i got an email today form my friends at awful bliss records in italy! they just released a compilation cd with lots of great bands on it! my song flash lights which is on there and exclusive to that comp! i actually wrote the song over 5 years ago! but just recorded the final version this year. an older version was recorded for the un released first eif cd "lights like fans bullets like rain" but it didnt make the final cd which intern never saw the light of day either. the song is about 2 things one real life and one dream! i had a dream where me and a shadowy friend were running thru the forest really fast. then the atmosphere changes as we are chased by flashlights till we cant run anymore.... and i think i had that dream after me and my friend scot would hide in the woods when we were kids and throw dirt clumps at the near by houses. sometimes people would come running out of the houses and chase us thru the woods. it was always dusk and hard to see. scott was always better at seeing who was chasing us and always found us a good place to hide and wait out our chasers.
other news!
i took down the drawings from the portland art center show today. i was suprised to find out that i had sold 2 drawings! and some books. i think im gonna use some of the money to pay for mastering of the new record i have been working on when its ready! i have decided not to go to a studio and use the bulk of material i recorded at home and just get them mastered real good!! i think i only have to re record a couple songs..... that should happen in a week or so.
