I guess I will have to scratch that part of my last report where I claimed that i finished recording on my birthday. That would now classify itself as withholding of truth. So I'm going to set the record straight. I unintentionally lied. I wasn't done. I thought I was, but what do I know? Here, just look at how I draw without a mouse as an example. So I'm no authority on perfection. But I do try.
I went over the running order, and something really bothered me that I could not pinpoint. Everything worked, the tempo map was a success without even checking it, and the mood was good. But something kept nagging at me. Well, two things. The first thing that was eating at me was that this EP was slowly turning into an albeit shorter album. And as such, it is already completely obliterating the second EP which is nowhere near in scope to what this has become. Never mind the experimental bits and all that. You see, I learned something valuable here. Here, let me distract you with another drawing... 
There is no going back. You cannot go to the old songs, re-do them and make believe you are there, in 1988 writing them out for the first time. You can attempt it of course, and I did. I worked hard on them. But the lessons along the way, the stories the songs themselves weave, etc... All of the work changes, or enters into, the present day. It has to. Otherwise, the collection would be nothing more than remnants, and that was something I was trying to avoid. In some sub-conscious fashion, I felt it was a flaw. It was nagging me that I was somehow unable to merge that 1980s past with the present day, and, dare I say it, the future.
But a few days ago all of this came to an interesting end. I wound up letting it all go. I decided, that no matter what, I would have to maintain my real spirit from now on, in light of all that is going on in the world, no matter what the state of the music industry is in, no matter who comes knocking on my door. And that's when the magic began. I wrote for what is there already, to lift it away from where it was sitting. And now I feel it is really happening. This is a short album.
And I'm now almost finished. I even have B-Sides now. And a plan. I know. You read all this and I've revealed nothing. Too early. You'll see. You will own this album and be happy.
