An update on Inkstains and the rest of my life

So, after months of putting everything in place I have finally locked in my distributor and a mastering engineer I'm happy with. Taking the album for its final master on October 3rd, so I am going to be a busy guy for the next week or so making any final small changes. This leaves me with a heap of the pre-release versions to give out to people in competitions and send to blogs etc. for review so I'm very happy about that. Unofficially the release date is looking like November 27th, I'll be sorting out pre-orders through JB HI-FI and all that shebang too. Very nervous and scared about servicing the first single to radio, I feel like I'm going on a first date with the really hot, cool girl from highschool you've admired from afar and never really understood.

Going the independent route is both scary and potentially rewarding, I like the idea I have a lot of responsibility in making my album go well, it makes me feel like I'm taking charge of things somewhat. At the same time, I would love to be able to focus on the music making process and relax a bit. Oh well, no rest for the wicked, probably should have put this out in 2005.
