Permeate the Membrane! UPDATED(4/21)

It is slowly coming together...

Lets see which songs I have:

(I'm more posting this to keep my stuff organized)

Don't Have to Try2
Growing Up Slowly4
Let em Know What They wanna Know6
Girls10
Maintain20+26
Just Give In (GloryV2)23
Your Heart is in the Right Place, but That Anger is Needed for Better Things38
Nostalgia Market48(ThirdTry)
Random Ramblings(parts 1, 2, 3)
There Was a Boy49

7 Songs so far, and those numbers? Those are for me. Dont worry bout it.

UPDATE(4/18): New song made, up to 8 songs plus a 3 part a capella thing I'm going to use as bookmarking on the album. Like an intro, interlude and an outro. Its stupid, but whatever. It reminded me of Trout Mask Replica, and I love that freaking album, so I want to do it. Who is going to listen to it anyways? No one. So that is 11 tracks total, but now I want to get a couple more actual songs before completing it. There are a few more ideas out there, so hopefully that will produce a few more solid concepts. I would like to get the actual track number up to 10 or 11, putting the final count at either 13 or 14. We will see how that goes.

UPDATE(4/21): Ok, got a new song done, new in that it will finally be released in a form that I like. There was a Boy has been around for a few years now, but I have never been able to get a good enough version of it that was worth putting out there. Now, I think the best version has been captured. It feels right, for now. So that makes the total count up to 9 songs! Hooray!  I'm going to try and shoot for two or three more songs. But, now I'm feeling very confident about how this is going. For now, anyways, I'm sure some doubt will creep in come mixing and mastering time.

But yeah, I got a new version of Glory that cut out some of the more useless parts.

I'm definitely going to keep up with the whole "Song Title is kind of longer than the Song" thing, it amuses me. Also I'm trying to keep the titles more descriptive, like, they add to the song, not just take lyrics from the song itself and use that as a title. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Whatevs.

But yeah, I've got a few more ideas percolating, 5 more songs? Maybe who knows.

Ok so...

Lot of shit happened these past few weeks:

Lost job
got new job
discovered all recording equipment was useless
Got a dog
Released album
Got new recording equipment

Oh yeah, new album.

Dart Lucky:



















Thats the album right there.

You can download or listen to it at soundcloud here.

I also set up a Song Ladder account...

Yeah, don't ask.

But it is another way for people to ignore my music.

Ok, scrapping EPs for now, unless I don't have enough for a new album, then it will be an EP and I will just do what I did with Dart Lucky and scrounge up the cream of the crop for a full length, mix in some new songs and bingo: Permeate the Membrane! is a go.

Yes, Permeate will be the next album title. Unless I decide differently.

I have 4 songs down, and a long weekend with no kid or wife to bother me, so hopefully I can get some more done. If there aren't 11 or 12 songs for an album, I will put it out as an EP on my bandcamp under a different name, probably Crush. BUT if I do gather enough material for a full length, it will be released on soundcloud under PTM!

Got it? Me neither!

LETS FUCKING DO THIS.
