new album release date: two days and counting

really? i almost don't believe it myself. but would i ever lie to you? well... don't answer that one. but yes, it actually is true -- and no fudging on the date this time -- this tuesday, november 13th is the official release date for my album. WOOT WOOT. i feel like i'm coming out of hibernation... i haven't played an actual show in over a year, which i'll admit as a singer-songwriter is borderline career suicide, but it was all for a reason... i needed to make THIS album and make something of a fresh start. i feel like with the EP it was like taking a pebble and throwing it down the side of a hill... i got to shake a few stones loose, get a little momentum, but not quite as much as i would have liked. this time, i've got a bigger rock to throw, and i'm hoping for a little more shakey-shakey, whatever that means.

"in this there is no measuring with time. a year doesn't matter; ten years are nothing. to be an artist means not to compute or count; it means to ripen as the tree, which does not force its sap, but stands unshaken in the storms of spring with no fear that the summer might not follow. it will come regardless. but it comes only to those who live as though eternity stretches before them, carefree, silent, and endless. i learn it daily, learn it with main pains, for which i am grateful: patience is all!"

rilke is the man.

so two days -- get ready.

ps. MY MUSIC IS WHERE I'D LIKE YOU TO TOUCH! (the ipod touch commercial just came on, sorry)
