movin on up (to a second album)

So. The downside of being in an awful emotional funk for days is that...I comfort eat/gain weight, and don't leave the house. The upside is, I organize a tracklist and come up with a name/concept for the new demo album. Mike is planning on doing cover art (like last time), and I'm very excited to record in the fall now that something has kind of materialized in my mind.
I decided to put these new set of songs under a different name, not "Jade Looking Glass," because well, they're a different set of songs conceptually, and the "Jade" idea isn't as relevant. So, here we go:

Porcelain Jigsaw
1. Puzzle Sabotage
2. Prisms & Intentions
3. Icarus
4. Disenchantment, Stirred
5. Leaves of Grass
6. Burnt Orange
7. Velveteen
8. Gravity
9. As It Descends
10. Rome (In Replay)
11. Benediction

Needless to say, I'm psyched. Hopefully, you're psyched. No songs are alike, although you'll be able to hear different influences on the tracks...everything from Dave Matthews and the Allman Brothers, to Ani DiFranco, Iron &Wine and Bob Dylan. Huzzah.
Also, this time around I'm going to have to think of a more clever way to distribute...all the blank cds I had to buy to give everyone a copy last time...its kind of burned a hole in my pocket. But at the same time it feels wrong/weird to have people pay for this. Crickey -- we'll see.

And now, back to cleaning/packing.

Oh, and this is a tres interesting site, Last.FM/Audioscrobbler, for those who base their everyday lives on the music they listen to:
Last.FM
I just made an account, and it's fun to check the site occasionally.

Anddd that's all folks.
