Suggesting that the new ep would get done at some point last week was a ridiculous statement. My Dad came in to town and I spent the weekend on Catalina Island. This week it could potentially get done though.

Good news: there will be a physical copy of the Anniversary EP to purchase/own/touch. Development is in progress.

Sundays in Spring should be releasing the EP on their netlabel sometime this week - everything is finally in order for that to happen. There is literally nothing holding it back.

Well, I didn't finish the EP I promised. I had planned on writing, recording, mixind and mastering a 3-song EP today. I was going to work on it all day long, but I had to schedule a band rehearsal for the early evening. I really didn't have a choice, and the rehearsal was very, very worth it. But I have two demos of the songs I worked on over on the music page, and I should be able to finish the songs in the next few days. So check them out.

I want to announce that this Sunday, August 28, I will write, record, mix and master three songs completely from scratch and post them on my website. Yes, it will be a concept EP, but more importantly it will be something to keep me from playing World Soccer Winning Eleven 8 for PS2 - my god that game is great.

In other news, there appears to be another Wil Holland running about. He has proposed a solution to the Turing Test, the test by which Universal Artificial Intelligence will be proven (or something like that). I haven't finished reading his theory (since I'm at work and, therefore, should be working) but it's fascinating thus far. Check it out.

A big update on the band's status is coming soon.

The Anniversary EP will be published on the Sundays in Spring site in a couple weeks... not that that's a big deal, since you can download it on the music page right now.

The new EP (Anniversary) is up in its entirety, and remastered mp3s of the UV Effect are up as well.

Some R&R is in order, but not a whole lot.

Actually I tried to relax this past weekend and almost died. I went tubing with some friends up in central CA (tubing down a river, not behind a boat). The very first rapids that we came upon (in like the first 2 minutes of the trip) had a huge boulder right at the top. Obviously we were to avoid heading for the boulder, so you can guess where I ended up going. I tried to stick my foot out and push off the rock but the water was way too powerful - as soon as I anchored my foot the force of the water pushed the tube, and the rest of me, underneath and I ended up riding the rapids tubeless (not to mention helmetless and life vestless). Needless to say my knees and shins hit various rocks on the way down while I kept thinking "if I hit my head I might die". Turns out my body is far more seaworthy than I usually give it credit for, but I was pretty scared nonetheless.

Moral: Stay classy San Diego.

It's finished. I'll get it on the news page soon, but for now here is the new EP:

Lost on Purpose:
Anniversary

1. London
2. Ohio 2
3. Lonely Road
4. Thank You Music Guru
5. Centum Cellas
6. Black Widow

Note: I just noticed something. London and Black Widow are not quite right; they're both supposed to have fades at the end of each song. Either I accidently put up the wrong files or the fades didn't get processed correctly... ok, so there's a 98% chance it's my fault. The correct versions will be up tonight anyhow.

I think... the new ep... is done. If I am correct, expect it to be up - somewhere - over the weekend. Here is the track list:

1. London
2. Ohio
3. Lonely Road
4. Thank You Music Guru
5. Centum Cellas
6. Black Widow

These titles should tell you a lot about the songs... riiiight. Here's a hint: they're all really good. Honest.

I decided to make a few changes to the new EP, so it will probably be several days until it's ready. Patience is a virtue...

Just wanted to throw out an update on the new ep - I have a strong feeling it's going to be finished by Sunday. And since it's being released by a netlabel it should be up for download not much later than that, although there's still the question of artwork. 5 songs are confirmed, (including Thank You Music Guru, a near-complete version of which is on the music page) a sixth song is probable, and a seventh is quite possible. I'll get a track listing up as soon as it's confirmed.

There's a new song up on the music page.
