Future Projects
I mentioned some upcoming projects in chat on December 7, 2020. There's Small Project, Big Project 1 (on hold), Big Project 2, VW, OKH, Next 3, Next 4, and my Barry Manilow solo album. There's the video game song. The fav band cover song. Well nowadays I just work on Next 4. December 9, 2020; I got Jake's comments on the first draft of next three.
January 6, 2021; I just turned in the first draft of next4 to Jake. It's going to be the most difficult of all 4 albums to get right but we're off to a great start.
January 26, 2021; in the LA Times article, I referenced a movie-musical I'm working on about the life of Buddha, tentatively titled "Buddha Superstar." Also, there are two other album ideas: one tentatively titled “Happy Chill", in the style of "Island in the Sun"; another evokes Franz Ferdinand or the Clash, "dance music, but it feels like a band.”
In two separate interviews, I talk about the idea of possibly doing a collection of four seasonally-based, themed albums. In i news UK on January 21st I mention that in 2022, I want to release four seasonal albums, each with corresponding theme (“Happy, chill, stress-free for spring, lots of Elliott Smith-style loss and sadness for winter, and maybe fall could be dance-rock, like Franz Ferdinand”).
Then in NPR on January 29th, I elaborate that we're pretty sure the next idea is going to be called "Seasons," and it's a four-album collection. Each of the four albums comes out on the first day of the relevant season, and each album will have a very different musical and lyrical theme. Spring can be a very breezy, carefree acoustic-type album, whereas fall is going to be dance rock. So I've got the four folders going in Dropbox. I'm having a great time.
On January 30, 2021, I chatted in the hood about what the Cuomilow (Manilow-esque) album could be; it would be mostly songs about romantic relationships. And mostly ballads. More sophisticated in terms of chord progressions and key changes. Also more lush orchestra rather than Abbey road retro strings. I was thinking of it as my first solo record rather than a band record.

Where do you find that log? Sounds interesting.

That’s real wild... I didn’t know they dated?

postin some cool riverpedia stuff he shares rn itt if you wanna read it up

Just saw your other post. Real cool stuff, I’ll have to read through the thread in a bit. Damn I wish I had more free time these days.

Pinkerton Cover Art
The cover art of Pinkerton is an antique Japanese ukiyo-e artwork by Hiroshige. It is number sixteen of the series, The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō. I chose this woodblock print because....it was on a postcard sent to me by my 'gf' Chiba and it captured the feeling of winter loneliness that I was feeling in Cambridge.

Elliot Smith
I'm really starting to dig some of his songs.
My 90's "girlfriend", Jennifer Chiba, was his girlfriend at the time of his death. She left me a distraught voice message but I was in one of my first meditation courses.
