He’d be be bigger than J.K. Rowling. (I’m still of the opinion that Rowling can’t write for shite)

Seriously, the dude is almost better at reading and speaking than William S. Burroughs. For some reason his prose seemed to have dropped off as of late.

N22 – Synapse.Project: Future Gods. Limited Numbered Edition of 26.

Coming soon to Noiseusse Recordings.

This subject came about in a weird conversation and a weird Google downward sprial that started on Dark Roasted Blend. Ahnyhoo.

To me the moniker is not in reference to its views or it being a particularly hairy 4×4 trail. The reason its the “Oh My God” Road is because its not a 4×4 trail. We actually are insane enough to use it as a road. Like you’d drive down a frontage road to the next town to visit your friends that go to a different high-school. To me its “Oh my god what the Hell was someone thinking when they made this a commuting route!” Road.

That is all.

Think something sounds awesome when you’re drunk, and then when you hear it sober it sounds like total ass???
My solution is to work on music sober, then have a few drinks. If it still sounds okay when slightly intoxicated, it is probably okay to keep working on.
This isn’t all the time. Just today.

Still working on that cover. Soon though. SOOOOOON!!!

Slowly but surely.

30 discs are burned, CD print tests are done. Final package designs are in the works. (Final CD art is the one on the bottom)

Tomorrow I print the art on the rest of the discs and finish the package design.

In no particular order.

Apparently the other material they released around the same time (call quadrangle maybe?) is even better. I need to track that stuff down.)
