18 demos, probably
Wednesday April 28, 2004 – 10:51 amI’m working on sequencing the album of demos that’s coming out next month on the free-music label Comfort Stand. It’s kinda fuckin’ long, I’m not used to this… none of my records have been more than like 40 minutes, 11 or 12 songs. And I’m accustomed to thinking about sequencing in terms of the vinyl record, i.e. "What’s the opening song?" "What’s the key hitmaking 2nd or 3rd song on side A?" "What’s the grand thought-provoking last song on side A?" etc. etc. It’s rough. Maybe I should just think about it in terms of side A / side B anyhow, just because it makes for a good flow. Or not.
For the artwork, I’m using a photo of Davina’s, and she’s doing the layout. I’m not saying what the photo is, I’m just gonna let you see it when the time comes. It’s very simple yet totally kicks ass. :-)

I’ve been waiting for these demos for months! Can’t wait til May 21 Edith :-D The project sounds very cool. Your efforts are appreciated!

Well, it’ll probably come out a little earlier than that, depending on how fast I get this shit together. No *later* than the 21st at any rate.

Now that’s something to look forward to! Since it happens in the month of May, I will officially consider it a birthday present.

Are these the cool demos you included on that special data disk you sent me? now, I’ll still have to get the Comfort Stand version for that kick-ass surprise cover. Thanks for the sneak preview. I’ve been diggin’ it through this (finally over) long cold winter). Think "Side A" and Side "B" - there’s nothing wrong with old-time analog vinyl thinking. And, yeah, order can be importrant, especially for the songwriter (except on shuffle play).

Yeah, you have all these, but the new MP3s are going to sound a lot better so I recommend you get ‘em again.
