October 31, 2009, 6:52 pm    New SP Music Update
A little update then from inside the bubble here at Recording Central...

Currently we are in the process of completing the 3rd mix (of 4 total) of what will be the first ep for Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. Yay! So happy to almost be done. Unfortunately things went a little longer than expected due to some tech difficulties, such as the simultaneous blowing up of 2 (count 'em) tape machines at once. Add in your ghosts, your ground hums and wizards welts and everything seems to take forever. Luckily the vocals came as easy as any as I have ever done so I am happy to report I am in fine voice and in clear mind, albeit slightly worse for wear.

I'm feeling really relaxed about these songs. It is the first time in a long time that I don't feel any pressure other than to just do my best. I trust the songs, I trust my fans, and I trust life to unfold as it needs to. It is a good feeling.

The music to my ears is playful, serious, grandiose, and humble at the same time. Reading that back it appears to be a fairly accurate portrayal of me as a person. Might be a good thing, might be bad for business.

I know many have asked for a first release date. I can tell you that the ep's themselves will most likely not be available till the new year, January hopefully. The first song to be released however is just right around the corner. I promise that. We can't yet set a date until I actually finish here. But you can do the math; once I've finished there really is nothing stopping me from putting out the first song other than how we are going to make it readily available for anyone who wants it. After that, the idea would be that every 2 to 4 weeks another new song would come out. I like the idea that there will be a fresh piece of SP music on the streets at least once a month for the next 40 months. It is much more in line with the way we are all living lately, which is moving at light speed with little apology for anything involving our insatiable curiosity. I cannot at all argue with that.

Hey stop using the name "smashing pumpkins" and just do "billy corgan". The smashing pumpkins left your band a couple months ago.
