Missing Briefcase is FINISHED. It is being mastered as I type this, by Tom Durack in New York, who has mixed records for such bands as They Might Be Giants (Half of Factory Showroom and “Dr. Worm”) and The B-52′s (“Love Shack” — need I provide more examples?). He’s been a great guy to work with, and completely invaluable to the project. I’m really glad I didn’t go with mastering the album myself this time.

Now that the album is all but finished, I need to figure out the album art/layout, as well as the BORING stuff like publicity. I also need to save up more money for this stuff, so it may be a few more months before MB actually comes out. And I’d like to save myself postage and the long post office lines and say this to all you indie labels who no doubt refresh this page all day waiting for an update: Wanna release my album? There, I said it. Now let the emails rollll in!

Oh, speaking of TMBG, I’m going to see them tonight at the Roseland. It’ll be my 8th time seeing them. I’m excited as bunt cake.

Bon Jovially,
Alex
