After having completely bombed in this last year Iām pretty hesitant to sign up again.
Unlike the NGNY commitments (which Iām not doing) you canāt really make it three quarters of the way and still feel pretty good about itā¦
So no (well maybe).

You got it all wrong, my dude.
Its not an obligation- its a holy mission.
Its not a burden, itās a call to greatness.
The phone is ringing, my friend. Take the call.
(That being said, I refuse to commit to this years mission )

After a decent afternoon jamming on NYE, I asked my two band mates the obvious, āWTF are we going to do with the songs we wrote this year!ā. Basically, nothing but jam occasionally in front of our old Goth crowd.
I didnāt expect them to give their blessing when I said I could replace them with a drum machine and one synth. But they did, and rather enthusiastically very keen. So now Iām obliged to let these two fat aging Goths live vicariously through an AR and prophet-6.
Also, I hate my new job, and I canāt think of a better way to eradicate it from my mind than to throw myself into recording.

They donāt have the fat aging goth energy anymore. Theyāve been secretly listening to early 2000s Christian music and were nervous about you finding out.
Now they donāt have to live the lie anymore, so they can join the Polyphonic Spree

Oh babyā¦
I love that you wrote thisā¦ my most recent track I remixed (Came out the week before Christmas) is called āRing Ringā (Destiny is calling). I called my version the āMake Your Fate mixā.
Release it! Make Your Fate!!!
(Link if you want to listen:)

I think that was intended for me. Apologies for the mix up.

Exactly perfect! Release something. So-so 100% accepted. There is a LOT to be said about going thru the process and getting in the habit of releasing - a lot that Iām still learning. But it feels good to āget it doneā and opens up and unblocks pathways to the next thingā¦ in my experience anyway.

Iāll tell you this. I love releasing things- possibly more than actually making the music(to my detriment)
I have some stuff from 2014-2019 that are the bane of my existence. All of them got like 10k plays, made like 500 off of it.
Compared to the album I released last year(exactly) that Iām actually proud of. 15 plays total- maybe made a quarter.
Quality doesnāt necessarily matter for public appeal. For a year, I had to apologize every day to a dear friend for sampling his track and making a stupid remix that ended up at the top of his stats. He devoted his life to music and become good, im just a drunk that gets excited over POSSIBILITES!
So-So music is SO HOT these days!

Injury kept me from finishing my third album last year. Im still healing, but can do small bits of mixing a few times a week now. Iām going to finish it this year, pain be damned. The upside was that the very long pause has helped me to re-evaluate some tracks and really get a feel for how i want to refine them.

Iāll release an album this year consisting of at least three songs. Iāll also sing on at least one of the songs. I do have a certain style thought out in my head, and my goal is for there to be some kind of red line between the difference pieces, but if I canāt manage this, Iāll just settle for some random songs 
Also, as a bonus, Iād like to perform this album live, something that Iāve never done before. There are some hurdles to me doing this that I donāt have to bring up here though, so this part is totally optional.
