Now hold on just a minute…I’m not trying to be all high and mighty and say I don’t care what people think. I’ve got an ego just like everyone else, and I love when people think I’m awesome. All I was saying was that I should be paying more attention to what I want to do rather than the expectations are. And that it’s OK if I don’t go to Sidewalk until I’ve got some new shit to play them…

In terms of barely audible, I’ve actually been pretty OK. My enemies have been “extra elements,” and “totally different feel.” I keep wanting to throw in yet another harmony, or redo that drum track to make it hot-hot-hotter. What can you do? I must appease the beast within.

Evan, that recording will come eventually. I feel like it needs to get the love it deserves, and these tracks with Lin are helping me learn about just how to give it that love. I promise you will be the first to hear it when it’s done. And probably numerous times before that.

It’s been happening a lot lately.. whenever I ask my friends at the sidewalk if they remember seeing a guy at the piano with big puffy hair (ie., you), they all enthusiatically exclaim “Oh, yeah! That guy was awesome!!” I know that you are only in it for your own appeasement and not for what the public thinks, but I just thought you should know all the same.

Hey the magic of doubling your vocal takes, hunh? Welcome to the world of musical madness. Fear the enemy known to me as “barely audible”, for that can sap up hours of time fixing up levels and redoing takes with minimal effect. “Barely audible”.. I *shun* thee!!

best, eocs

The whole shit is hot, my friend. Those who hate on Speakerboxxx will rue the day they crossed the Daddy Fat Sacks.

In other news, while you’re getting shit done, how about that full-length recording of If We Were? I gotta say, the “extended” version (all 1:36 of it) is getting a little stale. I want the whole thing, not just the biscuit.
