JASON FEDDY: CONNECTED W/ SIGNED ARTWORK
Several years ago, Jason Feddy found himself washed up on the shores of Laguna Beach, in exile from a life of excess in Northern England. Feddy was reeling from several personal and professional failings, including the loss of his publishing contract with Zomba UK and a major label demo deal that dissolved unceremoniously in a dead end. Earlier, Feddy had high hopes for his career. Several well-known labels courted him after being featured in magazines such as the London based Time Out. Feddy also created a buzz by opening for David Gray, Ben Folds Five and Neil Young. But eventually the labels passed, citing reasons tied more to marketing than music. Soon, the accolades dried up along with the touring opportunities and other offers. Dejected, Jason Feddy ditched his guitar and packed his bags. "I was emotionally spent," recalls Feddy. "I tried to make a go of it in England, but I was up to no good. I just needed to get the hell out of there." Within days, Feddy found himself working thousands of miles from home at the Orange County Swap Meet.
It was at this expanse of knick knacks and Ginsu knives that he was befriended by a group of local musicians including bassist David J. Carpenter and drummer Evan Stone. As the backbone to solo artist John Doe's rhythm section, Carpenter had a good sense that something was brewing with Feddy. "Jason reminds me of the guy Dennis Quiad played in The Rookie," says Carpenter. "He should have made it years ago with his talent, but it just hasn't happened. But instead of throwing fastballs, he's writing and performing songs with an unusual amount of depth and introspection." "He's an interesting character," adds Stone. "I was drawn to Jason and his story. At the time, I wasn't sure if his story was true, but for some reason I didn't care." Soon, Stone and Carpenter convinced Feddy to check out their home studios and lay down a few tracks.
During the first session, an emotional ballad called "Birds Will Sing" was recorded in one take. "I was blown away," recalls Stone. "I still get goose-bumps thinking about it. The recording was magical and I knew we had to do more." Before long, an album was recorded and a live band was formed. "I think it's destiny that Evan and Dave found me at the swap meet," says Feddy. I was a bit out of it at the time, and they got me thinking about music again." This time around, Feddy isn't waiting for the major labels to come calling. He's releasing the album on the independent Something Something label. "This is the first time in my career that I've recorded a real album," says Feddy. Before this, it was all a mish mash of demos recorded for the wrong reasons. He adds, "I'm excited about getting it out there." The singer/songwriter has his expectations in check, however. "Whatever happens, happens." I've come to realize that I love music and that no matter what, it will be a major part of my life. I'm cursed and blessed. And the cursed part gives me lots to write about."

The Birds Will Sing Your Name
For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
