album info

just some notes on music:
my band, if I ever had/have one, will/might be called The Smow Kings. but probably that name will wear out after the cutesy draw to it is discovered and wanes soon thereafter. so maybe that's just our practice name before we start the tour circuit.
track three could be an ode to something. perhaps titled 'Jasper Tells All'.
track six is more of a ballad
of course, the first two tracks would have to get the album going and incite and excite people to listen to it and spread the word.
no secret tracks, 'cause they just suck. who wants to listen to music only to find a 10 minute gap in the song that's playing until you get to the treasure song. what a waste.
no intro tracks with rap guys calling each other and leaving dumb voicemails about their producers or girlfriends or drugs. because of course those things are sacred to the individual and also irrelevant to the music-listening populace unless it has some sort of tune/beat/etc. music doesn't include your voicemails or phone calls or the like.
something else that's crazy and should be avoided is when you have artist titles that end up on your ipod or similar, yet crappier, mobile music device as such:
X Artist
X Artist feat. Beyonce
X Artist feat. Jay-Z and Talib Kweli
music producer dudes of the world! I do not need more than one listing for each artist
just put all your 'shout outs' on the track names so that you don't clog the artist roster, man.
my proposal would shake up how we do things.
just have the listing like 'X Artist', song = 'It's hard on the street for a pimp, feat Gwen Stefani'
