Tapes Are On the Way!

Sweeeeeeeeet.
We bought 300 tapes. Now we just gotta wait for them to get here. Oh, and run my tape duper 60 times. Then packaging. Then doneness! Finally.
Billy's Idol is back in the works and denying all prior material. To hear what's up there, go to http://www.myspace.com/billysidol. Tape plans also sort of in the works there, though there is only about 3 minutes worth of material.
Oh, and, its fucking hot!

Messed With Blog, Looked At Prices

So far today I have added a chat thingy and a hit counter to this blog so I can see how many people actually come here. I fear the worst. But after tour hopefully a bunch of people will come here to download some digital copies of stuff, so I'm no hurry to get larger bills from my webhost.
I also looked at the prices for tapes. Looks like we should get by at about $45 per person (3 people) for our band to get 200 tapes + cases + labels. We might even do the cases ourselves which would save us about 5 bucks apiece. I'm stoked that it is less than $50, because we still have to deal with cover art and printing 200 copies of it, which I'm sure kinkos will charge us a butt load for. Ah well, should be rad anyway.
We need to get some shirts made, apparently those sell well and we'll definitely need the money on tour, so, that's the next step.
At this point the recordings probably need a couple more hours worth of tweaking and then a little mastering time as well, so that's nearly finished.
Good stuff is good.

The Next Step

All of the tracks are laid down, and now the EQing and mastering begins. Not that I really know what I'm doing, but a lot of the songs already sound pretty rad, so I'll just make them sound radder. I put up a demo of Metro on The Walk Home's myspace page if you want to check that out. I'm stoked that the process is coming together. We're trying to have everything nearing completion by the end of June. Here's hoping.
