Hey there! Since iTunes still hasn’t let independent artists into the party yet, I can’t tell you where to follow me or where to find me on Ping. I’m on there as a person, but I don’t think that counts just yet. So while I wait for any sign that iTunes cares about anyone but EMI, BMG, and other TLA’s, please help me out by “Like”-ing my stuff in the iTMS!

Just visit http://matthewebel.com/itunes and hit the “Like” button for any albums of mine that you like. Thanks!

My name is Dexter Jared Peterson.

I am twenty-six years old and I live in New York City. In the last seven years I have lived as 201,573 different people.

I watched another man die today, this one a pirate who personally disrupted shipping around Jamaica for the past year. He targeted my company’s tea shipments almost exclusively, though I can’t imagine what offense this cretin would begrudge me. It’s not easy being wealthy.

I received grave news from the expedition I dispatched to what we’ll call “Colombia” in another hundred and fifty years. All but one man has vanished and I fear the last soul that entered that temple may have disappeared shortly after sending the letter.

God, I wish they’d discover coffee already.

The Lives of Dexter Peterson is Matthew Ebel’s upcoming album, book, and graphic novel scheduled for release in 2011. If you want to know more about Dexter and who he is at any given moment, grab an All-Access or higher pass at www.matthewebel.net

That’s right, the long-awaited Christmas EP from Matthew Ebel is finally available on this planet! Not only are there 5 brand-new songs from Matthew Ebel, The High Orbit Holiday Special is a full-length episode featuring robots, space battles, horrible puns, and interstellar satire.

Buy it for yourself or use the iTunes Gift feature to make this a virtual stocking-stuffer for anyone who needs a good laugh this Christmas season.

Buy Now via iTunes…

Because I’m so far behind on my goals for The High Orbit Holiday Special, I’m not doing a UStream show tonight. I know, I know, I hate canceling these things too, but I absolutely must finish this project today and this is the only way I’ll have time.

In the mean time, check out the album artwork and let me know what you think!
