Into the Public Domain, by Michael Hampton

My order is now nearly 3 months old. Two inquiries directly to the artist went on answered. My first inquiry to Bandcamp also went unanswered. I just reached out to bandcamp a second time today.

What is this, 2002? Back then I was desensitized to the reality of items simply getting lost or not arriving or sellers being sketchy. But I think I have about a 100% success rate ordering things online over the past decade or so. It’s frustrating that this has to be the one to break that streak.

It’s frustrating when they don’t even reply. Especially when it’s an artist you wanna support.

I have Michael’s new CD. I believe it’s an EP featuring music that he plays with a new instrument, called a Metatone? (Correct me, if I’m wrong!) It’s, in my opinion, another cool entry to the P-Funk canon’s most recent chapter.

Are you talking about the Guyatone/LG350 EP?
