Too much information

In keeping with the tradition set by earlier posts, I’ve uploaded some of the latest one-offs from my home recordings. Be aware, these little gems are recorded minutes after conception. Enjoy.

(earlier post with sketches: One, Two, Three)

[UPDATE: I know its a bitch to click each song, so I've posted them all as one big collection to listen one after the other]

Oh hey…

Hello again, kids. Over the past three years, I have amassed a large quantity of beats, melodies, and lyrics to be used on some mysterious project in the future. Like Dr. Dre, who has refused to release an album because of relentless sonic tweaking, I have consistently put off the difficult task of compiling all this bits and pieces into an honest-to-goodness album. The time has come, however, to lift the skirt of decency and unveil my true secrets. I will release an album in the first half of 2009. Consider it my offering to the gods that killed Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, and many other 27 year old icons.

But instead of having you hold your breath until that one fine day, I am going to asking for your help to pick and choose the best of the over 500 beats, rhythms, melodies, and lyrics, and be a part of the process from the beginning. If your reading this blog, I probably have a close association with you, and therefore, trust your opinion, musically or otherwise. If you were sitting right next to me, I’d ask for your feedback. Since you’re not, however, I’m going to post material to this address, and ask for your opinion; digitally. We’re all ripe brides anyway, waiting to be plucked and gathered.

So please join me in the mix.
