...get it?

Tonight, I came across my notes from mixing The Heated EP. This post may only be for super-fans but if you click the photos, you can read the notes. Some are pretty informative.

Odds and Ends

Disgusting, aren't they?
The other day I came home to these on my kitchen floor: These are not my children but they are very cute.

In case you're interested, I'm what they're looking at.

How I get down: Last night I went to a party and had too many beers. It was good fun and totally worth the minor headache today. Thanks designated driver (a.k.a. my straight edge friend). The truth is that I've tried to get friends interested in Neutral Milk Hotel and nobody has taken me up on the offer. But last night, Mickey mentioned that he just got the album and I was able to get some things off my chest about it. Bonus points for an evening of already excellent conversation. I should have brought my camera but maybe later, I'll raid Noodle's Flickr page even though she called me weird for looking at it. Last night, I heard Noodle complaining that nobody looks at her Flickr. But I'm off topic here.

Now do it one hundred times: The cds arrived and the packaging has been figured out. There were a few dicey moments with my printer but overall I'm very pleased with it. Today, I put about one hundred of them together. It's fun to have a lot of them, sitting neatly in a row.

Big Doin's

Like many people, I enjoy making lists. Perhaps enjoy is not the right word. I make lists, that much I can say for sure. Creating a blog has been on there for less than a week. It's good when I can get to something in less than a week because I am a busy girl.

Currently on the list:

• update myspace bio
• finish promo list
• figure out cd packaging
• do I have enough buttons?
• dishtowels - learn how to screenprint
• make flyers
• practice/make set list
• book an East Bay e.p. release party

The e.p.: You see, I've spent the last two years of my life recording an album and finally realized that a full album just wasn't in the cards. Recording has taken place in my apartment (or flat as I call it when I'm feeling fancy, which is often) in bits and pieces. I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing or if what I did was done the right way.

But it's done: So, I'm happy that it's done and it's exciting to have a release out soon. An exact release date is still forthcoming but when you're as far off the radar as I am, does it really matter? Hell yeah, it does. More information to follow. Ending transmission for now.
