Stathakula

So hows everyone been then?

You ever sleep waaay too late for no apparent reason/againts your will, then wake up all foggy and confused because your dreams have had waaay too long to develop and now you’ve forgotten everything about them?

It finally feels like fall here in New Orleans, and I’m fucking loving it. I don’t wake up covered in sweat, I’m not covered in sweat as soon as I walk outside or the time between getting in my car and starting it; I find sweating for no apparent reason undignified. Man was not made to sweat all damned day.

Album’s almost dun being mixed, I’ve heard a couple tracks sent to me from the lab and John Worthington really is quite the clever man. I’m just as excitecd as all of you, if not more, to finally hear the finished product.

You know, in retrospect, I’m reminded of something somebody said about making a movie, except I’m going to badly paraphrase it and apply it to making a record; an album is not something which is solely the child of the artist(s) whose name it bears. I wrote the songs, and I sang and played guitar, and gave some guidance to the other people who worked on the record. But I’d be a liar and a thief if I used that to take more credit than has due. The making of this album has truly been a symbiotic process between all the musicians and production guys that have been involved with it, changing and shaping and massaging the music every step of the way and taking it to wonderful places I couldn’t have imagined. I guess this is just my long-winded round-about way of saying a great big giant “thank you” to everyone who has helped get this record to where it is today, all who’ve done everything which I could not have done on my own. I owe you bastards.

With that being said, the little bundle of joy is hittin the streets next month, there’s a carazy cd release party being planned as we speak, and there are a few different front runners for the signature Stathakula shot, so it looks like things are really going to be heating up in the depths and darkness of the winter. I for one couldnt be more excited.

Stay tuned to this Bat-station, and we’ll have all kinds of interesting information for you to process and store.
