The New CD is Mixed and Mastered

Greetings once again from the lake...

We've had a small taste of winter around here the last day or two. It actually started snowing for a few minutes this afternoon. Damn, I'm not ready for another winter. I'm just not a winter kind of guy. I'd rather wear shorts and go barefoot than trudge around in heavy coats and boots. Granted, we keep it toasty warm around here with the fireplace (furnace hasn't even had to kick on yet), so I can hang around the house in as little clothing as I want (smile), but I'm going to miss going for walks.

On to the album news...

I'm basically done with the final mixing and mastering on the new album now. Mastering this one myself was even more of a bear than I thought it would be. I think I did a reasonably competent job - at least enough so that there shouldn't be any sonic issues with the CD serious enough to interefere with anyone's enjoyment of the music. I gave in to the itch to record "just one more song," so the new album will feature 12 new tracks.

I plan to shoot a video for the first single, "Go," towards the end of this month. Then it's just a matter of getting the rest of the packaging and (hopefully) CD-ROM content together in order to get the album released by late November or the beginning of December. My main website will also get a complete revamping at that point; it's long overdue, but I've just been so damned busy getting the CD finished that it's been hard to find the time. One skinny little punk can only do so much at once, LOL.

Stay tuned and look for the new video sometime in the first half of November!
