2 Days & 6 Songs

After what has been an admittedly long wait, it looks like things are really beginning to cook with Nursehella’s album. The recent studio sessions have run smoothly so far: we have six songs worth of vocals in the can after only two days in the studio, and she has material lined up for another five or six.
I’m not particularly sure how many of my instrumentals will underpin her album. That fact hinges a lot on her tastes, and how many other producers we can wrangle into working with us. She made a lot of good connections in the past year though, and perhaps it’s time to see how just how good they are.
In regards to my own album, I’m essentially just waiting on material from some of my collaborators now. Everything else has been locked down though perhaps once I have the collaborative elements in, I might tweak my vocals in a few spots. I could also draw the album out to 22 original tracks, plus 9 or more remixes. However, I think I’ll wait to see how long the collaborative tracks run. The final version of those songs could eat up the spare space.
Lastly, readers should expect more updates like this as I am obligated to blog an average of twice a week for a writing class. Not every update will be this extensive, but I figure that I ought to be forward about why I’m using my blog heavily.

Watch and skip around my mixtape. Or just download it from one of these places:
Bandcamp
Multiupload
Google Music
After all, Hipster Please! liked it, and that blog is the Pitchfork of Nerdcore (or so I’ll claim.)

Don’t mind me, I’m just enjoying some flavorful sodas. Certainly no song leaks in the background of these soda reviews:

Pretend That I’m Famous

I have been interviewed about my upcoming project and so on. Highlights included me blathering about my creative process, what I do on collaborative projects, and my favorite Prince song. With juicy sweet information such as the preceding teasers, you know your soul is compelled to observe the amazing secrets of my banal life, as revealed to you in an excitingly over-verbose yet shockingly nondescript fashion.
Meanwhile, I should be more of a narcissist and google myself regularly, so I find sick fan videos when they come up:

You would already have Storyboard [The Animatic Mixtape] which features a whole bunch of songs of my next album Animatic. Those who didn’t pony up will have to wait until my birthday.
Also, I now have a tumblr that will have all the content from this blog on it. Like the LJ I still auto-crosspost to, I expect it’s relevance to be fleeting at best.

But here is the leak anyway. Might still need some vocal work.

Let’s start with a remix:
ultraklystron – he’s an og (dubcoin mix) by karlrolson
That little afternoon remix out of the way, I am playing yet another show, and this time I’m not even opening for Death*Star! Instead I am playing as a part of a day-long festival, the proceeds from which go to suicide prevention. It’s a good cause, so if you can make it out, awesome.
Also, the free best of is done. Push it everywhere. I am considering getting that QR code on some stickers even.
Lastly, I will be at PAX, and I will sit in on the “Making Art from Art” Panel at the Raven Theater. I am not so much officially on it, as friends with a number of the MCs on the panel. Still, I’ll probably have something to say about post-invention-of-the-word-Nerdcore Nerdcore. Come out and throw video game swag shirts at me. 😉
