For Sure Just Release It
Day one, post-24-hour album release. It’s been great.
I put it out there. I texted a bunch of musical friends and got some real feedback from folks.
These tracks were made quick. Made up, played, mixed, and mastered the same day—in a lot of cases the same morning.
And, as Jeff Tweedy once said, don’t sleep on easy. If it’s working and it’s easy, it has no relation to the worth. Does NOT have to be hard!
For these 31 tracks in 31 days that I’ve been doing in January, I set up a system that’s easy, and once that’s RTG, I go with it, full faith. And I trust blindly that good stuff will happen.
And in large part, that has happened.
Also, if you’re doing 31 tracks, you know that you’re not using all of them, so the pressure’s off. This is huge, huge.
I wasn’t really 100% sure about releasing this, and, as I also learned, almost every time, and then definitely every time, forget: just release it. Put it out there. There’s no reason not to.
If you think it’s worth releasing, then you’ve trash the critical mind and go with it.
I’m way happier that this is out than not out.
How is that not enough?
