I"ve been chipping away slowly at an instrumental record that is still coming
along pretty nice I think.
Next week I'm moving into a new apartment and living by myself for a while,
and now that job wise I am very stable, and no long a student, I actually have
the time and space to dedicate to music again.
Something I haven't really talked about a lot with people is the fact that
I have to attend weekly therapy for an obsessive-compulsive disorder and
I am currently being supplemented with a daily cocktail of about 4 different kind
of medications to keep me in check, or at the very least to prevent me
from entering a manic state (which is ugly), and this is going to continue
for at least another 2 months.
The doctor I am talking to strongly suggested I spend more time on music
as he feels it is a creative outlet for me; rather than saying drinking and fighting
or screaming at people.
I was going through a directory of music I made and abandoned over the last
6 years or so, and it just hit me like a ton of bricks that I basically have a
pretty lengthy album finished and sitting right here on my hard drive; why the
fuck is it just sitting here on my hard drive?
I think my first order of business next week after i move is gather up all these songs,
just as they are, take them over to my man fuyuki's studio and get them mastered
and just release the fucking disc already.
With that being done, I gotta say I have been having STRONG, STRONG URGES lately
to pick up a microphone again and possibly set to work on my magnum opus.
No battle rhymes and or fronting tracks, I wanna make a disc where I can just finally say all the
things I think I just gotta say to the world.
I know I"ve always been a cat who talks talks talks about doing these projects but
never does, but I dunno - I feel different now. Maybe it is the therapy and the medication
that has calmed me down and made me less critical, or maybe its because im just
older and don"t give a fuck anymore
But something is gonna happen soon.
at a glance, the tracklist would look something like this:
2player
civilian
world
pulpit
untitled
fast second
upper hand (if I can clear the beat with timbuctoo)
bad moon
havenot
untitled instrumental
bite the hand that feeds
ducks unlimited
neighbourhood 2006
elements
plus a few more once i find them
anyway, thats whats on my mind right now
But something is gonna happen soon.
