hey, i did a couple covers for some reason just lately so i've packaged them together for free in the AUDIO DOWNLOADS section of the Dntel page, just click on COVERS 2 7" (the first Covers 7" is made of real vinyl, released on Plug Research under the James Figurine name). One is of Kix's "Don't Close Your Eyes" and the other's of Psychic TV's "The Orchids." At some point i'd like to have someone who can sing better do the Kix song- i can't really hit the high notes and it comes off kind of jokey instead of epic. ok happy may! jimmy

Happy new year! For January i've posted a remix of the James Figurine song "Apologies" by The One AM Radio. The One AM Radio will be releasing a collection of remixes soon on Plug Research (www.plugresearch.com) and you should also hear their last record, "This Too Will Pass" (www.dangerbirdrecords.com). Thanks to the One AM Radio and Plug Research for letting me post the mix for a couple weeks, i'll be taking it down on the 19th. (go to jimmytamborello.com, then under PROJECTS choose DNTEL, you'll find it on the dntel page in the AUDIO section) jimmy 1-5-2008

JAMES FIGURINE MP3 FOR FREE I decided to put up a James Figurine MP3 this month but it's still in the Audio Download section of the dntel site. It's called "The Worst Thing." it was the first song i made for the Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake record but it ended up not making the cut so it never made it out of demo world. ok happy holidays :) jimmy 12-14-2007

NEW SONG TO DOWNLOAD ON THE DNTEL SITE hellllo. i want to try and start posting new, unfinished or unreleased tracks up in the AUDIO section of the Dntel site that you can download, hopefully one track per month. as i add new songs i'll probably take down the older stuff so DOWNLOAD WHILE YOU CAN. OR ELSE Most of the stuff i put up won't be totally finished and definitely won't be mastered so it might sound a little weird. You'll probably have to turn it up a little extra. but it's free :) oh and it won't just be Dntel related tracks that I post there, i'm sure there'll be some James Figurine stuff and who knows what else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
