Choosing the Tracks for "Jump Into The Fuzz"

Okay.. so I have 25 songs... (honestly.. more like 38 but, i'm not letting those 13 extra songs into this pool, they're for the 2nd or 3rd album... ) and I need to cut the list from 25 down to 12, 13, or 14... i haven't decided how many songs will be on the album... I want to go with 13, for the sole purpose of discrediting superstition of the number 13 hehe... but we'll see...


In case you are new to J.E.L.L.i. land, the full length album is called "Jump Into The Fuzz" and it will be coming out by the end of this year.. =)

Here's the status board as of now:

I really really wish that I could completely record and finish ALL of the songs on the first list BEFORE i choose what songs will be on Jump Into The Fuzz, but If did that... this album wouldn't come out till next year... So what I need to do.. is right now, listen to what I have recorded so far and then choose the best 13, and ONLY focus on finishing those so I can finally give birth to this album that has been in my spirit since high school..

Did you know.. I Am Blank (Nothing) and New Dimension were written in High School? circa 2001... isn't that crazy? I didn't have the skills or equipment to deliver them in highschool, or college... so I waited till after I graduated to record them... and I'm happy I did... they deserved the best of me, and they got it... Jump into the Fuzz will be an album of songs that span almost a decade...

Man I wish there was a way for me to open all these songs up to the public and have a "fan vote" album track listing... that would be cool... If they were all copyrighted, I so would.. I don't know how John Mayer is doing it... he's posting up songs half finished for people to hear... I guess when you're at his level, people won't even dare steal his music because they know he could sue the soul out of them.. lol


I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO!! AHHH!!! But it's WONDERFUL WORK that I am honored to be able to do... thank you for your support my J.E.L.L.i. Beans...


                                      SPREAD THAT J.E.L.L.i. !!
