Resolutions

I consider all the 2007 resolutions for my band and label, as best as I can remember making/stating them, to be so very close to completion, that I can consider them accomplished. We released 2 of the 3 re-issues I resolved to, the 3rd is like a month away from completion. The new album will not be out by February, but very likely by March. Humaninhuman released /distributed 4 albums with 2 to be released within a month and 2 others quickly following. I think that's damn close to my resolutions. Biggest goal of all - rebuild BBH as a real-world, multi-membered band that practices regularly, plays locally and records. To quote Meatloaf, 2 outa 3 ain't bad. Moses, Kit, Zach and I practive evry third Saturday and with our initial temp drummer played a show in September. We even attempted to play an illocal show but thru no fault of our own, it did not happen. No new material is ready yet, so there has been no reason to record. I call that not only a year well spent, but with my health and spirit in the best shape they've ever been, 2007 was the best year of my life. Cue Matthew Wilde.

So what are my resolutions for 2008 in regards to BBH and HumanInhuman Records?

Main thing is to distribute the Slumlord album and release the 2 BBH albums. Hopefully Bruce Satinover's albums will quickly follow and the next mikingmihrab after that. BBH will continue practicing, playing locally, maybe even try again playing illocally. We are making a concerted effort to expand our repertoire, heavily concentrating on LLP and especially the new FOP stuff. The change of name comes when we start recording new stuff, Moses' progrock album GGP. Man... it doesn't even seem like we oughta squeeze that into '08...

I know this: I want to play a show or two with Armalite. I also know this: using the name Bernie Bernie Headflap, I'm going to put out another one man band album, recorded partly at home, partly at SSSS, mostly real instruments rather than software. It'll be titled Gnome Sane? and have mostly all new songs, but some new versions of older oneman band songs that coulda done much much better

also there will be a deluxe remastered version of Cheese on Wheat with new art, megadoses of bonus tracks released under the name Cheese on Wry.

That's all I'm gonna resolve to. If other stuff happens... it'll be gravy... mmm... gravy!!
