Octopus  Sun  triple CD "Just So On The Pillow"

So one day last year my PC died.  Big bummer, but what can you do?  So, Apple had just came out with the cool new iMacs, the ones that have all the working innards flattened and fit in behind the flatscreen monitor.  I splurged on one and began to fiddle around with the DVD burning software, launching a series of home DVDs, as well as a bunch of very cool concert DVDs from footage that I had taken in Japan when I lived there.   Check out  the Caveat Emptor Video pages for more info... 

Eventually, I got around to learning the Garageband software, with its accompanying loops, which was REALLY fun!  I got on a roll and recorded about 100 minutes of original music, which was more than what could fit on just one CD, so I decided that the project would be a "double album."  So I started recording a few acoustic covers, the songs that I'd been practicing on the guitar for about three years and were easy enough that I thought I could get away with singing them on record.  I played one song after another, and eventually, there was too much music to fit on two CDs, so it becamse a "TRIPLE ALBUM"!!  I knew that was going to seem pretentious, but if it's the only album I ever produce, I might as well make it pretty extensive.  Playing around with a list of names, like Black Hole, Poe Moe, Whoami, T.G.I.M., Incredibly Dense Extra-Terrestrial Object (I.D.E.T.O), Itchy Knee Sun, Octopus Sun, Pleasant Skulls, Einstein's Lamda (or just "Lamda"), I eventually (and after conferring with friends) settled on Octopus Sun.  For the project title, I had a few other thoughts: Idiot Slumber, Idiot Core, Slumbercore, Ich Bin Ein Jelly Donut, Beautiful and contagious, Just So On The Pillow, As I am, so you were, If chaos is natural, why create order?, Neutral Yonic Machinery, You can't think a typo.  In the end, of course, Just So On The Pillow won the day.  I've sent it out to a few friends, and it's had some feedback.  Let me know if you want a copy. 

My collaborators, Naoko and Zen, as well as the album cover art.
