ASCII Cupcake
1. In general, how many original (new) songs need to be on an EP? (Just asking 'cause, you know, I'm working on an EP (working title is the subject line), and I want to meet with expectations and all. I've got 4 solid new songs, and couple of "danglers" I'm not sure about... but I'm all about quality over quantity. Or, perhaps more to the point given my personal situation right now, finish-sometime-this-decadeability.)

2. Do you want to hear early demo stage samples as I work, or would rather wait 'til they're much more polished?

3. Does the working title frighten you away with its oddness, or is it okay to make it an inside joke as long as it uses cool words like "ASCII" and "cupcake"?

PS - We expect to be going in for more tests on Zoe this Wednesday. I've decided to avoid posting about that stuff here on LJ (to keep this blog a little bit more music focused), so for extremely current news about Zoe as it happens, please add me as a friend on Facebook or Twitter. Don't worry - I'll add you even if I don't know you well, as long as you actually want to read about my daughter. I'm just trying to spare casual Cosmicity fans my day-to-day reports.

1. I have a separate idea for official remixes that I'll announce at a later date, so probably not remixes... but maybe I'll have a couple of alternate versions or something. I like doing fast songs slow and vice versa. Or I might finish one of the other tracks as an instrumental, just to have a 5th track.

2. Funny you should mention the demos - I always save my demo tracks from my old albums, so I still have demos of tons of stuff going all the way back to Isabella. I was kicking around the idea of posting a few for laughs sometime. But in this case, I'm kinda interested in teasing the work in advance just to get a feel for how it might be received.

3. Cool.
