought you would say that :::: I got it when it was avaliable to download... but dont worry.. I am not gonna share it without your permission :wink:
-
Okay, that's cool. :wink:

"Edward" was the spotlight song on the Jan 29 edition of the iROK Radio Podcast. If you have iTunes you should download it!
Check out my latest blog posting for a direct link: www.myspace.com/shannonthomas

-
wow that votes going pretty well!
-
Hey, everyone! Would you please do me a BIG favor and go to www.irokradio.com to vote for "Edward" on the monthly poll? The winner secures a place in the end of year poll & is one of the song choices for the iROK Radio 'Peoples Choice Song of the Year' 2006.
Thank you to everyone who voted this past week--thanks to you, "Edward" was runner-up for song of the week and was played again tonight on the "Rewind" segment of iROK's podcast! That's why it is in the monthly poll...I'm so excited!!
:D
Tell all your friends to tune in and vote on www.irokradio.com ... it would be a nice accomplishment to win song of the year 2006!
-
oh!
that's really cool!
I will make shure to tell ALL my friends to vote for Edward :D

Thanks!!
Right now I'm in the lead...but barely!
-
I vote every time DHCP assigns me a new address! :D (Because you can only vote once from each IP address)
-
Yikes, now your in 3rd place. I made a thread for you on the backstreet boys official fanclub message board...I dunno if that'll help much, but there's like a ton of people there so hopefully it will. I'll make a MS bulletin & stuff too cuz your like so close.
-
Yeah, I am close! But voting doesn't end until midnight on Feb. 19th, so we've got awhile...
Thanks you guys for all your help!
-
I was under the impression that each person (well, each computer) could only vote ONCE, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It looks like everyone can vote ONCE PER DAY...once on each computer. So keep voting, everyone! And PLEASE help spread the word.
THANK YOU!!
*Shannon*

WELL.. NOW YOU ARE ON THE 2ND PLACE..
TODAY.. I WAS SEDING MESSAGES TO ALMOST 3660 PPL .. BUT I COULD ONLY SENT 400 PER DAY.. SO.. TOMORROW I WILL SEND MORE :D :wink:

When I looked at it Thursday, you were so far behind and I was so worried, but then I placed one vote and increased you by a percentage point. I'll be sure to do a full-lab vote a couple times at least next week! :wink:

Awesome! Thank you. I'm not too worried. Like I said, we have until Feb. 19th, so there's plenty of time to beg for votes! :wink:
Besides, have you seen the score lately? I'm in 2nd place, just ONE percent behind 1st place!!
-
and I hope that number will chance!!!
-
yay!
you ARE #1!
-
woohoo go Shannon!
-
yay!... Shannon is the 1st one!!!
hope we can keep it!!
-
:idea: We're doing a good job so far; the key is just not to be behind when the time runs out! :o
-
You guys are tied!
-
I'm on my way back over there right now! :D
-
Come on let's keep going guys!
-
I wish it weren't so freakin' close. I'm tied again (for 1st)! :?
-
Sometimes you just have to accept a draw and take it as being equally best!
If anything this should prove beyond any doubt you have the ability to mix it

I love your song Edward, I was listening to it all the way to the train station. Keep up the good work, your mixes have came a long way I hope they get even better. I voted for you on iROK too. Good luck.
:D
-
Thank you so much! :)
-
Read on your MySpace about the music video thing. That's hella exciting! Your name is up there next to a few big indie artists.
-
Ohh Jag Star is up there too! Their song is gonna be the new theme song for LC's new show from Laguna Beach...kinda makes me nervous. When will you know?
-
Yeah, I had actually heard of Jag Star, which I thought was strange (in a cool way--it made the contest seem even more "legit"). Haven't heard their music, however my boyfriend says they're good. And I read about the theme song thing!! Wow.
They will post the winner on MONDAY, so...keep your fingers crossed. :)
In the meantime, keep voting for "Edward" !!!! www.irokradio.com

I will keep my eyes open on that pool :roll:

Hey guys, there's just 2 more hours left in that iROK poll. Please vote again...I'm TIED for 1st place! 8O

Damn, it's too close to be able to tell by looking at the site! 8O Reckon the site owners have the vote totals?
-
I tried to vote again but I was like 5 minutes too late :(.
-
hehe...that's okay. :wink:
THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!!!!
It looks like I'm still tied for 1st. I don't know what they will do about that. I'll keep you posted. :)
-
Dang, how crazy is it that your tied in 1st lol...what happens if you win?
Oh & remember to let us know about this contest http://www.beamusicvideostar.com/ since you find out today. :)
-
I don't know the results for either one of those contests yet. UGH!!
If I win the iROK contest, "Edward" will be in the end of year poll--each one of the monthly winners will compete for song of the year! :D
-
OK, it's official: I tied for 1st! YAY!
Check it out: www.irokradio.com
You guys are the best! I couldn't have even come close w/o you!

-
Yay!
Can't wait to see what happens in the other contest. How cool would it be to have your own music video.
-
Well done Shannon!
It would have been better without that James dude on there
But congrats!! you earned it!
-
Thank you!
I asked Paul from iROK how many votes James & I each received. Guess how many.
601!!!!
Crazy, huh? :D
-
It would've been more if the poll was easier to find, i went there a few times and couldn't find it for the life of me
-
I never had any problems finding it; it was always on the front page when I went there. :?
-
Me too...
All I had to do was scroll down and it was there...
-
Well, I'm sad to say I didn't win the video contest. :(
It's still awesome that I was a finalist, though! A nice boost of confidence. 8)
-
Aww that sucks, but yeah at least you were a finalist, which was totally awesome!
-
well done shannon
you should be proud of yourself!
what's your mum and dad saying? i bet they're well chuffed!
-

Why are you rolling your eyes?
-
That's what I was wondering too...
-
Shannon I just listened to your music for the first time, and it's awesome! :D I'm sure you'll do really well for yourself. :)
-
Shannon, on the way back from a concert the other night I put in some of your new songs like Edward & stuff & my friends liked you. One of them said you had a pretty voice & my mom even liked you which is shocking cuz she hates everything I like. She was all "she sounds like Vanessa" haha. So yea, just thought i'd share.
-
Thanks, you guys! It's always nice to hear some positive feedback. :wink:
-
hey Shannon!!!
if you EVER record "Quite Alone" let us know !!!.. any chance u could post the lyrics? :D
-
ignore this...
-
Damn you, Laura. Tease us like that! I've been checking Shannon's Myspace every day for that recording since she announced that she recorded it! AHH!!!!!!!!!
-
Damn you, Laura. Tease us like that! I've been checking Shannon's Myspace every day for that recording since she announced that she recorded it! AHH!!!!!!!!!
I feel bad. I always get myself into situations like this...
You see, Laura wanted to help promote me on a certain website, so I gave her a link to some MP3s 'cause that's what it took to enter the contest she wanted to put me in (or whatever you want to call it). Since then, I've added "Don't Be Beautiful" to that particular list of MP3s & she found it~she's so clever. :wink:
However, don't be angry with me!! I will post "Don't Be Beautiful" here tonight: www.purevolume.com/shannonthomas
Now you will all be able to hear it. Hope you guys enjoy! :D
-
haha thanks for posting that Shannon. I just pm'ed Brian asking if he could delete my post, so maybe he wont have to now. Ack, I hate not being able to hold things in lol.

Just lisstening to the purevolume recordings that's so cool that don't be beautiful was rerecorded, it's great to hear it with more polish, as in gloss... not the nationality (http://forums.nessaholics.com/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) hehe awesome stuff!

Tulsa city waits.. I have to catch a plane 8)

Unfortunately I'm most likely going to have to waint until I move to the U.S. :P
-
Are you going to be in Tulsa anytime soon? :wink:
I drive up and down 412 every day, and I know it connects us, but it's soooo long! :(

There's no official release date yet, but I'm shooting for early May. Sorry it keeps getting pushed back. I'm sure you guys are used to it, though. lol. I just have to be realistic about it. I don't even know who I'm going to have help me with the cover art yet...& I don't know what company I'm going to use for duplication. These things take time. Once they get rolling, though, & I choose the best option in each case, everything will be done quickly. :wink:
Oh, and p.s.: The official site is going to be re-designed. I can't wait!!
-
...shooting for early May. Sorry it keeps getting pushed back... you guys are used to it, though. lol.
Fantastic news! Peeps here will be very suprised if VC releases before you do :wink:
If our VC3 release date is way behind the US I'll be asking you to send a copy 8)
-
I'm pretty sure I'm going to start pre-orders soon...& I want to give people who pre-order an extra treat, but I'm not exactly sure what that should be. Any suggestions?
-
I really like your music, you've got such a nice voice! I'd definetly be interested in getting a copy of your problem, but I live in the UK!
xoxo

I was thinking a signed, glossy 4x6... :?:
-
:D I like pictures. I would love anything, though, honestly. That other sweet package you sent to me a few months ago I keep with my other important stuff like my Vanessa autographs and things like that. 8) I'll be sending in my order as soon as I hear about it! :!:
-

Maybe. 8)

I'm in the same dilemma as Jules; I only have a suburb in mind at this point &

The tracks you've made available are becoming adictive; I should order 2 CDs :razz:
-
Shannon,
I don't have a paypal account, so would I be able to like...send you the money?
-
Hey, it's 16 bucks for international, not fair! lol :P
Order 2 CDs and it doesn't seem as costly; 2 x Brainstorms for AU$43.91 :wink:
Most music retailers here would charge ~AU$31.95 ea. for such a fab CD :roll:
-
I don't have a paypal account, so would I be able to like...send you the money?
I have to do the same ^_^ :lol:
-
Did I say addictive? Its 3:10 and I've been repeating the tracks on myspace :razz:
-
:D ^^^Always nice to hear!
For those of you who don't have paypal &/or credit cards, you can send a check or money order directly to me. If you're interested, pm me or email shannon@shannonthomas.net
Everyone who wants a copy should GET a copy!
-
Shannon... for those of us wishing to create new Brainstorms-themed SIGs or
Avatars, are there current pics available other than the 3 most prevalent? I'm
hoping you can share a few so SIGs dedicated to you can be more unique :thumbsup:
Peace
Aaron

Ah. Wow. 8O
Shannon, your music is great.
I might buy the CD. :D
Aaron,
Myspace is great. It's a great place for friends and stuff, and to experiences lots of different types of music and such. It's great. :D

I just finished registering - the range of features available is excellent. I'll have
to make the most of it before I move and lose 24/7 access in another month :o
Just so you know Shannon; I selected the 4th pic from your myspace gallery :razz:
-
Ahhh!!!! 666 replies!
I HAD to change that. :wink: :lol:
-
I also noticed that :twisted: lol Thank you for your welcome comment @ myspace :D
-
hey Aaron ^^^
Just so you know is like a drug!.. dont u think?.. jajajaja :D
-
Absolutely; in a best possible analogy to addiction 8) Given the theme of JSYK
and Shannon's explanation, the balance of Brainstorms are going to ROCK :D
-
>...& here's the description Aaron mentioned:
"Just So You Know" is about worthless relationships that I have witnessed (from afar), but never been a part of. The couple in the song have no reason to be together--they fight a lot & have nothing in common. I put a little bit of myself into the narrator, although I've never found myself in her position. I guess it's just what I would do if I were her.
Just thought I'd share!
-
I love that song Shannon.
Seriously, those songs on your profile is better than some of the shite out there.
I can imagine videos to those songs and everything!
You should post some of your performances on your site or myspace or something :D That'd be hot! (hint hint ;) )
-
^^Thanks!^^
I've been wanting to post some live video for awhile now, but there are several reasons why I haven't yet. Hopefully sometime it'll happen! Right now I am just too busy. Sorry. :oops:
-
Lol, it's cool. Us overseas fans are starveddd though!! :P LOL!
But it's cool :D
Hopefully I'll get to see you play one day when you make it big!
-
>...& here's the description Aaron mentioned:
Peeps really appreciate the background info; at the very least you can expect
any of our artisic creations to convey much more depth of meaning :wink: My JSYK
SIG element requisition started with the code flag below. "Making no way" as
Mike indicates, parallels cirumstances with a much similar warning required 8)
(http://images.animationfactory.com/imagedir/animations/flags/international_code/m_fa/m_fa_sm_wm.gif)
As for the straight forward SIG elements I'm favoring these chorus lyrics now;
And just so you know
Oh, I never wanted to stay
You're someone who can try
But you can't make me high anymore
You're not what I'm lookin' for
-
yumi yummi! :D
I sent to Shannon my envelope last night... can't wait for my copy :lol: :D
-
How much is it for one CD? sorry to bother
-
How much is it for one CD?
US$12 incl. S&H for the U.S., Canada & Mexico; US$16 for all other countries :wink:
-
i thought it was $8.....whoops

The banded malachite fill with 'warped' whirlpool matches the wallpaper detail
in Shannon's pic; the green lifting the profile of darker colors in her picture :thumbsup:
-
^^Cool!^^
-
Thank you! I croped the flag from each frame - but couldn't copy them so that
they created an identical effect in my SIG; I'll try adjusting the merge value :wink:
-
I may have missed something but when is your cd out Shannon?
Cause I pre-ordered it! :wink:
-
Still no official release date...but I can update you a little. The songs are now finished, the cd art is almost complete, & next week the album will be mastered. After that it's off to duplication...& viola! The release shortly after that. :D
-
YESSSS!!!!
I'm gonna send some money next week Shannon :D
Can't wait to see the cover art too :)
-

Thanks for the update! Please let me/us know when you ship the cds.
-
^I will, I promise. Sorry it's taking so long, guys. Gotta work out all the kinks, ya know...
^^The cd art is in an experimental stage. I want to use the photo with my hands up (I don't know if you know what I'm talking about), but it might not work. I'm as interested as you are to see how it turns out!
-
No need to apologise for the delay :wink: You've been so kind to have shared your
new stuff on myspace or MP3 before you finished recording the CD; Thank you!
-
You're very welcome! It's entirely my pleasure.
Thank YOU for enjoying my music & making me feel like I don't suck. :D

Can't suck as much as my afternoon; a car crossed an intersection in front of

As for enjoying your beautiful music; the inspiration has got me here so far...

My boyfriend's always saying how much he likes "Just So You Know," but I fear that a lot of people would find it cheesy. :lol: It's good to know that song is finding more & more fans! :wink: I actually don't think it's cheesy at all, especially not the lyrics, but it is VERY "pop."
FYI: My bio has finally been edited to my liking. Check it out & let me know what you think: www.myspace.com/shannonthomas

Excellent bio edit there; its more concise, yet the content just as impressive :wink:

Aaron, I'm a horrible person! I forgot to mention in my post yesterday that I'm sorry you got into an accident. :cry: I assume you are okay??
-
Thank you for your concern Shannon! Uninjured like in January, but the
car sustained more damage this time because of the speed involved :o
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/cadenus/jsyk_sig01.gif)

I've thought about it...but every one of those contests costs money & it's so hard to win 'cause there are TONS of entries. So most people just keep entering again & again...& they just lose money. :? :(
It would be sweeeet to win, though! 8)

Reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. He & I had a mascot together: The squirrel. (We were weird.)
8)
-
lol...do I really NEED a mascot? 8O :lol:
Its more an issue of an emblem distinctive enough to capture the attention of
peeps browsing here, that might not have checked out your music yet :wink: Lots
of marketing incorporates animal icons successfully. I've used Squirrels before
but this is much more about a promotional dynamic that's being under-utilised

Listening to "Don't be Beautiful". Love it love it love it.
I have to say, Shannon, you really hit the jackpot with this thread. This is like the NESSAholics.com/Shannon Thomas Forums.
-
lol, yeah I'm very lucky so many people responded to this thread...and I owe it all to Laura, who started it! :D
"Don't Be Beautiful" will probably always be one of my favorite songs that I wrote. I'm glad you like it!

Moving down the coast Thursday where I'll have no net access 24/7 as here
so I'm trying to make the most of my time online. Hopefully I can resolve the
problem with the CD/DVD player in the TV my bro has left me, otherwise the
enjoyment of Brainstorms, is going to be much less frequent than I'd like :wink:
-
Its nice to know the album goes to duplication.. Cool ! It's coming soon! :D
-
It'll be here eventually...it's taking it's dear sweet time. :razz:
It'll probably be early June, guys. It keeps getting pushed back!!! :evil: :roll: There were so many unexpected delays.

AYR! :wink: :D

Aw, you're too sweet!
What's up with the tiny writing? Does it have something to do with "Another You"?? :lol:
I think you guys will love "Always Never." It's the last track on the album...it's becoming several people's favorite. 8)
-
Oooh I look forward to hearing it :D
I can't wait to hear "More Than Meets The Eye" too. The only version I have is the one you did for "The Something I Believe In" :)

Awesome Shannon :D Is there any chance you could share the lyrics here? :wink:
-
ALWAYS NEVER: If I keep waitin’ for you like I’ve done before/ Will you walk out the door as I’m comin’ in/ Rivers of people curl, will I see through the swirls/ If it’s a small world, how do I miss you// Pre-chorus: Always, always, it never works out/ Never, never, I’m always in doubt/ You always never do care about the one you can’t see/ I might as well be make believe// Chorus: I’m dreamin’ of impossible stuff/ I need you too much, oh but that’s what love does/ I’m fighting with fate, always on your tail/ It never does any good/ I used to think it would// & if I don’t hold back, will you see where I’m at/ Oh, will you get here fast or leave me hangin’/ Feelings become a pest, I just forget the rest/ I have become a mess & I keep thinkin’/ Pre-Chorus// Chorus// & now I’m slowly findin’ out fairytales are purely fictional/ What made me think if I could just scream loud, I would never be the one you can’t see/ I might as well be make-believe//

this song is gonna be a bomb!

Hopefully you mean THE bomb!

Hopefully you mean THE bomb!
Going on the lyrics you posted, this is going to be another favorite with fans :wink:

-
Hopefully you mean THE bomb!
LMAO!
-
shannon, do you ever tour around the new york tri state area?
ID LOVE TO SEE A SHOW!
-
I live in Oklahoma & my career is getting off to a pretty slow start (this place doesn't really support original artists), so I haven't toured yet. I'm going to see how well this album sells & go from there. I need to be doing something differently, but I don't know what.
I actually have my first out of state show on June 10th. I'll be playing in St. Louis. :)
I will keep all the Nessaholics posted on tour dates, should they ever be scheduled. :D 8)
-
I'm so excited to hear brainstorms!

^We all are! :D

Aww :oops: :D

Are there any Shannon Thomas fans in St. Louis? I'll be there tomorrow night! (Sat., June 10th @ The Red Sea.)
What about Chicago? I'll be there on June 25th.
If anyone can make it, that would be GREAT!! Especially for the Chicago show -- I'm going to be playing for some really important people. :wink:
Just thought I'd let you guys know!
Shannon

Sorry, wish i was closer! Good luck! Can't wait for the CD!

I wish too!! I'm dying to go to Europe.
-
When you do do a european tour one day i'll definately go, you should play some of the great coffee house venues we have, i went to one in birmingham recently for bic runga, it help about 300 people and was how i always imagined seeing her, it was perfect and such a unique environment, fauxbar, which is a word i just made up but think could catch on!!!

I'd say!... I'm pretty bad at guessing how many people there are in a room if you know what I mean? Like if I saw all the people at a sports stadium in a line, i'd guess a million... But this was prolly 300... I'd say 100 sitting and well maybe it was more like 150 then! Still it was really nice :D

Sorry that the discs didn't come out the right color shannon!
-
so... it was black and you wanted it blue or something like that :?
-
It was grey & I want it black - in the files I gave them it's so obviously BLACK!! And the grey badly clashes with the tan color of the rest of the artwork. It's ICKY. :(
-
I guess you don't have any idea of when it mights be ready.. do you ?
-
^Not yet, unfortunately. Since I feel so bad about the delays of the album, I put up a couple new songs on myspace, namely "Collide." I think you guys will like the new version...& hopefully it'll tide you over 'til the album finally freakin' comes out. :wink:
-
hey shannon, did you get my PM?
-
Discs are supposed to ship tomorrow & be here on Tuesday. As long as they aren't the wrong friggin' color again, I will be shipping them out ASAP!! Yay!
-
Those are great news! Thanks for the Update! :D I hope they are in the color you wanted now :D

I wouldn't say *everyone*. lol. But I appreciate the support I do get.
FYI, I played @ Diversafest (a local music festival) last night & it went very well! Someone from our local newspaper approached me & wants to review my cd, so I'm pretty excited about that. Plus, the crowd was much better than usual. We filled the small venue up & everyone was paying attention (which is not always the case, unfortunately, lol). It was only my band's 3rd show together, but I noticed a huge improvement. AND I might've found a guitarist! Whoo!
-

Sweet.
Because I had to move I changed addresses. Since I already ordered, etc. can I just PM you what the old addy was and what the new one is?

I am sooooooooooooo PISSED @ the duplication company right now. The discs did not come in yesterday, like they promised. Turns out, everyone who was working on my project was either fired or quit within the past few days. Now they don't even know where my project IS!!!! My boyfriend is supposed to hear back from them today. I will keep you guys updated.
Mostly I'm pissed because I think this makes me look bad in front of my fans, who are probably sick of hearing the "excuses" for the album's delay.
:evil:
I hope you guys understand...& if you ever record an album, DON'T USE OASIS MANUFACTURING for your duplication. Ugh.
-
It's funny that you're using Oasis because they have the whole personal-letter advertisement in music magazines and such. I'm so sorry for you!
-

We chose them because we heard good things about them...a couple of websites suggested Oasis. I figured it didn't matter - how hard can it freakin' be?!

no way shannon we totally understand! all these delays suck but i'm sure as hell not blaming you. youre brilliant to us :D
-
Thank you. I just feel so bad! I don't want to make anyone mad - or even annoyed. I'm glad you guys are so sweet about it. :)
-
It isn't your fault other people can't do their job right. :wink:
I don't think anyone will be annoyed or upset with you about it. :)
-
Some big shit must be going on over there. :? I can completely sympatize with the irritation. I will be patient, though. I know it's worth it! :D
-
Thanks. :)
So...yesterday they claimed that they will be shipped Friday or Monday. I'm not holding my breath. But we will be in touch with them, making sure they get it done. :wink:
-
Slam them with a lawsuit and then start your own record label.
-
whoa! im lovin the new website shannon, great job! and the cd cover of brainstorms, finally unvieled, is also fabuloso! :D cant wait for my copy
-
The album is gonna be so damn hot!
-
lol...that's a lot of DAMNs this evening! :lol:
-
I just preordered the album, Shannon.
The new website looks great! Can't wait for the CD.
-
Yeah the new website looks really good. And if that's the CD cover, I like it too! :D
-
The new site design definitely looks awesome. :D
-
Yes, I'm checking it out right now. Damn, that's nice! :D
I just wish my damn internet connection was a little faster! :x
-
I LOVE the new website! Um, whenever I click to play Another You, I get Always Never... The cover looks AMAZING!

Yeah, we're going to get that fixed...I can't believe he did that. :roll:
If anyone notices anything else weird, let me know!
Unfortunately, that's NOT the album cover (I'm referring to the big picture on the home page)...the album cover is the little square picture on every single other page. :wink: We couldn't make the other one work very well, although I think it's much more dynamic & interesting. I'm glad we got to use it for the site, though.

p.s. shannon, whats the link to your forums? i used to just click "forums" before the full website opened lol. I'd put a forum button on the navigation menu of your site. ive tried thinking of links to type but i cant get in :(

http://shannonthomas.net/bb/index.php
^That is the link to my forum. Sorry 'bout that! We overlooked the fact that it wasn't put on the new layout! Hopefully we'll get that fixed really soon. :wink:

I'll admit, I didn't like your music in the beginning but the clips I heard are amazing. You are terrific. It was so long ago. Hmm...shame on me. :) I'm definately going to purchase your album. Good Luck!

Unbelieable sounds amazing!
I was reading the lyrics when shannon posted it on her blogs in myspace.. i was like: That song is gonna be a bomb!... I absolutly love it
Chorus is my fav part!
Let's work it out
Think where we began
Let's let it end
When it wants to end
Things have progressed
Far from nothingness
I am impressed with how far we've come
Chorus:
Don't stop a good thing
I love what's happening
What we have is so unbelievable
Don't stop a good thing
I love what's happening
What we have is so unbelievable
One or two problems
That are so very small
Give love the credit
'Cause we're not in control
This kind of feeling
It doesn't have to be rational
I've gotta confess we've progressed over time
Repeat Chorus
Higher forces waiting for us to melt
Magnetizing the unlikely
11 courses into this lovely feast
And I'm still hungry
Repeat Chorus :D

The problems on the site have been fixed. Currently the link to the forum is on the "links" page, but eventually it will be moved to the menu bar. :wink:

u should try to put ur album on iTunes
idk how that stuff work but it would be cool

^Well, that was the plan, but I think I'm going to hold off for awhile...LONG story.

I'm soo excited to get it!!!!! I'll write a full review!

I have every little demo track and CD track you have sent me on my MP3 drive in my car right now, and I've been playing it for like three days! I can't wait! :D
-

Oh god. That old stuff is embarassing now! 8O
-
You'll have to deal with it! =) Just kidding, we'll burn it all. :twisted:
-
Well, just think how much we Nessaholics love that scratchy little tape that Vanessa made at her piano so many years ago... :D
I actually kinda like digging up the old stuff. It reminds me of when you were just starting to write stuff and record a demo for us all to hear. It's the stuff that caught my attention and got me to tune in. But consider this: If it weren't for where you've been, you'd be nowhere now. :wink:
But yes, I have 23 tracks of stuff on my MP3 thing right now. There's actually three different versions each of "Rose-Colored Shades", "Not Below You", and "Don't Be Beautiful", some being over a year old.
-
Having older tracks to listen back on gives you a really good barometer of how much an artist has grown lyrically, vocally, etc.
I like listening to older stuff and comparing and contrasting sometimes. :)
-
Hey Shannon...
How did you ship your CD? I was hoping to see my copy in the mail today, but it wasn't there. Did you ship using FedEx or UPS?
-
Hey Shannon...

No....don't hate me, but I did regular mail. They said for overseas it would take 7-10 days (not counting all the customs crap they have to go through), so I imagine the U.S. orders should be just a few days. Maybe you will get it tomorrow. I hope so!
-
I got the CD in the mail today :D. Thanks!
I'll post again with thoughts, etc. once I get to listen to it :).
-
^^
I envy you!
I have to wait a month!.. oh well.. wut can i do?.. I am a patient person :wink:
-
I couldn't hate you, Shannon.
It's not like I had time to listen to it today anyway.
-
One thing that stood out for me on the first run through was the production. It is interesting how more of the band instrument stuff is mixed in with the P/V stuff, I like. :D
Great job on the CD overall!
-
zurielshimon could you please post all the songs you have? just so i know what i don't have....which is a lot because i never got around to getting the Something i believe in......darn.....:)
-
Wooo! It came. Listening to it now.
The packaging looks SO awesome. Really professional. I liked the package you sent it in, too. Your handwriting is cute.
Thanks!
-
I'm so excited that the album is finally out and everyone seems to be enjoying it! I tried to make it as professional as possible...from the production, right down to the packaging. PLEASE, if you like it, tell all your friends. That's all I ask. :D
Thanks for all the nice comments.

You all should get it. It's hot.
-
Shannon Thomas is unbelievable!
-
Sorry I haven't been on here for like four days, but I have been so busy listening to 'Brainstorms' I just haven't had time! ;) Honestly, I'm not kidding: I've been working constantly, and it's been the only thing playing in my car the whole time (except when Megan gets in and changes it to country :x ).
Excellent, excellent album! I'm completely in love with "Another You", "Unbelievable", and Always Never". :D
To my ears, I'm certainly hearing a bit stronger of a Vanessa Carlton influence and a more mature songwriting and singing ability than earlier. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I started feeling un poco del calor that I usually only get from Shakira in a couple of places. 8O
:arrow: As for the list of songs I have, all I have is 'The Something I Believe In' CD, a 6-track CD she sent me, and some early versions of "Collide", "Not Below You", "Rose Colored Shades", "Don't Be Beautiful", "Edward", "One Or The Other", "Just So You Know", "More Than Meets The Eye", and a track called "My Hell".

I'm still waiting for my copy... :(

shannon! just thought i'd tell you i was playing your cd in the car, which my mom usually hates me doing, and i caught her singing along to unbelievable!!! of course she pretended it hadnt happened when i turned to her :lol:

But whatever, each to their own and all that.
Umm... could you please explain how what I wrote is rubbish? I, having written it, know that it's a very honest review. Is it rubbish because I didn't give it 100/100? I wouldn't give 2001: A Space Odyssey 100/100. If it were out of 10, I would've given it a 9, which is damn good.
-
i just happened to stumble across white houses comment on your review, & I didn't think it was rubbish at all. You gave your honest opinion.
I still need to get the album. i cant get it for a while though cuz my mom hates ordering stuff online & my dad was gonna get it for me, but umm he's in the hospital now so yeah im gonna have to wait a little bit to hear it. blah i wish it was in stores :cry:

You can send me a check or money order in the mail, if you'd prefer. Just let me know if you'd like the address.
p.s. I don't think the review was rubbish. It was just an opinion. :wink:

No, you definitely didn't trash it. But you were honest, which is a good thing, even though (of course) I would not mind hearing from everyone that I am the best singer-songwriter in the history of the entire universe. :lol:

oops i guess i didnt make that clear. no she has no specific problem with you, she just has this preconcieved idea about my music before she hears it. Like when i put in the wreckers she said "now i could listen to this alright. who is it?" and i said michelle branch cus she would know the name. of course then she was all "ach i dont like HER" haha, see what a crazy she is :wink:
anyway love the cd shannon, keep it up :D
-
i liked the review. very honest. now i have to buy the cd!
-
I'm thinking about buying a copy for my sister. She might like it, and even if she doesn't, that'd be another one sold. 8)
-
What is wrong with the review? He says very complimentary things like: "Will someone just give her a record deal, already?"
That's very positive.
"I tend to not enjoy Shannon's music when it's upbeat and happy-sounding."
-just remove the word Shannon and there's my general feeling that I share with many, many listeners and lovers of music.
I haven't heard the CD, so reading the review makes it sound like something I would definitely want to listen to. It doesn't discourage me at all.
We all love Harmonium, and that got some shitty reviews, even though we think it's brilliant. Welcome to the world of art.

^exactly.

Shannon, what kind of shipping method did you use for overseas? regular airmail or global priority?

Regular air. The lady said it would be 7-10 days, which seems to be about right.

'Brainstorms' has made it into my permanent rotation set in my Cadillac. :D To put some perspective on what that means, right now in the Caddy alongside it are Vanessa's 'Harmonium' and Anna's 'Wreck of The Day' (2005).
I've been picking out lines in the songs that I find are either very clever or very touching or just strikingly original, and as soon as I can get out a pen and listen over the album again, I think I'm going to jot some of them down and posting them. :D

Ooh, fun! I can't wait to see which lines you choose.
And yes, I try to be clever - I have a fondness for cleverness. :lol:

Cd is finally here!!
Comments to follow later on ;)

Yay indeed!
So far, I'm pretty impressed with the album, some songs have changed/evolved so much from what I heard before.
A couple of songs sounds a bit overproduced to my ears though.
But the whole album sounds really nice.
Keep in mind I only listened to it once. ;)
Final words: congrats Shannon! :D
ps: I shall edit my post if I feel like I have more to say! hehe

What I like about Shannon Thomas:
:arrow: She has a very beautiful voice that ranges from fine to bold, but never harsh or whiney. I can literally listen to her all the time.
:arrow: She can convey a large range of emotion in her voice. When she sings, it's actually a performance and not just a recitation of lyrics.
:arrow: She has a very clever originality in her use of words. Her metaphors often have me wanting to hear a certain line over again and think about the comparison she's implying.
:arrow: She has a knack for crafting an effective hook. Virtually every song of hers I've ever heard has found a way to get stuck in my head at one time or another.
:arrow: She is also very easy to look at, though I still long to see her perform live.

Eleven courses into this lovely feast
And I'm still hungry
Easily my favorite line on the whole album! :D
Though a close second is...
On a high, won't come down
How could I when you're around
Just the emotion in the words, "How could I?", it just touches me. :)
And did anyone read my post at http://forums.nessaholics.com/viewtopic.php?p=180261#180261? This so applies right now! (Especially #2 and #3)

Hi Shannon
I just realised I haven't posted on NH since 5/24! Great such cool feedback is
being posted here for Brainstorms. I still have to get the CD/DVD player in my
TV fixed (I don't have the remote control either as my brother lost it when he
moved to Perth). Hopefully I'll have everything sorted in another month or so
Peace

Recently found out I was nominated for a 2006 Spot Award - for best Pop Act (put on by the Tulsa World newspaper each year). :D I was thrilled!
-
Congrats! :D I hope you win!
-
Thanks. :) I seriously doubt I'll win 'cause I'm the only artist in my group who doesn't have a solid local following. I just think it's cool that I'm nominated 'cause I didn't expect it!

Who votes for the award?

I keep my fingers crossed for you :wink:

I am going to change a few of my songs on myspace...let me know which song you want to hear!
You can hear clips of every song on my album here: www.shannonthomas.net - but you don't have to pick one of those songs. :wink:
Let me know if you have a request!
"Unbelievable" has already been chosen, so pick a different one.

I still eagerly await a preview of the new version of "Sleepless Dream".

definitly!
Always Never :wink:

Another You!!
PS: Edward and Collide are so vicious!!! I cannot stop listen her...

I can't stop either. I really love 'Brainstorms', and it's going to stay in my Cadillac playlist even after I reorder everything else on it tonight. :D

I do, but it's not up on the web...it's really not impressive. The sound was horrible & I was nervous as hell! :lol:
In order to put it up somewhere, I'd have to transfer the video from my tv to my computer. I'll look into it 'cause I want to make the fans happy. But I'd rather your first impression of my live performance be something better than this tv performance. Ya know?

Lyrics to Intruder?
-
I've lost my vision
You've made me hopeless
And I lie in bed, afraid
And I wonder
Why I can't sleep
And I don't care to dream
Chorus:
Intruder, don't come here
Steal my dreams & birth my fear
Intruder, won't you please leave me alone
Where's my thoughts? You hid them
They're not this nightmarish
And I'm begging you to let go
To let go
My head is clouded
I cling onto sadness
As I witness this eclipse
I must wonder
Why I can't flee
From what isn't really me
Chorus
There's no way that I can escape my mind
There's no way that I can leave behind
The enemy that comes from the inside
I don't have the strength to try
I don't have the strength to try
Intruder, don't come here
Please leave me alone
Intruder, don't come here
I'm begging you to let go
Chorus
:wink:
-
I <3 Intruder :D

Beautiful lyrics! :D

Thanks guys. :)

i'm so jealous. you're amazing.

I know envy is a bad thing... but you're just that amazing.

I'm jealous of shannon. She's beautiful and talented! I wish you could play around southern california *sniff*

While I am admittedly flattered, you don't know the whole story. Hopefully what I put out in the world is great...but it takes me awhile to completely finish anything I believe is worth sharing. Right now I am in the middle of writing several songs that have me stuck. So in my case, the key to being "amazing" (or perceived as anything close) is knowing when something is good enough to be considered done. And it does not come easily for me most of the time. I have confidence issues because it always seems like other artists (like Vanessa) are so much more naturally talented than I am, but I really want to be an inspiration to anyone who's ever felt like an underdog...anyone who wants to do something, but feels like they can't. I didn't even THINK of trying to write a song until I was about 21 because I didn't think I COULD. It seemed so impossible. So it's pretty cool to be able to prove yourself wrong over & over again, one step at a time. I just want you guys to know that I certainly appreciate your wonderful comments, but anything "amazing" that comes out of me is the result of simply the desire to create something great - no matter how long it takes.
I hope you understand my point. This is such a long post! lol
-
Of course we understand you...
And be sure, you lassie make a really nice stuff....
And believe, soon we'll see you at the Grammy show and you'll get the award of NEW BEST FEMALE ARTIST, NEW BEST SINGLE, NEW BEST ALBUM....
-
wow well I think I do know what you mean. I mean, I write music too, and it takes /such/ a long time for me to finish a song. I have so many tunes that aren't finished and never will be. But maybe that's the point of art... to find what means something to you and what means something to others. I actually have a song that's just for me.. and that's pretty important. And I don't think writing songs is every easy.. for anyone. I mean I'm sure there are some geniuses, but even vanessa carlton has to run into some obstacles sometimes. The only artist I've heard of who writes music in one sitting is Fiona Apple. I'm sure there are others, but I bet it's pretty rare. The reasons I think you're AMAZING is because what you /do/ put out there for the world to hear is /actually/ admirable. It's not fluff. It really does mean something to US and that's hard to achieve. Most artists (including myself) run into cliches or express themselves withouth conveying any deeper meaning beneath the surface. Does that make sense? You have musical, as well as poetic talent... and then there's something else in between that you have, that most don't. not sure what it is, but keep it up. it rocks! and this has been a very lengthy reply...
-
A lengthy, but LOVELY response. I have been telling myself the same thing, but it's nice to hear it from someone else - makes it seem like I'm not just trying to make myself feel better. The truth is every artist has their own way of creating and there's no right or wrong way to do it. What's important is that we keep trying 'cause once we put something out into the world that people can appreciate, it is SO COOL. :D

Yeah, I understand. I've been writing songs since I was... well, since I could talk, but I really thought I was too dumb to play an instrument. Now I play a few (mainly piano and guitar), but I still struggle with doubt because I look up to artists like Nessa, and because I hold them in such high esteem, I feel that I could never be as good as them, musically. I just have to remind myself that Vanessa (or another artist) writes her own fantastic music... but she couldn't write MY music, because nobody can do that except me... and the same applies to you. No-one else can write to express Shannon Thomas' thoughts and feelings, know what I mean? And I have to say that the lyrics for Intruder are cool. I like dark-ish songs! :D
-
^^^ mm hmm that's a good point.

I just posted a new song called "You're a Ghost" on myspace. Check it out!! www.myspace.com/shannonthomas
YOU’RE A GHOST
Passing years don’t count for much
There are ways to keep in touch
Without ever trying
I’m stranded in your presence
You find a way to show your face
Without ever knowing
Chorus:
You’re a ghost, a living ghost
I miss you most when you’re here
You’re a ghost, a living ghost
You’re too well known to ever disappear
Here and there and everywhere
I’ve had more than just my share
I can forget forgetting
There’s the you that I have found
That I know too much about
And yet there’s so much I’m missing
Chorus
Over time nothing dies
Every piece of you is gone, yet you are still alive
I wish I could blame you
I want nothing more than to just be through
With your face
I see it every day
There’s the you that I have found
That I know too much about
And yet there’s so much I’m missing
Chorus
-
I love your music! Love the new song. Makes my broken heart feel at ease.
-
Thanks...I'm glad I can help. :)

I think this is your Darkest song (I thought "Another you" was your darkest song.. but this one is 8O ) The piano riff is amazing! it's just 8O 8O 8O 8O

And I can't wait for the final mix of "Tragic" 'cause it might be my favorite song that I've ever written. Maybe. :)
-
Yes, you all, check out the song! :D If you're a fan, you'll love it! Just like I posted on her board, it's another product of her high-level songcrafting. And if you're not a fan, get your head out of your butt and go listen!

The cd came today! That was pretty fast since I only ordered it a week ago. Anyway, I've only listened to it once through but so far I'm liking it! I already heard a few of the tracks from your myspace player but the other songs I haven't heard before, I quite enjoyed too. When I opened the booklet I was like, woah! lyrics!
And you sign your name with little stars everywhere. Hehe. 8)

Shannon those new lyrics are great! Haven't listened yet, due to my computer's problems with myspace :( But I'm looking forward to listening when I'm at my boyfriend's house soon!
Also I'm gonna record some live tracks soon! (Over the next couple of weeks... this will prove I do actually write songs, I'm not just bullshitting, lol) :lol:

lol...don't worry, we believe you! I'm interested to hear your stuff. :D
I'm glad you like the lyrics. Thanks for reading them. Hope you enjoy the song...I think my favorite part about it is the strings. Yay for strings!!

Did you buy "Brainstorms" - I know, I'm horrible. I can't remember. I could've sworn you did ... anyway, there's lyrics in the album art for "Brainstorms."
I sign albums, when it's requested. I'd do it for everyone, but I feel I can't assume everyone would want that. Some people would probably prefer a "normal" copy. lol.
I can send you an autograph, if you'd like. :D

I bought the Brainstorms album, I'm pretty sure it didn't come with lyrics. But I can check again, as for the autograph i would love one! 8) you should have merchandise, I would so buy a sweater or something.

I'm listening to "You're A Ghost" right now!
It's really cool, Shannon! It reminds me of Vanessa, which is of course a very high compliment :D
-
If there were no lyrics, then the program printing must've gotten botched. Surely someone would've noticed. They're inside the program in the front of the CD case. And I love the autographed 4x6! As soon as I can get a frame that size, it's going near my VC 8x10 (the one you see in my avatar). :D

If the printing company screwed that up, I swear...I'm going to be SO mad. They took forever getting my cds to me & even "lost" my project for awhile. Sheesh.
pm me your address & I will send you an autographed 4X6, Manda!

Nope, I dug out my cd today in my car and found them. Thanks! Do you have any merchandise? I would definitely be willing to buy something else, aside from your cd :)
-
Are you saying the lyrics were or were NOT included in your copy??
I don't have any other merch YET. But I will let you know when I do!
-
I thought they didn't, my Marla Sokoloff cd didn't come with them. Which I hate :evil:

I don't have any other dice yet either :oops: Now that Xmas in only 1 month away
I really should make a point of ordering a copy and sending you an Xmas card!
I'm currently laid up with a 3rd degree sprained ankle which has put me out of
action at work for 5 weeks. I've no Idea yet just how much assistance my claim

Yeah, I had to dip into my savings account for that one. :wink:
Thanks for posting that, medic!

oh thats the first live video i've seen, that was awesome Shannon. I still think you need to come to So Cal soon though hehe. Theres a cute little coffee shop called the neighborhood cup in Laguna Beach where I saw matthew jordan at (from V's mtv duets) so if your ever in the area you should play there :)
-
great. I wonder if I'll be able to take a shower anymore without "don't stop a good thing" popping into my head. haha ;)
-
I just bought EDWARD on iTunes
-
Shannon, are the strings on "Unbelievable" real?
Also, cool to see "Brainstorms" on iTunes!
-
No, the strings aren't real. Do they sound real? :)
-
No, the strings aren't real. Do they sound real? :)
The violin on the left stereo sounds real at times, but when everything else kicks in then no, they don't. Sorry lol. I didn't want to sound mean and say that they don't off hand, but the effects that your producer used are good.

And it sounds great. I mean, this is coming from someone who has recorded strings many the times, so I know what sounds real and fake. It sounds very good. I can generally tell right off the bat if strings are real or fake, and I was far from 100% sure, so that's definately a good sign.

Cool. :D

FYI - I'll be in San Francisco from Saturday the 9th through Wednesday the 13th. On Monday (the 11th) I will be attending open mic night @ The Hotel Utah Saloon. 500 4th St. @ Bryant. 8pm, 21+.

Dangit, the one time you come to California you go to Northern Cali 7 hrs away lol oh well, guess i'll just have to wait a little longer to see you perform.

There was a time I was planning on living there ... but then I got a reality check. lol
FYI - I've decided not to play at that open mic night in San Francisco, so Laura, you're not missing anything! (p.s. I don't think Manuel was trying to be mean.)
-
did u make a music video?
-
Phew, finally I can comment the CD here.
Allright, was almost 2 months that I received it, but only now that I graduated, I got time to comment.
It was good, because now I have a more concrete opinion.
The cd is fantastic! I hear it every day and it has not a music what i not liked, in spite of having sickened of hear too much some of them. But nothing that a time without hearing does not resolve.
Is quite characteristic the influence of Vanessa, at the piano of the songs (Always Never remembers the piano of Paradise). A thing that I repaired, is the small quantity of slow songs (like Don't Be Beautiful) and many agitated.
This last point was favorable, since I showed the songs to some of my friends and they adored!!
My favorites are: Don't Be Beautiful (perfect for a situation that I am having now) and One Or The Other (I loved the part of the guitar!! Totally Crazy!!).
Final note: 10.0
-
^Wow! Awesome! :D
Someone asked if I made a music video ... unfortunately, the answer is "no." Someday I will, whether it's professional or not. :wink:

i just purchased BRAINSTORMS.
shannon, let me tell you. You are truely an inspiration to me, and to a lot of other people. i'm attempting to write some music, and your music motivates me to. You ROCK

hey Shannon, i've been importing your cd's into my ipod I just got for Christmas, but for some reason Erupt, He Hears Promise from your first album & Don't Be Beautiful from Brainstorms wont import. I forget what the reason was, but would you be able to send me those songs? if not it's cool, just thought i'd ask cuz I love those songs.

Ditto. I don't have an iPod; just an Imac on loan since the monitor on my PC
decided to pack up shop the day I returned to install Windows XP on the new
Hard Drive! The Imac is just like an oversized iPod for me 'cause I play MP3s
on it all the time. By the way Shannon, I hope you had an awesome Chrissy!
Peace

you mean those songs wont import for you either? wow, i thought it was just me. how weird.
-
I hate to encourage people to listen to those first recordings, but I might be willing to send you the mp3s - problem is I don't know where any copies of "The Something I Believe In" are right now. (Don't hate me!)

Kind of exciting when I know something about Shannon she doesn't even know herself. There's a copy on the "prime" section of my shelf right behind me here in my office. "Prime" is where I keep my absolute favorites, like Vanessa, Shannon, Anna, and a few select albums from other artists. Darn, now you know. :razz:
-
I can't wait for Shannon to become a mainstream artist. It's gonna happen one day, I'm sure.

-
man it's hard to believe i started this thread almost two years ago & it's almost at 1000 replies. Probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest artist thread? how crazy..
sorry, just a random thought.

As of this posting, it's in fourth place for number of posts among topics in the "Other Musicians" forum, with 991. The three above it are Delta Goodrem (2030), Michelle Branch (1264), and Evanescence (1191). Those four by far stand out past the next bunch, with fifth place being Linkin Park with only 471. Past that, the post counts get closer together. But unless LP, Ben Jelen (433), or Maroon 5 (404) get a big boost of something to talk about on here, Shannon's likely to stay in fourth, if not eventually overtake Ev or Michelle. :D
-
wow, how in the world did you figure that out haha

wow, how in the world did you figure that out haha
It's pushing 4 in the morning. I'm bored. I sat here and counted every post in every thread and wrote it down and added them up by hand.
:razz:
I just flipped through the forum listing and made note of the post counts on each thread (or the reply count, plus one for the original post). I'm sure there's a query command for that, but since there's only 20 pages, what the hell. :wink:
-
Shannon You're an :amylee:
I'm in love with your album day by day
Now my favourite is Unbelievable
-
You guys are all so amazing! I just want to say thank you for all of your posts, for the support you have given me. :D
In 2007, I am considering quitting my day job & focusing (much) more on my music. Please help me have the courage to believe in myself, as you have thus far.
Thanks again! (And happy new year to you all!)
-
You are certainly welcome! :D You have all my support and I know you have what it takes. Just remember what I've said about you all along!
-
^ditto. as long as you don't go hip-hop on us, you'll have all my support too :wink: i know you wont do that, im just kidding. i'm looking forward to some more new music from you this year.

I'm looking at the new MacMini down under which will double as my iPod. You
can count on your peeps here at NH to support you 110% regardless of just
where they are! Thank you especially for getting me that copy of Harmonium

Shannon never stop writting! you got all my support!!
Don't stop a good thing :wink:
-
10000 :D
-
I don't know why you're still this way
You can count on us... You should have stopped your job and everything since you saw who we were....
A Brazilian expression for you
" Who early wakes, God helps "
It's something like...
If you've gotta run to do what you're wanting as fast as you can be.. cos the fast you do things, the fast you'll get them
Haaahh.. Forget this shit above, just put in mind that me and all the world is with you...
-
Work has been terrible today ... I'm thinking about putting in my 2 weeks notice. :roll:
-
^you so should. Do you mind if I ask what you do? i didnt even know you had another job lol.
-
It's just an office job. BLAH!!
I'm totally quitting today! Wish me luck. :D
-
Wow, bold move! But have no worries. We all have the utmost faith in you, especially I. Even if things get a little tight along the way, you have more than just fans here. Some of us (I included) are even your friends and we're always here for you! :D
-
Thank you very much!
Yes, it's a bold move, but not as bold as you might assume. I'm in a position where I can get away with not working for awhile.
I am SO excited about getting to just focus on being creative & looking for opportunities to get my music out into the world!
-
I /finally got to order a copy of Brainstorms now that I have some dinero from xmas! I can't wait. And please visit denver/boulder before you're HUGE! This is so exciting. Are you gonna give your boss a "you know what, when I'm famous..." line when you put in your two weeks? haha :D

:lol: Nah, but I did tell him why I was quitting: To pursue my goals with my music. :wink: (p.s. I hope you like the cd! If you like what you've heard so far, there's a good chance you will like the rest. :) )
-
We're all proud of you. Life is too short and too uncertain not to take risks. People seem to think that being a singer/musician/artist is more of a risk than a regular job (it annoys me when people tell people with artistic dreams to get "real" jobs, lol) but really, how is a "real" job completely secure and certain? People often lose their jobs for reasons beyond their control, eg. companies go bust, companies downsize, workers get replaced by younger (and therefore cheaper) people or even machines, etc. People also get sick, or injured, or die suddenly....
I'm not being negative; my point is that pursuing your passion isn't really as big a risk as it may seem.... and sometime soon, you will have that wonderful, transcendent moment in which you will know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you did the right thing, and that you are fulfilling your destiny.
Good luck, Shannon xx

Thanks MeganJane!

If you're going to be sitting at a keyboard Shannon... it might as well be a
KORG! I can't stand flying a desk either; the most time I spend at a desk is
in front of Corel creating digital artwork. I now have my PC up and running
with a brand new 19" Windscreen monitor. Just need to get broadband on
Peace

I have a question. If you were really inspired to write some sort of provocative song, meaningful, but maybe a little on the "foxy" side, would using "foxy" pictures for promotion of the song then be rational?... Just curious about the artist's point of view.
Wait I'm confused.. is Manuel your boyfriend or something? haha

No, Manuel is "medic0803"! :lol: For furture reference, my boyfriend's name is Curtis.
I actually just finished a song about sex a couple weeks ago ... but it's pretty vague, nothing too provocative.
As for the photos, I have my own boundaries for how far I would go. I don't want to have a completely prude image, but I'm not the type to pose for Maxim.

I'd say a big fan :wink:

got to my dorm yesterday and your CD was patiently waiting on my desk! so excited... listened to it as I set up all my stuff. I was moving back and forth from luggage to closet or whatever but kept finding myself just stopping next to the speakers to listen. Really good stuff, and it's getting better with extra listens! You've got what it takes for sure...

Do you think you'll be saving any of these for your first major-label release? :D
I don't record a song until I love it, so I'd be willing to re-do almost any of these songs on a major label release in the future. In fact, that would be a dream come true!

That sounds like a page right out of ABBA's playbook. A lot of their compositions never made it to tape because if one didn't stick with them or they grew tired of one to quickly, they trashed it and went on to something else. They rarely if ever wrote down or recorded something if they couldn't remember it, because if it didn't stay with them, they figured it wouldn't stay with anyone else either.

In my opinion, they sound good enough to not need to be re-done... but I know major labels like everything done their own way. It should happen one day! (Hopefully in the not-too-distant future!) Will watch the video of YAG as soon as I can use a computer that it will work on, lol.

I was SO nervous at my last show (the one you see in my latest videos)...my boyfriend said he couldn't tell, but unfortunately I'm not as "into" it as I'd like to be. Other than that, I got through it, despite the nervousness. It was annoying, though!

Incredible performances.
Could you do "White Houses" and "Collide" in your next recordings????? :P :D :P :D
Also, how do you write your songs on the piano? Do you find it difficult coming up with the piano melody?

Hmm...we'll see. "Collide" was actually inspired by "White Houses." Perhaps I will put them in the same video, only playing a clip of "White Houses," since I don't know how to play the bridge. In any case, I'll be sure to put "Collide" up soon. :wink:

I liked seeing you play "The Road to Goodbye". It kinda added a new dimension to the song for me.

FYI - I put a brand new song up on myspace. It's called "Multiple Endings." If I know Nessa fans like I think I do, you guys will probably (hopefully) love this one. :D
-
I'm checking it out now. :D
-
Shannon I really like that song. Reminds me of "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" by John Mayer for some reason.
Lyrics? Are you making another album? Maybe just put a few songs on a CD, I would definitely pay for shipping and everything!

Thanks. :)
I will post the lyrics later today. No plans for a new album just yet. I will keep you informed, though. :wink:
-
Here are the lyrics:
I used to be scared that nothing would change
I was afraid of everything tame
It's all I knew and it's all the same
I'm still afraid
I used to light up at the thought of
Something to love, what was to come
I still have hope, but it doesn't grow
Soon it will fade
Chorus:
Climbing a staircase to the bottom floor
Tempted to wish I could forget what matters most to me
Locked in a room filled with open doors
Focused on the one that is closed
No one's letting me inside
I just try and try to think of multiple endings
Always asking why I need
More than what I have
I used to have time, is it too late?
I let my life get in the way
If I let go now, I'd be ashamed
I'd be ashamed
Chorus
I used to dream
I used to know what I would be
Chorus
Rockin' Guitar Solo
-
not an album, just songs that aren't on the CD that you have done. :D
-
you know I love what you do! The song is Brillant!
you finally finished that song? right? :wink:

Cool!~ and I'm listening to Multiple Endings right now... you're voice sounds great!

I have 4600 "friends" on myspace, but only interact with a small percentage of those people on a regular basis. As a semi-struggling musician, I'm looking for ideas on how to continually increase my fan base.
SO. I need to know what works for you!
What makes you a true FAN of an artist? Is it just the music or is it also something else? What keeps you coming back for more? Videos, blogs, updates, pictures...? Do you listen mostly to artists/bands who are signed with a label? What kind of merch do you buy, if any? Do you like it when musicians advertise on your page - or do you consider it spam? Are you into your local music scene? Do you prefer to buy entire albums or individual tracks? Do you think music is fairly priced? How do you discover new artists/bands?
Any input will help! If you have an opinion, I'd like to hear it. Feel free to go above & beyond those specific questions...they are just examples of the sort of things I'd like to know.
Thank you!
<3 Shannon
-
Shannon, I left a comment on your latest YouTube video. I like the song.
As for helping you with that... I only consider myself a fan of two or three bands/singers which are not signed to a major label (you being one...) I really base my fan-ness on the quality of music. It also helps to have a CD to look forward to. The anticipation is a sometimes frustrating, sometimes rewarding part of being a fan.
-
I'm really only a diehard fan of vanessa. Until recently I just hung around the boards when an album was about to come out or something. I really like reading posts from vanessa herself, that's what keeps me coming back. As for your questions... I listen to pretty much any type of music, signed or unsigned... although I do prefer to listen to music that has many layers of production. I don't really buy merch unless it's a poster. I like it when musicians advertise, actually... it's hard to keep on top of all the new news in the music scene, so it's helpful when the band lets you know when they're next album's going to be out or whatever. I'll but the whole album if I like the artist all around. I'll only buy the inidividual song of one-hit wonders and random party songs usually. I absolutely do not think music is fairly priced at the major label level, but I understand when indie musicians need to make money. Hope this helps :D
-
In addition to what I posted on MySpace, it usually help me when a band or artist comes to Memphis and I'm able to go see them perform. But that's by no means a requirement. :wink:
-
Thanks for your replies! :)
-
Hey, Shannon I LOVE your music !
I ordered a copy of your debut Brainstorms CD!
Hope I get it as soon as possible =)
-
Shannon is definately worth a listen :)
-
Reasons to bump this thread
1) Shannon is awesome
2) I love Shannon's music
3) Shannon is 8O
4) I could keep going and going... but
5) Shannon has a new song! :D &
6) I <3 it!
-
the battle has began my self vrs. me
:twisted: :twisted: 8)
-
:wink: its great! I think I shall buy it because it takes forever to load on MySpace. eh.
-
Thanks guys!
Myspace really screwed up the quality of the recording, though...could you tell? :?
-
Hey Shannon, I know these weren't made specifically for you, but made me think of your song COLLIDE...

Thanks guys!
Myspace really screwed up the quality of the recording, though...could you tell? :?
the volume constantly shifts from high to low and it starts pretty quickly, the first time I thought it was just the MySpace Jukebox kicking its self into gear like always, but it does it every time I play it. Other than MySpace totally messing up the quality, I love the song. You never let us down!

It's weird. Myspace messed this one up so much more than the others...I don't get it! Oh well. What matters is you guys like the song! :D
And, of course, if you buy the song the quality is top notch. :wink:
-
I'm going to buy it when I get my next check. :)

You are absolutely stunning Shannon, you really are!

I just bought four of your new songs through Snocap. It's so nice to hear they have BASS! (The MySpace player has really crappy sound quality.) I'll pick up more as soon as I have time and money. :D

Shiiiit, in the beginning of the year, I bought something from UK and a bloody Hacker got it and messed up my mom's credit card
So, since then, I can't buy anything internationally until I'm 18 and I'm still 17 and I can't believe I can't buy the new songs by Shannon, that's the most terrible thing of the world! I hate hackers.. Damn it
But they're really good good songs, Day by day Shannon gets her music better...
I'm really happy with your success!!!
You're the best and I'm the worst
-
I don't get all that mcuh time to check in that much these days but hope things are still going great!
-
Honestly, I wouldn't say it's going "great".
It's funny...when I first started writing songs, I thought all I had to do was write some 'hit' songs & I'd be golden. I realize now that I was wrong, but since then the music industry has also changed a lot. From what I hear, having great songs used to be (almost) enough, but now you really have to build a solid following, all on your own, before you get any label attention. I'm having a hard time finding my local fanbase because there aren't very many worth-while venues for my band here. I kind of don't know what to do next.
I'm constantly writing and recording and would love to release another album in the not-so-distant future. I'm not giving up, but I am definitely a little discouraged at the moment. The life of an artist really is tough. However, I must note that I am currently very lucky to be in a position where I can focus on my music career without having to worry about income. So that's a plus!

Easier said than done. :wink:
-
true... but then again I almost upped and left this summer to NY with my boyfriend and his best friend. We'd have been living in the city, 400 each for rent. id be workin a whole lot for sure, and id still be poor considering it is NY. I would be aiming for advertising tho, not music. that might throw in a wrench.
but i decided to take a year off, save up a lot of money so in 3 years when i finish school i can move to NY and have some security.
-
Yeah it must be hard :(. It just sucks tho the not so great singers get all these hits and what not..tho really good singers it seems like they don't get noticed..
Hm. Maybe you can get some of your songs on radio or something or talk to a record company?
-
I agree.

Nobody realizes how hard that is until they're trying to do it. First of all, most radio stations won't even play independent music. You have to be signed with a label - that's your "in". Labels pay for radio play! As for getting label attention, that's pretty difficult as well. There are thousands of artists competing for it...it's hard, but I'm going to keep trying.
-
Shannon, you should get into the next season of The Hills. Heidi is releasing an album. I bet ya 10:1 it'll sell like hotcakes.
I hear ya, though. You feel really confined in a town that isn't LA, NY, or even Nashville. But don't give up.

I want you touring BRAZIL and all the WORLD
And watching you being nominated for Grammy awards..

Wow...another reality star making an album. I should've seen that coming, I guess. :roll:

Hm I am not sure if this would work but you can sneek into an American Idol audition and they will see how awesome you are and record companies will want you..meh who knows. XD Ah who knows. Hm I wonder how like Nessa got a record deal tho.

Vanessa just met the right person who could help her...I'm hoping the same will happen for me. :)
I've thought about auditioning for "American Idol", but I think my songs are a lot stronger than my voice. :wink:
-
Double post. Move along....
-
Well, you're already one of my idols. 8) If only I still had the money and free time I once did, I would probably have already seen you live twice or thrice. I still believe it'll happen, though. Maybe not tomorrow or next month or, alas, next year, but it will happen. I wish there was some amount or work or some favor I could pull to help, but I know it doesn't work that way.

wouah!!! shannon thomas, you are absolutely awesome!!!
i love your songs!!! you are a future star! since when do you play piano and guitar? did you learn by yourself? or with a teacher?

Not unless you know someone in the biz. :lol: But seriously, being a fan really helps, so thank you!
And Alegna, I started taking piano lessons when I was 6, but have been learning guitar on my own (which is why it's going slowly). Thanks for the nice comments! :)

THOUGHT BATTLE
Pulling myself in every direction
Is there no content compromise?
One day I asked myself,
"What am I really fighting for?
Can't both sides of my mind agree...
On something?"
Chorus:
My head starts screaming, I'm trying to find
The words I'm needing, but, oh, in my mind
I am a nobody trying to be somebody
In this thought battle
Part of me refuses to give up
Part of me knows I won't have any luck
But there's a way, there's a place
There's a time, oh, it's a shame
It's not easy, it's not easy
Repeat Chorus
Facing the problem won't solve it
You are what you think
The battle has begun
Myself vs. me
Repeat Chorus
-
You are what you think
The battle has begun
Myself vs. me
love it! <3

Excellent performance of "Rose Colored Shades". It's my favourite song from you!
Any news on a new album?

Thanks...I guess that's the first video of that song that I've put up! I actually just posted 1 more video on youtube.
No new album in the works quite yet. But I will keep you informed.
:)
-
the new video is really nice! your vocals have improved a lot & the dark hair suits you!
i put 'brainstorms' on the other day. it's a really solid album. "rose colored shades", "collide" and "one or the other" are my standouts. <3 "the road to goodbye" is probably my favourite song from you though. <3
-
I love the videos! You look so good live. I really wish I could see you sometime.
-
Thanks! I wish all of you could come see me live...I don't have a local following at all! :(
-
Believe me, if I had a good enuff excuse to skip across Arkansas one day, I'd see you at a show, 5th in the 2nd row. 8)

Wow!!! i'm really impressed with this! this song is sooo hard to cover, i don't know why but this was amazing! :D :D :D

Shannon, you got me surprised this time
DON'T SPEAK was so great by you..
I want it in audio...

Thanks!

Thank you!

FYI, I posted a few videos from last night's show...and I will post more later! Be sure to check out my cover of "Leave the Pieces" by The Wreckers. :D
Interesting choices for your covers Shannon. Plenty of rationalle I'm sure!
As soon as I get broadband up and running I'll be able to restore my MP3
collection of your material to its former glory. It has been way too long :oops:

Wow, really? It's so slow...I could never see it as a single. lol. I have a few other songs kind of like that one, but most of them have yet to be recorded. The album is much more upbeat. Hopefully you'll like it anyway! :)
-
ok, I know I have said it before, but for some reasons 'More than this' reminds me of 'Unbelievable' also, 'Home' reminds me of 'Multiple Endings'

Hi Shannon
I am spending this Chritmas with a family, the head of whom knows a Talent
Scout that works for Sony BMG Australia; I might be able to hook you up with
Sony connections in NYC. I still have to find out more about this lead first ;-)

I know I came in really late to say this, but I LOVE your stuff, Shannon! (That's my mom's name, too, she's a really good singer as well) I wish I had some kind of way to buy the album because buying stuff over the internet is weird and difficult.
Merry Christmas everybody, by the way!

You could send me a $10 check, if you'd like, and I will personally send you a cd. :)
-
That would be so awesome, maybe you could sign it for me. Of course I'd have to go over that with my parents. I'd also want to know where to send the check and who to address it to.
If all works out, I'm excited to have your cd. Your talent is very obvious. :)

You can make the check out to Shannon Thomas and send it to:

^I hate that it took that long, but it's only 'cause you were in Brazil. If the purchaser is in the U.S., it only takes a couple days.
Oh, and I'd definitely sign the cd for you, Morgan. :wink:

I'm still writing new songs for the next album. I will probably start thinking about releasing another one when I feel I have all of the right songs, but I'm not sure when that will be. I'm going to be really picky this time around.
-
Awesome! Although I'm sure everything you come up with will be amazing. I just got Brainstorms today, I LOVE IT! I'm especially in love with Collide (duh!hehe), Edward, and Don't Be Beautiful. I love these songs because I probably relate to them the most. Can't wait to get to know the rest of the album. I need 2 copies one for my car and one for my house!!

I just saw the new official V board for the first time (I've never posted on the O board) and saw a thread for my music over there, with several very sweet comments. I know some of the people who commented are also on this board, so I wanted to thank you for that. :) It seriously almost made me cry! I actually took a few of the comments and posted them on my myspace page: www.myspace.com/shannonthomas ... I'd love to know who said what, so I can credit the quotes as well. :wink:
-
Lol, aw.
I wrote this quote; "Her 'brainstorms' album shits all over half of what's in the billboard top 100 chart. Why this girl doesn't have a record deal is beyond me."
And it's my first time hearing "Thought Battle" - it's hot!

I think I need help designing my logo for t-shirts and such. If anyone out there would like to try to design a logo for me, that would be wonderful! The thing is I'm very picky, so I was hesitant to even post this request, but I'm really not that great at this stuff. What I'm looking for is something unique that represents my music well (so including a piano in some way might work). Please use just 1 or 2 colors, so the product(s) can be affordable. There's a font called "hamlake" that I like (you can google it), but you don't have to use it, if you don't want to. Basically, I just want my name + some sort of design. No photos, please! I want it to look as professional as possible.
Of course I can't guarantee I'll use your design, but wouldn't it be cool if I did? :D
Thanks, in advance! I'm looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!

I think you should create your own sheet music, it's not that hard, and you would sell it.

^ I don't know how! And I honestly don't think it would sell that well. ^

XD Everyone on this thread would buy it!

I'd buy it but theres couple of problems...
1. I don't hae a piano, used to. I tried to find sheet music that I can print out for Vanessa Carlton and couldn't find anything. I did find sheet music for one of my fav. cartoons(the angry beavers)tried to play it on the piano and I don't know I just never stuck with it, I personally rather have someone sitting there with me and help me rather than I do it all by myself XD.
2. I don't know how to play the piano and I think I suck lol.

you let me know what timeframe between ordering online and delivery to
Australia? I'll ask my sister in law about getting some for my nephews :wink:

Certainly the first to buy your merchandise from down under :razz: I estimate
with a reliable dispatch service, that anyhting I order via zazzle will arrive
in around 11~15 days from the order date. You can be sure I will wear it
with as much pride as the 'Heroes & Thieves' t-shirt I made for myslef 8)

Yeah; I was working in both the restaurant and the bottle shop with Kookoo
when I started. It hasn't been busy enough for them to give me any hours
in the restaurant the last three weeks so I need to look for a 4th gig. I can
do more with Freelife (the Goji distributor featured in the poster below) or
Amway, once I get either a car or a bike so I can get around. My bike was
stolen Feb 9th and my car on the 17th. Fortunately the car is insured but I
didn't get insurance arranged for the bike in time so this beauty is lost :cry:

But wait, it gets beter! Tonight I after dinner I told my brother not to move
any of the CDs from the coffee table in the corner of the lounge until I had
finished manually removing Z..b with my registry utility. Patience not being
one of lil' bro's virtues, he decided to move all of the CDs to the linen cup-
board (WTF??) where upon moving the open-fronted 12-CD box, he tipped
it forward to fit it onto the shelf and dropped 4 CDs onto the only exposed
concrete in the entire appartment; in the linen cupboard next to the water
heater. The 4 CDs included Sade's 'Lovers Rock' and my 3 rarest CDs; :roll:

I had an appointment with my bank manager today where I was denied a
AU$6000 loan because I wasn't able tp estimate the income from Amway
or FreeLife. Banks only deal with PAYE income; the most tangiable tbere is
out there. They can work out a gross income and exactly what you'll have
left arfter tax. Beyond that potential income dosen't exist and you have to
do a David Copperfield to bring the bitch home. Anything you can swing 2

It gets better still Shannon; My lil' bro is officially incarcerated tonite! Yes,
that means he's doing time! (Hopefully a little more remorseful about the
damage done to the jewel cases of your's in my collection). The down side
is it took >6 hours of my sweet time to sort everything out in lieu of such

Yeah Shannon, you can add 'Nuisance' to the plethora of descriptors I've
used to describe him so far this year alone. 'Financial burden' is so much
more appropriate under his current circumstances. No chance I'll see the
$$$$$ he owes me now. He wasted 6 hours of my time yesterday, after
taking off with a set of keys. At least I could sit down to dinner by 8:30 :eatarrow:

line-up of talent willing to use their abilities to raise funds, and awareness
of the cause. Did you have any particular tunes in mind for this gig? LMK ;-)

Strange....I wonder why it's not working. Do you use a mac? I do & that myspace layout doesn't really work for me.
And to answer CelestialHorse's question: I have not written all the songs for my next album yet. The only ones that are DEFINITELY going to be on there are "Say What You Mean", "Back To Believing", "Done", "Thought Battle", "I'm On My Own", & "Tragic".

I'll be using a Mac Mini when I am after something portable, more reliable
than any PC-based laptop. For now I'm using a PC with an admirably fast
processor but only 256Mb of RAM (about 1/3 of what I need). Until I have
768Mb available my machine will always run into issues with IE7 where a
page just don't load properly; I'm in Perth tonight & your MS site is OK ;-)

'Sociopath' is more correct; although APD, or Antisocial Personal Disorder is
the preferred term by psychologists these days. The challenge is to find an
understanding and sympathetic body that will help me deal with such. With

Hi Shannon
How was €urope? If you've got any pics you can share here that'd be cool!
I have just started my third week in a new job. I have to go to Court 11 AM
tomorrow to find out what will happen to lil' bro. Hopefully he is given much
needed attention from Queensland Mental Health to get back on treatment
for his Bipoloar and hopefully start the road to recovery from a Manic Phase
Peace
Aaron

Wow, this thread has been so quiet lately! Is there any news on Shannon and her music? I love all the new songs, especially Back to Believing. I'm interested in hearing Shannon's older material, too. I have Brainstorms and it's awesome, but would anyone be willing to send me the songs from Something I Believe In? I'd be so grateful :)
-
Yeah hows everything going?
-
If you'd like to see pictures from my trip to Europe, go here: http://www.offexploring.com/curtiskline (p.s. There are also a couple of videos and blogs that my boyfriend posted!)
There isn't much to report, really. I've just been writing and recording - constantly, but at a snail's pace. I will be releasing another album in the semi-near future, but I don't know exactly when yet. Of all the "new" songs you've heard (meaning anything that's not on "Brainstorms"), which ones do you think should be on the album? Some songs are definitely going to make the cut ("Back to Believing", "Tragic", & "Say What You Mean", for instance), but the following songs are on the fence:
You're a Ghost
It Must Be Nice
Never Too Much
Asleep
Multiple Endings
Intruder
I'm really interested in your opinion, but please don't be mad at me if your favorite doesn't end up on the album. Any song that doesn't make it will be released individually through Snocap (on my myspace page). :)
I've said it before & I'll say it again: "The Something I Believe In" is very embarrassing!! I really wish I would've never released those recordings. :(
Thank you guys for your support. It's amazing to me that there are people in this world who really care about my music!
-
I really like "It must be nice" :D :D
-
From that list my favorites are Never Too Much and You're a Ghost :D
And I'm sorry, I don't mean to embarrass you, Shannon, by bringing up the old album again. I'm just interested in hearing some of your other songs that I haven't heard yet.
-
I can already tell everyone will have different favorites! :lol:
Today I uploaded a video onto my YouTube page: A cover of "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" ... www.youtube.com/shannonthomas ... The quality isn't good, but it's better than nothing!
-
Nice one Shannon! CCR's top 10 Billboard hit from 1970 is a classic no 'rain
song' collection would be complete w/o. A worthy cover. Thanks for posting

There are some really good songs on "The Something I Believe In", but I have to say that Shannon's skills, both in writing and performing, have come a long way since then. Don't look to see my copy on eBay while I'm still alive.
-
^ i love "the road to goodbye" on that CD.
'brainstorms' is a huge improvement though. the first cd was good, but 'brain...' is excellent!
-
I've actually thought about re-recording "The Road To Goodbye". I'm sure it'll happen someday.
-
Sad, I still haven't gotten your cd yet, haha.
But that's okay, one day I definately will. I just bought a Epiphone G400 (guitar) recently, so I really don't have any money, but my birthday is in two days...

While my song "Edward" was NOT inspired at all by the Twilight series (I simply had a crush on a boy at school), the fact that people think it's about Edward Cullen has only helped get my name out there a little bit more. So I figured I would fuel the fire and make this little promotional video, which uses stills from the upcoming "Twilight" movie, with my song in the background. Please repost this wherever you can! Thanks.

Looks Fantastic Shannon :-* Nice artwork on the album cover as well. I've just bought a Wacom Bamboo Fun (6 x 9), and have paired it up with Corel 12 so expect to see that album cover reworked for a SIG very soon. I'll have internet back on at home this afternoon after 190 days without it and would love to catch up if you have Skype 8) 6 months at my new workplace have made up for web-isolation down here!

WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

I knew this question would be asked...
The subject matter of "It Must Be Nice" is quite painful for me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to eternalize it by including it on this album. Maybe I will release it in the future. Time will tell. (Please don't hate me!)
I love "Intruder". I didn't include it because there are several songs basically about the same thing already on the album. Again, maybe someday...
I hope you understand. I had to do what I thought was best. ;)

FINE!!!!!!!!!!
But I gotta get those songs somehow! ;D

Hi Shannon
I'll be hosting a "House-Warming" party here on Monday April 27 and would like to take the opportunity to do
a bit of PR for you while I'm at it. The guest list will have at least 24 on it, with the condition that bonafide
guests will be allowed to bring a friend so long as I know them (and aren't likely to trash my place that nite).
(http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/47/l_38642351bc614182a51ecfcece321317.jpg)
I thought if I sent you a Western Union Transfer and got you to send a couple of copies of Glass Doll to me,
I could use at least one of them as a door prize on the night. Let me know what you think of the concept
and which URLs I should direct everyone to (i.e send them somewhere like your myspace and get them to
post links back on their myspace / facebook / blogs etc. to promote your music and the new album, all the
while gaining further exposure for you in Australia, and where ever my friends have contacts online) ;) :-*

Sweet.. I will be getting an iPhone as a remote for my Mac Mini once I get that organised as as upgrade from my PC-based system. I'd tweak the artwork for Brainstorms myself for an iPhone wallpaper, but now
I need to design an advertisement (featuring Glass Doll) and get the invitations to my April 27th party out!

I suppose as I don't yet have my Mac Mini, a direct file transfer is less easy... unless of course you install
Skype 2.7 for Mac OS X at your end. The software can be downloaded for free from the link below;
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/ (http://www.skype.com/download/skype/macosx/) ;D
Once you have Skype on your Mac, its as easy as selecting 'search for skype users' from the contacts menu
and adding nessaussie as my Skype Name in the search field.
You can then use the Send >> File option to transfer your files directly via Skype. This would be the best
way for you to get the files to me... I just need them in a format that I can use in Windows Media Player

Hi Shannon
Now that I have the Wacom Bamboo Fun stylus & mouse both at home, I was able to knock up a prototype
for the obverse side of the lanyard tag for the party, I'd like to make it something guest will souvenir so the

Hi Shannon
It looks like my party is going to have to be re-scheduled to May 11; my flatmate is moving back to Melbourne
and asking for his half of the bond before I've even had the chance to advertise for a new co-tennant. Rent is
also due in 6 days, and then there's the hire-purchase of the new car to sort out. May 11 will also double as a
send-off party for my Sommelier superior at work who is moving on after 3 years in the position. It should be a
great night! I can't wait to see the responce to your music from the guests attending. Thanks in advance ;D
Peace
Aaron

Hi Shannon
I''m back in Melbourne at the moment, but returning to Daylesford thisarvo, before a quick sortie to Ballarat to look at a new set of wheels and pick up a new lounge set for my workmate. I should be able to finish of the lanyard design tonight, and post a copy of it back here. Then I will be able to maximise the exposure for you online down under, without have a whole bunch of gate-crashers rocking up on my doorstep on May 11th :o ;)

its actually finished, I will be doing as much to promote the May 11 gig as those attending. It will be special

That version of "Never Too Much" is the one that will be on the album. If any changes will be made to it, they will be unnoticeable, minor things.

Hi Shannon
It looks like there will be lots of distractions Monday 11, with most of those invited to the party at my place
coming from an event somewhere else earlier that night. At least this will help keep the number of guests I
have to cater for food-wise to a managable number, and keep the beverages flowing until well into the nite.
In lieu of the cellar content arriving on my doorstep this week, I've decided to make a Sushi & Riesling nite
out of the evening with regard to the catering concept, the entertainment will be left to your very own
"hot off the press' copy of Glass Doll via Skype, and hopefully a very receptive audience in attendance 8)

need to replace 3 of the other 4 as well, so I might be doing this later in the week now, like Friday if I get a chance to get back over to Ballarat. At least I'll have numbers RSVP'd by then, and the wines will be here
Peace

Congratulations Shannon :-*
Glass Doll was very well recieved by those in attendance; the night turned into a later sitting with almost all
of the guests arriving after 8:00PM. The AFL Match in Melbourne proved a significant distraction, with 2 of
those that had RSVP'd either still down there afterward or too stuffed to make there way back to Daylesford.
Over And Over proved to be the surprise packet of the night... totally addictive in every repsect, and no-one
was satisfied with just a single repeat perfomance; the kind of track (esp. given the guitar) that audiences
would be happy to wait for an encore for. Enchanting is not a descriptor I use often, but appropriate here :o

Thanks for the feedback - sounds like it went well!
I'm pleasantly surprised that "Over and Over" was such a favorite. ;D

I am jealous! AHHHH! :D

Hi Shannon
Just so you know, Elzane (who's B-day it was on Monday) caught up with her Eszterhazi Torta tonight... I
had to wait until today to take it into work, b/c she had been in Melbourne the last two days. She was so
happy that I had staged an event on her B-day, even if she was out of town and couldn't attend, and that
I had gone to the effort of making a B-day cake for her (see pic below). Let me know if you can send an
extra copy of Glass Doll once you finish mastering the CD and have it pressed, and I will get one for her :-*

Hi Shannon
I don't start work until 4 tomorrow arvo, so I should be able to knock up a promo-SIG. With regard to the
response here on Monday night, Over and Over will definately be the featured placement. Throws up really
interesting inspiration for graphic elements though; you can be sure I will be listening to it whilst making it

you MADE that? that's AMAZING

you MADE that? that's AMAZING
If I had discovered my ability in the kitchen before my ability to recognise quality in wine, I would have likely
become a Chef rather than a Sommelier... the advantage I now have, is that I can work front of house where
there is more involvment with the audience of the restaurant, but still get to talk the talk and walk the walk
with the Chefs in the kitchen. I have been asked at least 5 times already if I would like to work in the Pastry
section of the kitchen due to my ability with desserts. I've declined as I am happier out front at the pointy
end of the equation. At least I know the Chef on the recieving end of this Birthday cake will be up for making
mine when November comes around (its sure to be a fantastic retort as there is so much in season then) :P

If I could be a pastry chef, I totally would! I suck at baking, cooking, everything in the kitchen. :-[ Indeed, that was a beautiful cake you made!

I'm surprised... it's a cake from my home country and the wine's also hungarian!
Where do you get the idea to make that? :O

Where do you get the idea to make that? :O
a) I was planning on taking annual leave this year to Austria & Hungary (my trip has had to be postponed
until next year because of the amount of salary staff applying for annual leave at the same time in 2008).
b) I am a hooj fan of Tokaji (sweet) wines and the range of desserts one can match with them
c) I have a cook book titled "Culinaria Hungary" which features Budapast favorites including the above
d) I knew I could make a lasting impression on a chef (well qualified in pastry, that has seen time in Europe, but not in Hungary), by making such a dessert as a Birthday Cake for her ;)
e) I had the distinct advantage of working in the kitchen with the inspiration of Glass Doll to listen to :o

Hi Shannon
I had to go to Melbourne for a wine tasting, so I didn't get a chance to finish the new sig today. I have some
prep to do to save the forest mushrooms I have been given to turn them into potato & mushroom lasagna...
this will keep me fed for the rest of the week. As I will finish earlier tomorrow I should be able to get the new
sig up. Thought of some new ideas for it whilst driving to Melbourne playing Glass Doll (on repeat) in my head

Hi Shannon... so much for an earlier finish tonight! 00:45AM before I got away from work. I then came home
and made dinner. When I tried to run the streaming audio across your myspace, I had to upgrade the copy
of Flash Player I had on the PC here for anything to work, and when I re-booted it, Corel Photo-Paint almost
refused to start (to get it working, I had to select a graphic file from the desktop with file, open with). Now I
must crash, but here's a couple of elements for the new SIG; the b/g followed by a layer I'll use to color text
elements in the sig with (you can pull text through a mask to leave it with the color of a foreground overlay);

^Sounds great!^
This album is taking FOREVER to finish. I only meet with John a few hours a week, so the whole thing is moving at a snail's pace. I feel really bad, but there's nothing I can do about it. :-\
Hi Shannon
I tweaked the gif I made, adding more frames. It looks fantastic now, but just one more question... do you
have an ETA of pressed copies of the CD? I've made a point of not sharing the files you sent me other than
for the launch; obviously I'd much rather my friends go to itunes to get a copy. I'm on holiday in 18 days ;)

The gif looks good!
It will still be at least a few more weeks until the album is available on my website. It will be MONTHS until it shows up on iTunes. :-\

Thanks for the update Shannon; now I can remind those at the launch here just how exclusive it was ;)

Oooooh very nice .gif! :D

So Any update! ;D

I FINALLY got the cds in today! Those of you who get a free copy (who have TSIBI): Your copy will be mailed out tomorrow! Anyone else who wants a copy can order it from the new version of www.shannonthomas.net ... hopefully we'll have it up tonight.
Thanks again for your patience. I really hope you guys think it's worth the wait!

Hi Shannon
Just a quick note to remind you how much I enjoy Glass Doll... I just came back from a 15-day holiday interstate. The
hire car I had was equiped with a CD player that recognises .MP3 & .WMA files, but I'm yet to burn your tracks to CD.
Returning lastnight and being able to rock on to Glass Doll made me appreciate how much I missed it (I have nothing
of yours on my mobile either, so until I get the Mac Mini, having a mobile juke box is a while away yet). Love ya work!
Peace

Hi Shannon
Although I've been using eBay since 2003, all my transactions have been direct deposits. I've just registered with Pay
Pal so will have to wait for the confirmation process to take its course. There is also a facility in Skype to send funds
via Pay Pal, so it made sense to sign up. I may be moving before the end of August, so I'll try to place the order ASAP

Hi Shannon
The 'new look' official webby is amazing... I can't wait until I get the Mac Mini & Corel X4 and can produce artwork like
that without even trying hard ::) Best part is the catchiest tracks from GD feature at the front end of the introduction
(i.e. N2M as the third track). Be prepared for an unprecedented response to your material and hopefully sales to boot

Hi Shannon
Just about to send you a PM with an address for the copies of GD other than the one I registered at Pay Pal with... its
proving almost impossible to find a share option here to reduce the rental expense. As much as I'd like to stay here in
Daylesford, finding new staff for the kitchen (most ideal share option) is proving such a challenge, even the owner has
asked me if I knew of any Queensland-based chefs that would be interested in a position here at the Lake House :o

Hi Shannon
Thanks for the reply. I'm still waiting on a package to arrive that I mailed to myself last Tuesday (its supposed to take
4 working days to arrive), from Queensland. Certainly has done nothing to increase my faith in Australia Post, as I've
lost orders during shipping previously, so this is concerning. Hopefully the copies of GD don't suffer such misfortune :P
Peace
Aaron

Hi Shannon
Thank you for the confirmation of transaction e-mail. I'm more than happy to be one of the '1st 50' to order Glass Doll
& will be delighted to share the 2nd copy that I've ordered with someone deserving. "It Must Be Nice" indeed ROCKS!
As for restoring my faith in Australia Post, I might have to wait until early next week when I have time to chase up the
missing package from my home phone (I don't expect to get any strait-up answers as to why they didn't try to contact
work if there was an issue at their end with the package). As for the copies of Glass Doll, all I can say is God Speed ;D
Peace
Aaron
-
Hi Shannon
Don't know about a faster delivery (at least at the Aussie end) of GD... the only way Aus Post could explain the time it
took to deliver my Boomerang (it arrived today), is if they had re-instated a form of transport that made its last run in
1924 (unless you count the 1963 run between Cooktown & Melbourne), which proved a Qld - Vic delivery was viable!

Got my copies of Glass Doll last night; the package had not been 'delivered' to me sooner b/c I do not have a pidgeon
hole in the front office at work, so it was slotted into the F&B Manager's pidgeon hole instead. He just got back from
a fortnight's holiday, so I have no idea when it actually arrived other than to say I'm thrilled to have the 1st copies of
Glass Doll in Australia! I'm so happy to have been able to get hold of the bonus track by ordering early... it ROCKS ;D

...Ouch, if everyone here has been as busy as I have for the last 3 months, then that might be some excuse. However, now that I have a Mac Mini & can start do get my work done smarted and a whole lot faster, I should have more time to enjoy Shannon's music and share feedback here. I gave signed copy as a Christmas gift, and have been enjoying my copy in the CD player of my new car for at least the last fortnight. Glass Doll ROCKS :-*

Hi Shannon
I just thought I'd let you know I've finally been able to tee up an electonic keyboard here. I have a friend who no longer has the time to spend on their
Kawai X110, so they have agreed to loan it to me. Whilst its only a 61 key model, I figure it would be a great place to start out. Now that I have the Mac Mini, with iGarage soon to be added (as part of iLife), I have a computer set-up that can handle every bit of creative input I throw its way.
Please remind me again where I should be looking for sheet music of your songs, and if there is some other Mac-based software for electronic sheet music that you could refer me to.
Peace
Aaron

She's so great! le sigh..

Does she still post here? I'm currently in town, in a shop, with her song "JUST SO YOU KNOW" playing over the speakers! :S In England too!
She got a record deal now or something?!
