Working on one of the remaining tracks. I'm thinking this could either be really good or...I may have completely lost it.

I think I've lost it. Not sure whether I will find it. Not sure what 'it' is.

Right now, doing the mixing, gives me the freedom to try every idea. The downside of which is that not all ideas are equal.

I may have lost ma firkin gherkin here. I will contemplate the way.

New guidetrack went out. Which one will make it?

Also, busy patch coming up.

Also, site due for migration. I'm wondering what to do with the blog. Been doing this since 2008, originally so friends and family overseas and in combat zones could keep up with what we were doing. It was our 'social media' without all the spyware (except good ol google). Now that Mr X is out, Big Daddy has moved on to the Elysian fields and many of those we love and care about have moved to other things, I've been wondering if we will become more video oriented, notwithstanding the pause in production on Downtime.

True to the spirit of what we are, the guys still like making new stuff and I still like making videos. That's likely to remain consistent. Meanwhile, a little change is to be expected over time :)

AJ sent us back the Kid. This whole album has been such an amalgam of places people and things.

By my calcs, we have 3 more tunes due to make the number the boys consider an 'album'.

I can't say which one's will make the last cut. The production process has been pretty wild. The songs have been mutating in the mix, or forming in the mix. Yeah I know that's an intrinsic part of the process, just this is...a lot. More than previously. I think. 

This brings us to the last production sessions, then mixing, and then a listening party to see where we stand. With mixes from me, AJ and Ben, this reminds me a little of Curious Assembly. Almost there. Sort of. 

We'll be starting up live shows soon. And we can't do some of these songs live yet cos we got so many international guests to join us. I am not even sure we'll be doing some of these live. Well, under certain circumstances we would. We would need a bigger boat tho', to borrow a meme.

Stay well out there. We're doing our thing in here.

This is some sort of Zen test process, I am sure of it.

10/13 songs now sort of done.

From the ones in development, which ones will make it through?

I dunno.

I'd rather think about album stuff cos between Flooding, Wars and Shooting, it can all get to be a bit much eh?

Sooner or later, even these tempests pass. And until it does, we'll do our best to keep it calm and steady down here in the stormcellar, and dream of better days.
