IT'S ALL IN THE MIX!

it’s all in the mix, that’s what it is… tonight the final version of the liner notes, lyrics and other booklet stuff will go out, what had to be sung is on disk now, and Philip has already moved like a nomad from one studio to another and is workingworkingworking while your lazy friend here is sitting at home writing these lines enjoying a cold pint… anyways, this phase of work is kind of weird, it’s still a bit of work to do, minor corrections here and there, it’s like writing a final exam and proof-reading it once again, adding/changing words here and there. Though I guess I’ve never put this much effort in writing an exam as we’ve all put in this piece of music -well, good for the music, bad for my university-career. Joking.

So here I am, thinking and thinking and thinking about the song order. What will kick it off, what will close it. Everyone who has once made a mixtape can imagine how tricky that one is (those of you who read “High Fidelity” by Nick Hornby will know even better). There are just so many different possibilities that give the picture a completely different color… thank God I’m already sure about most parts!

Talk to you soon
