Every day I am lucky enough to spend time with my marvellous husband, the American. And whilst I try not to sound like a total braggart, he inspires me. Every single day. He inspires me to create and live the way we want to.

Since the American resigned his post as a full-time golf pro, he’s been much happier and life is good. He’s creating a tonne, and has thrown himself into creating as much content as possible for his new (well, newly revamped) website at CommunistComics.com.

And so now, to the big news:

I wanted to share with you something we (very loosely me, more so the American’s doing) have been working on over the past month or so. The world premiere of our new EP! WOOOO!

We’ve called ourselves The Dhalies {DAH-lies}. And this is our first official offering to the music gods, called ‘Pleasing With You’. We recorded this in our living room/bedroom/studio in our box in the sky here in the big City and County of San Francisco.

We want to share this experience with you, and have made it available in a free download. Whoa! Catchy pop tunes for all! All tagged and ready for import into iTunes.

Now, the download can be a little tricky (until we are ‘in the money’ , we can’t afford the $50 hosting for MP3s a month!) , so we’ve hosted it offsite. Just follow the instructions, and you’ll be apples. I have done it myself, and can guarantee there’s no issue with any crazy pop ups or viruses, even though it looks a little dodgy. The bottom line is that it’s just not as straightforward as we’d like. So thanks for your patience in advance.

My favourite song is one called ‘Puppy Sale’. I came home from work one day, and my talented husband had written me a song! And it was about PUPPIES! Swoon.

And if you have some more time, check out James’ other stuff at Communist Comics: ‘Larry & Gary’, video of his comedy sets and he’s just about to upload a funny animated cartoon he made about a pizza tray. Pretty funny stuff…

I envy the American’s talent, and am so fortunate I get to create with him each and every day.

So… what did you think of our first EP?

I’d love your feedback on our first effort. There’s plenty we’d love to change or do over with better equipment, but nevertheless, we’re pretty proud of our effort. Well, I am so proud of the American — I can only claim some back up singing.

Yay for the Dhalies!
