Just giving you guys warning. I can't stop falling back on the fact that the album backfired on me and I won't be able to get the new guitar, which means less guitar than I wanted on the next album (Check the latest news update on my website, in my sig).
So, my friends, now is when I will push a big part of this out of my system. Don't apologize, I'll get over it. It's mostly my fault anyways (I think).
Ok, I decide after doing a few songs and such that "Hey, I think I could do a full album". Well, I asked some people, and they said if I did it they would buy... Field of dreams sorta thing. Well, as I kept going, releasing all the mp3s of the work, people were like "Yeah yeah, I'll buy!". Such a trip. I get done, start taking pre-orders... and everybody is quiet. They have all the serious songs downloaded on the harddrives, while I'm stuck with 30 CD mailers, and enough stuff to produce 50 copies of the album.
This isn't just on the forums I'm posting - it's on campus here, and elsewhere (this is being copied to my 2 resident forum hangouts).
Funny thing is, now I'm a sellout money grubber who doesn't care about the fans. Fancy that. Not to mention the complaints I get about my website being on tripod... which I can't afford to pay a monthly fee, I go some months with cash and most without any cash at all. That's the way it works. I won't ask my mom to pay it either, it wouldn't be right.
So, I'm feeling a little better I guess. Not much though. I've tried to push it out, but it just comes back stronger than ever... I hate grudges, but this one just isn't budging at the moment.
