Welcome to my second album. Not as good as the first, I think, but maybe I needed to go backwards to realise which direction I need to go in in future.

This is all made on very very crappy small placky lappy speakers and I suspect it probably sounds much better (less bad) on cheap speakers than on anything posh and unforgiving.

And here on Day Two I already have three followers !!! - visits almost in double figures !!!! - and one sale !!!!!!!!!!!!! - and it is thanks to the wonderful Ciderlord and his purchase that my upload track limit size thingy whatever has doubled from under 300MB to 600MB. I didn't know this until I'd finished making this track and was about to upload it - so this track is still short - by my future standards.

However, obviously, you can get the same effect just by playing this track twice in a row. Or ten times in a row. Or only half of it. Or thee seconds of it. Or none of it. There is no correct length of time to endure my music. If you can stop listening just before you start getting bored, that'd be perfect. And this is why my biggest fans out there are the ones who have never heard any of my music.

Ironic isn't it. Or something. It's like with my mum. Going thru all her stuff, I have noticed that her favourite grandchildren were the ones who hardly ever sent her any cards or letters or gifts or whatever. And the one grandchild who inundated her with lots of stuff - was the one who was least liked. Life is unfair. People can spot it when you are trying too hard to be liked. And so, with this track that is weaker than yesterday's it might appear that I have stopped trying - and that has got to be a positive thing in advancing my musical career. Though obviously it isn't true. It's all just luck, and lack-of.
