Third Journal Entry (02/01/02)
Hey there...
I'm at Wallyworld Studios once again tonight. It's 11.30pm and I'm putting finishing touches to the mix of a few more b-sides. I think there's almost an entire album worth of new material that won't be on the album...if that makes sense.
I wrote so many songs in preparation for the album and it seems such a shame for them to get all dusty and forgotten. I put two on the single for INSATIABLE... there'll be a few downloadable ones on this site when the album is released (I think you'll need SPIN to unlock them) and the rest will go on future singles.
It's the most amount of extra tracks I've had for an album and it's such a relief not to have to scramble for extra music each time a single is released.It's cool because they're a different kind of vibe to the album. They're much more raw and relaxed (unfinished I guess). But that's what makes them unique. Anyway, whatever the case, I wanted you to hear them so I hope you'll enjoy.
I finally finished the video for Insatiable. I really love it. It was directed by Alek Keshishian and shot in L.A. You may remember Alek directed the 'Hold Me' video. It should be out and about in the coming few weeks. It's very La Dolce Vita.
What else can I tell you? A movie I loved recently was 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. If you liked 'Rushmore' you'll dig it. And if you didn't...you won't!
Hey...the metro boys have done THE coolest remix of Insatiable. It will be going to radio soon (and we're doing a special remix edit of the video to accompany it). I've been listening to it non-stop. I think we're trying to put it on the European single.
I think that's about it for me. I'm really so thrilled at the reaction so far to the music and as always so grateful for your support and love. I go to Miami on Tuesday for three days of Latin American Promo. Then it's off to New York for something very special. Could it be the first live performance of my solo material?
Hmmm!
Must be off. Get some sleep. Want to get up early and do Yoga! Help motivate me would you? :)
Take care!
