and it's in the mail
so i finally mailed off the package today to get the goddamned cd mastered. it's getting done my tim from stereophonic mastering in portland oregon. i guess i went with him cuz, uh, he offered me a really good deal! i'm hopeful that it turns out ok, i mean it seems like the guy has some good credentials and has done a fair amount of stuff for some bands and labels i've sort of heard of. he gave us a freebie sampling of his work last week with one of tunes and it sound pretty damn good, so i'm hoping for the best!
we're still waiting on making a final decision on cd replication, as i don't really wanna spend a whole lot of money, cuz while i am pretty damn vain in even pursuing financing this project, i don't want to completely drain my fucking bank account. so basically my two options are, i can either get a 2cd wallet thing format for $2000, or i can go with a 2cd jewel case with a 4 page booklet for about $2200. so i really don't like plastic jewel cases, i feel like they're ghetto and break a lot. digipaks are ok, but they are like way more expensive to do for some damn reason, probably all the fucking gluing involved or some shit. anyways, thoses damn jewel cases always be braking and shit, so i'm kinda like fuck that shit. so i'm leaning towards doing this real bare-bones wallet type thing where the cds just slide in and out of the card-board. i would like to have the lyrics included, but if that means another thousand bucks, then really i gotta say, fuck 'em. i asked nick, our roommate, if he thought lyrics were important, and he was like, yeah, but only if they're really good, cuz if they're shitty, you don't wanna draw attention to them. so while i'd say that the quantity of shitty lyrics with in the 30 songs is prehaps quite low, i believe i'll have to make do with just posting them on the website. and the thing is, i thought to myself, while i always do like to find lyrics within a cd booklet, i like totally never ever read them. unless i'm like really high and trying to decode the meaning of scott walkers the drift, that's really the last time i can recall reading a booklet seriously in any manner for more than 5 minutes.
so we saw boris play last night, that was pretty fucking awesome, they're drummer is totally a dreamboat rockstar. hell, they were all fucking rockstars, it was fucking rad and loud as fuck. the audience was totally like whatever though. i mean i expected moshing, but nope. i mean i fucking hate moshing, but shit this audience, which was close to sold out, could barely applaud and holler for shit, and these guys were playing pretty accessable rocking stuff for most of their set. even the dronier stuff was like pretty accessable, i don't why people were so like blah. maybe they all had a cold like i do too. fucking sucks, i hate being sick. the openers, damon and naomi were totally blah fucking boring. i guess i'd still be interested in checking out galaxie 500 at some point, but this shit was blah. i remember i have a luna cd somewhere that i got at 25 cent sale and listened to twice, and it was way more interested that the shit i heard those two do last night. i mean, they seemed very serious, but it all sounded the same, and it was seriously boring. boris fucking rocked though!
