…monkey…monkey…SHARK!
You guys. You’re awesome. Thanks to everyone who’s pre-ordered a CD so far. Thank you thank you thank you. I’m gonna have to get cracking on that bonus CD.
I’ve put a widget on the right-hand sidebar where you can see the sharks and pirate kittehs and winged monkey heads roll by. I’m really glad I added that stuff (I almost didn’t) because it’s a lot of fun to watch the animal icons pop up. When the first shark-with-lasers popped up I about jumped out of my skin. With joy! And a bit of terror!
Jim and I finished mixing the last song of the album Monday night, and Jim proposed a killer track order that I didn’t even consider. I’ve been listening to a CD-R copy on repeat and making notes for some final tweaks to the mix before mastering. Then I gotta scramble to get all the liner notes and artwork together — only the cover art is finished. (Crap, what am I going to put on the backside of my CD??)
I’m also considering throwing at least one semi-obscure cover song on the album, if I can just decide on what that song is. I have a long list but none of them feel quite right. So don’t hold me to that.
Still much to do, but it feels very much within reach now…











I’m very pleased for you that it’s working, that’s great news!
I wish I could’ve dropped the cash for a SuperMegaGiant Destruct-O-Beast, just to see if you’d actually come to the UK to play a gig!
Curse my lack of savings and general poverty - even with the current exchange rate. :(
