uploading nothing to say to youtube

so, the track switched on wednesday but i was too sick to say much about it. maybe it's sort of fitting.
this is the last track on cassette demo #2 and will be up until the end of january. the demo material will then cycle around for a bit, but i won't post that here. that means this is the last youtube update on this page until the beginning of may, when the feature switches out of my mid 90s punk phase and into my late 90s electronic phase.

hopefully, i'm out of my sophomore slump by then, too.

i actually expect to be a good ways into the discography by may - perhaps as far as 2006.

i'm trying to get off facebook...

this page will be shutting down, accordingly. it's going to be a longer wait than the main profile, though.
i ended up catching the flu, which had this turn in to a longer break than expected.

back to work today or tomorrow.
obligatory influential on song of the month post...

i can't figure out what the hell was influencing me on this particular track, but i can hear a bit of deleo in the short guitar solo, and it's head-scratching enough that it fits. i'm reaching, though. it's not characteristic of my own work.

this record? i think it's aged well. i gotta lean towards the preceding record as the better crafted disc, but this is a perfectly worthy follow-up - and remains the only thing they've released that comes close to matching that universally acknowledged classic.

(relevant tracks: nothing to say, but deleo is a general guitar influence with that jazzy classic rock grunge fusion of his)
