The Thirteen Minute Album
July 2, 2008
June is over! And with it, the Minute Minute Songs. The entire collection-- I'd say it's a thirteen minute album, but it clocks in at about eighteen minutes and 70 seconds -- can be listened to over at here, or alternately, you can download the entire not-really-but-almost-thirteen-minute-album here.I have learned so much from doing this-- staying up most nights till 6am, making so many mistakes, and having to roll with it. The little collection of songs has a lot of bits that are the equivalent of pencil sketches: eraser marks here, a note there about how to color it up a bit.
So what's the next step in the world?
Here's what I'm doing. I'm going to keep making Minute Minute songs, but now they will be part of the Minute Minute Incubator. It's where little baby songs crawl around, see if they're ready to stand on their little two feet. If they are, well, lucky them: I make them into full-grown real songs, just like they were visited by the blue fairy.
But I need some input: I've set up a poll. Let me know what your favorite songs are, from most to least, and every week I'll take one from the top of the list and turn it into a full-length song.
You can go vote here!

thank you so much. a friend of mine was working with him when he died -- i've heard lots of wonderful stories about him, but never this one. i think he *was* an angel, actually.
