Hi everyone and hope you're having another great week so far! It's Wednesday which means another track from Better Than The Book's new Hopes and Dreams album is now up on Newgrounds! This time it's track 05 "Brighton" all about my favourite city by the sea! Check out the link below for nostalgic and summery vibes about fond memories growing up on England's south coast! Enjoy!

On top of that, it’s been another crazy week for radio features! Better Than The Book made its debut on Button Down Radio on Sunday, and there’s still a few more chances to catch “Artificial Ignorance” in the Featured This Week segment before they refresh the playlist this Sunday. Check out the Facebook post below for more details:

That makes 4 out of 10 tracks from Hopes and Dreams to have been featured on the radio so far! Amazing times, and a huge thanks to all the shows and stations who have been playing them! I’m so happy you’re enjoying the new music!
Finally this week some major updates on my Patreon page: "Announcing REWARD ARCHIVE posts for 4/10/2018 -> 7/8/2019 including the full Better Than The Book Discography & more!"
Today I announce the first set of "Reward Archive" posts for the convenience of Patreon supporters and new patrons!
You can now use the tag "REWARD ARCHIVE" to access posts which summarize and collect all the rewards for your tier from October 4th 2018 to August 7th 2019, instead of having to search through posts manually to find the past rewards for your tier when you sign up!
These months' rewards cover the full discography for my ska punk / pop punk project Better Than The Book (as of August 2019), and the posts are there for your convenience so you can pick up all these rewards (Mp3s, WAVs, artwork and more depending in your tier) in one place!
Become a monthly patron for as little as $1 to access all the music so far (including a few Patreon exclusive downloads) as well as all the music to come in the future while you remain a patron!
Check out the full post on Patreon for all the details and thanks so much for supporting Better Than The Book, Jabun and my various music projects on Patreon!

That’s it for the news this week (so far)! Next week we'll be onto track 06 of the album and the beginning of Hopes and Dreams side B, but before then, I'm sure there'll be many more pieces of news to share! Until the next one, have a great rest of the week and thanks as always for supporting Better Than The Book and my projects! Take care!
