Editing

Good lord, how many times will I learn this one?

It's not the creative force in me that has a problem, it's the editor. I make stuff I like and that's fun. Then I try to make it sound like perfect, uptight, over produced tripe. I did this on my book so much I finally had to include some of the stuff I would have axed crossed out. With music, there's no such recovery. You can crush it in the mix easily. It's only butterfly wings.

To believe ourselves. That's the whole thing.

And let our fragile ideosynchrasies sit. And get on with it.

White, uptight, and ALL*RIGHT. I guess it's a good thing lots of people are mastering their own stuff now. It lets you see what they really, really believe in.
