First of all, happy birthday, Canada!

It's a national holiday for us Canucks today, the birth of our nation. 141 years!

OK, pardon the patriotism.... ;)

I've had a really busy couple of past weeks here, getting married on June 14th to the best friend I've ever had, and ever will have.

I also received my new monitors, a pair of M-Audio BX8a's....and they've really opened my ears up to what I am doing.

Which brings me to my next point: the EP is very close to completion now.

With the new monitors, I am now putting the songs through their final mixdown and I think I've been surprised a number of times. The demos, as you hear them here on MySpace and other places online, are about the best I could do with what I was previously using, and now...

I think that the final versions of these songs, plus the ones that no one has heard yet [been saving some new material for the E.P. - It just didn't feel right only putting songs I had already posted online in demo form], are actually gonna be worthy of releasing.

It's something I am going to be able to stand behind.

That's a great feeling.

So is this:
