CLARITY:
My bad. It seems as though there are a number of people who have had some difficulty understanding some of the content in my last few posts. Sometimes I forget that things I say can be misunderstood, misconstrued or misinterpreted and I have a few scapegoats for the blame in this regard. Firstly, I blame it on my upbringing in the place I grew up. There isn’t much I can do about that. You can take a kid out of New York, but you can’t take New York out of the kid. Secondly, I think I developed a certain language barrier when I served time in a Bolivian death camp at the age of 7 after stealing a cantaloupe from the local market. Being in the heart of my formative years and thrown in with other hardened criminals like myself who could speak no English, has of course affected my ability to communicate. (I can tell you I’ve never stolen a cantaloupe since.) So I toiled over this dilemma, and found a place online that will serve as a “Klayton to English” guide, if you will. It would take you only 30 or so seconds to read and will give you greater insight into how to interpret much of what I say. (It’s all in English too, which will make it easier for most of you.) There are two links, and all you have to do is simply combine the information in both links to get a full understanding. Feel free to keep these links handy in the event you go back and read any of my former ‘blogs’ or find yourself lost during this one (or any future ones for that matter.)

MUSIC:
Here are some of the most recent musical developments for anyone who may care about such things. The version of “Goodbye” I’ve been mentioning is finally available for download through iTunes etc. “Goodbye – Klayton Revision” and DJ RIB’s (Rommel-Razed in Black) remix of “Frozen” are both available as part of a “digital remix” package. I think you will be seeing a lot more things like this from me – releasing one or two songs at a time digitally. Welcome to the new world, boys and girls.

So with that being said, we’ve already serviced “Shapeshifter” and “Transistor” for digital download. In the next few weeks you will be able to get these suckers for a mere $.99 each. Jimmy from Management will let you all know when it has posted.

So I’ve almost officially put “The Way She Wants to Die” into the demo bin. This means the song will most likely make it to the CD and is pretty much written. Now the next step is to track all the instruments, edit and program, and cut vocals. I’m knee deep in some new tracks right now. “Blood From the Stone” and “Waiting…” are in intermediate stages. It’s obvious to me that there is a good chance that I will have more material here than I will put on the upcoming CD. This of course got my wheels spinning a bit. I think there is a very good chance that I will do a “Beta Cessions 02” when the CD is done. This time I do plan on it containing more unreleased material etc. The songs that don’t make the cut for the CD will get finished for the Beta Cessions 02 (or whatever it will be titled.) It works out because it gives you guys more music if you want it, and it gives me a reason to exist for a little while longer. Win/win situation.

ENOUGH:
I’m pretty confident I could continue to blather on for paragraphs on end about nothing in particular, so I’ll take the wiser route and shut up. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I do hope the “Klayton to English” guide above has helped some (although it wasn’t as necessary in this blog as maybe some of the former ones.)

Well, I’ve always thought that “Kudos” were candy bars, but everyone seems to be giving them out to me digitally over on the left side of the page here. I’d love to send you all Kudos too in return, but I would need all your mailing addresses and then I’d have to find a convenience store that had enough in stock, buy envelopes, write out shipping labels... Ugh. Too much work for now – we’ll have to put this on the back burner for now.
