Debido a ciertos problemillas con Telefónica estaré sin conexión en casa durante unos 5 ó 6 días (*cruzar dedos*). Por lo tanto, quien quiera hacerme saber algo urgente o espere una pronta respuesta a algo, que use el teléfono. El resto, paciencia.
Don’t expect “Swordfishtrombones” here… The sound is as lo-fi crap as it gets (I must admit that I made it even dirtier on purpose), I haven’t worried too much about EQ or noise removal, the playing is sub-par and there are a lot of mistakes, but hey, I like it. It’s raw, it’s spontaneous and, above all, it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for your interest and support and I hope you enjoy it half as much as I did!
My failure is now official: it’s March the 1st and I only have 7 tracks, one of which sucks so much it’s not even funny. But heck, the rest is pretty good stuff, and it should make a decent demo once I polish a couple of details during the weekend, because right now I’m gonna take a well deserved couple of days’ rest.
I was also thinking of including a cover or two to round things up… RPM’s rules allowed only for original material to be sent in, but now it’s MY album and my rules, and I really wanted to try covering Nick Cave’s own cover of Johnny Cash’s “The Singer”, so that one will go on the album for sure. Maybe if I have enough time I’ll do another one… “The streets of Laredo”, or Lee Hazelwood’s “My autumn’s done come” would be cool, but that will depend on how long everything takes me, because I want to wrap this up in five days maximum. After that I’ll upload the whole demo to the Internet Archive and spend two weeks detoxing :)
There’s been a bit of blood, a lot of sweat and some tears, specially in the last days, but it has been one of the most gratifying experiences in my life. Going back to my everyday “routine” is surely going to feel very strange after all this!
And, of course… There’s always next year. RPM ’08 is going to be SUCH fun.
