So we have a date for recording drums.

That's usually the start not the finish.

This feels pretty weird. I get it though. first time our guide tracks have been to Tempo. Ish.

Otherwise Theo has had to set everything first.

Also, limited live gigging to roadtest tracks.

Thus here we are doing it this way. Ok. What exactly is it we're doing btw?

We've been toying with release types for a while and it's back on the menu.

'Album' (yeah?) vs 'Record (ok yeah makes more sense, like a 'record' of where you are at) and then 'Playlist' cos basically:

The CD is dead. (long live).

Vinyl is for cool kids and we're not that cool. See by definition....Ahem....

Radio is dead. Did I mention that? Not dead dead but a very sick parrot. Pining for the fjords as they say. Overtaken by podcasts and auto linking phones and cars that allow people to travel is a bubble of their own media choices.

Playlists, youtube.

Hi. Welcome to the 21st century, enjoy your stay.

To borrow from upcoming work - superhumans are not coming to save us. let's sing and dance until the robots replace us.

I have a bit of a vibe to release the first 6 songs as a single release. The the next one. Sort of. Why? cos we have the artwork and cos...maybe it doesn't matter anymore? There's no 'do this for this reason' to releasing stuff. Or it there?

Who knows.

Meanwhile, I had a blast making Devils Preacher and now I got a ping on for a few more story songs cos I already paid for the filters and they'd work.

Plenty to crack on with, as best we can. Sponsor the madness here: paypal.me/stormcellarband

Marketing department nailed this one. Back on Sunday.

Bah. I have a schedule.

Don't let your kids use spreadsheets, it leads to scheduling.

Worse, they could become a ...project manager. Also 'Bah' cos I now have a schedule.

And questions. So....thinking by blog.

1. We're aiming to release the 4 unplugged songs as an EP. Great. This last piece has now taken 3 guitarists 4 months to not finish it. I only need one guitarist for the right 4 minutes. Ok. No worries. Let's let that one sit.

2. We have so much stuff in the greenhouse we now have 5 separate project names for the various flavours. As I have Generative Image Bots, artwork is now AWESOME!!! Here's a sample concept for the EP.


3. We've got sample art for the stuff yet to come:

4. Gigs are few between at present, so we're not getting to roadtest all the tracks quite as much. Bah.
5. I have 6 tracks lined up for drums...do they go out as one thing? Does it matter? Does the concept of a 10+ track Album count?

'Moving at the speed of quality' - that's where we are at. What good work can we do and what good work can we do when we let it sit for a bit.

So I'm making a video instead while I wait.
