War of the Worlds Is Now on Audible.com

The radio-drama style adaptation I did of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds is now available on iTunes and via audible.com.

It's kind of exciting even to be buried on iTunes, where it's interestingly easier to find if you search for Sidney Williams and look for the War of the Worlds (dramatized) title in the results mix.

You'll see there's a blues man named Sidney Williams, too. Although Mississippi Shivers sounds like something I'd come up with, thass not me, man. Would that I didn't have a tin ear.

Happily the price on the War of the Worlds adaptation is now around $10 and cheaper on iTunes or with an Audible membership plan.


As I've probably mentioned here before, the dramatic portions of the program were recorded in Great Britain. I got to talk to the actors, headed by Martyn Tott, in a phone conference while some scenes were recorded, which was kind of fun and exciting.

Check it out if you like.

This would be great to listen to for Halloween.

Thanks, Charles. Hopefully it's an exciting movie in sound as Troy Thayne, the producer, describes it.

Excellent man -- easy access!!! I just checked Yahoo Music (I'm a renter, not a buyer in most cases), but they don't have it yet. Yet, there's hope, becuase there's a lot of overlap on the systems. If it takes too long, I may have to hit up Audible...

I don't know when it will get to Yahoo or emusic or some of the others, but it's nice any time it moves into a new venue.

I guess I hope it's not a torrent, though. You kind of understand where the musical artists are coming from when things go digital.

Yeah, a couple days after The Simpson's movie came out, an unnamed relative gave me a torrented DVD copy of it. I was actually planning to go see it on the big screen, but since he gave me the illegal copy...

I'm a stauch believer in DRM and other security measures. Once you let the "free" genie out of the bottle, it's hard to stuff it back in. And if one more person justifies it by talking about how much money the record industry makes, I'm gonna scream. I've no love for the record industry, but let's face it folks, they take their cut BEFORE the artists get paid!That goes the same for movies and books. Are we in trouble yet?
