That's exactly what I'm trying to get my Sellaband believers to do anyway... they signed up there because they wanted new music from me, well <a href="http://matthewebel.net" rel="nofollow">matthewebel.net</a> is the way to get it!

If you'd still like to help build the studio, though, I certainly won't object. Thanks!

Just tell me where to send the money order, because I refuse to do most any online payment unless absolutely necessary. I'm down to donate towards speakers and sound treatment.
