Fun Day!

Today was awesome! I finished recording the February Cruel Music CD, first. The CD is still untitled, by the way... I'm thinking, maybe, I'll have a contest, and just let the fans name the CD. The best title wins, or something... Anyway, me and my baby built a lot of the village after that. "The village?" you ask? Yeah... I'm kinda re-visiting my childhood obsession with trains. I got a train set for Christmas, and I've been waiting for the right moment to put it together. So, today, me and Baby Girl put it all together, complete with houses that we've been collecting along the the way. I had to build a table, and then I finally started it out like this:















The next piece of the puzzle was building the train track:
















Then, came the houses:




















And, here's the "finished" product:










We'll probably keep adding stuff to it for the rest of our lives, but that's how it looks right now, at this very minute.

The Happening

Hey, how's it going? Been a while... So, what have you been up to? I've been keeping myself busy with some forms of "music." Goofy, Cruel-Music-type "Music," that is... I'm kinda on a mission, I guess you could say. I'm going to record at least one new Cruel Music CD or video for every month of 2008. I've been too lazy for too long! It's not exactly a "New Year's Resolution" that I have, or anything, because I don't do "New Year's Resolutions." It's just that... Well... Cruel Music has been around for 20 years now, and we've only done 233 recordings, to date. That sounds good, in a way, but, just look at the Catalog page, man! These last few years have not been very productive. 2001 was our last good year. That was 34 releases in one year! That was awesome! It was our best year ever, actually. Now, I know as well as you know that 2008 is not going to see 34 releases by a long shot, but I don't think 12 releases (for the 12 months of 2008) is asking for too much, do you? Didn't think so! So, yeah, that's the goal... The Cruel Music Mission Statement... There will be at least 12 new recordings done this year! Maybe even more. Who knows?! Anyway, the one I'm working on right now has a working title of "Turning Back Time." I'm, like, 75% done with it. It's going to be about the stupidest piece of crap ever released by Cruel Music, I guess, but it's creative... CREATIVE. That's the magic word, kids. I'm trying to get creative again! It's been a while... And, I figure, the end of the world is less than 5 years away anyway, so I might as well make the most of it! Right? ...December 21, 2012... It's all going down!!!

Umm... And, here's a crime-scene photo that Denise took a couple nights ago:



















Exhausted from all the recording I've been doing, no? Could be... Ozzy will be playing drums on a couple of the new tracks:

Ozzy Is A Freak!

Every time I go to the bathroom Ozzy follows me in there. About a week ago he started jumping in the bath tub every time I go in there, and he does this:
















...And, here's the inside view:





















I don't get it...
