Album Notes

THIS CD IS OUT OF PRINT. EIGHT COPIES will be available for sale to our friends here @ CDbaby. The last few will be auctioned off in a fundraiser to help AE release her second album. HEARTACHE IS BORING will be re-released with new artwork in the future, this is your last chance to snag one of the 1000 original pressings!

THANK YOU for your support.

++++

HEARTACHE IS BORING is singer/songwriter AINJEL EMME's very first full-length album (Winter 2003), independently produced and released to critical acclaim. A CDBaby Top Seller (Winter 2003). "Top 10 CDs of 2003" at KUT 90.5 FM (Staff Pick - Teresa Ferguson). Honorable Mention - "Top 10 CDs of 2003", Austin Chronicle. "Indie Song of The Year" - for "Easier" @ IACmusic.com

HEARTACHE IS BORING is treasured and traded by indie internetters worldwide. Only 1000 ever pressed. It's a shiny disc that you put in a weird machine that makes the air suddenly burst with song. Nifty!

AE is currently hard at work in Los Angeles on her new album, SONGS TO PASS THE QUIET HOURS.

A truly remarkable artist.
author: Tony G.
I'm so glad I bought this CD. I feel like I made an investment in something important. Miss Emme's unforgettable voice would lure sirens to their deaths, and I don't know of any other female pop singers out there that not only write but perform all of the instruments on their albums. Ainjel Emme is definitely the best kept secret in the Western US!

uneven but sublime
author: SJM
I'll say one thing, the woman can write a hook. Long As It's Sweet and Summer Life are easily the catchiest tunes - I couldn't get either of them out of my head for weeks. And though one or two songs are forgettable (especially the straining-toward-soprano Frozen Lake), it's, well, a hell of a lot better than I could ever do, and a good deal better than most of what's out there. Albums like this remind me that the difference between stardom and selling your own CDs is utterly random.
