Chump

My album has changed a lot.

I've gotten into Black Sabbath, which is awesome.  I'm adding a thick, sludgy guitar sound to all my songs.

A lot of my songs have changed, too.  A lot of the songs I made demos for are gone.  Only "The Monster" and "Christmas in July" (as "Yeah") remain.

I wasn't sure about rerecording "Smile Feral Child", but I believe that song is too good to leave off.

"Take Me Away" "Here Comes the Love Bug" "Nothin' Better to Do" "Yeah" "The Monster" "Taylor Morris" and "Three Minute Mile" are mostly done.  "Smile Feral Child" needs to be done, I need to write the lyrics to the middle part of "Not That Strong/ Chris Paul is God/ Faces of Death" suite and only the first part of a multi-section song is completed.  There's a few other songs I recorded, namely "Invinciblity", "75", "Perspective" and "Punk Song with Lots of Reverb" but I'm not sure about any of them.  "Invincibility" is really short and it has finished lyrics, so it could make it.

I'm mixing the album in my room, using my sound system.  I'm mixing drums and bass lower, guitar and vocals higher.  It makes for a clearer sound, and the guitar is low and dirty enough to make the sound heavy.

The album will be called "Chump" for now.  It was going to be called "Shamelessly Delightful" but my sound isn't shamelessly delightful anymore.  "Chump" fits me better because a chump is an unathletic person.
