Ohhhhh man, you guys are going to like this. We're getting really close to completing the Banquets and Bars album you have so long anticipated. Jason has finished mastering the tracks, Marion's done a little album art, and there are ten original songs on the final mix. This is the first CD I've ever really been a part of creating, so it's a little rough around the edges, but on the whole it's something we're all very proud of. These tracks were almost all written and recorded in Jason's basement, but we really tried to expand that space to make it sound as close to studio quality as we could. And I think it'll be good listening for just about anyone who wants to give it a chance in their CD player. The songs are simple and catchy and fun.

As for the CD release, I'm not 100% sure on the specifics just yet. There will definitely be a website of some kind, and some .mp3's available for download. We'll be looking to recoup the costs of production, but if everybody throws in a few bucks it should turn out alright. But let's worry about that later, and for now we can revel in the anticipation. 


While you wait for further updates on the CD, here's a little Christmas gift from me in case I don't have time to give you something else before the holiday. It is an admittedly sort of crappy gift, as it is possibly the worst recording I've done in the last 6 months, but it's at least fresh. I recorded this in one of the very empty rooms in my new apartment. I love the acoustics of empty rooms, and I couldn't resist trying this one out, even if it was pretty late at night. It's sort of quiet, so maybe use headphones?

And if you really hate it, let me know on the new poll I just put up. UP TOP!
