As you may have heard, I've been toiling away for the past couple months to produce a follow-up to Ain't So Green. I'm about 80% done now, and it should be out this summer.

The only problem is, IT DOESN'T HAVE A NAME! I've enlisted you, dear fans and friends, to help me find an appropriate solution.

The below potential album titles are taken from songs which will appear on the record, with the exception of "Gutsy and Smart", which will not (but hey, it's got a good name). Please vote for one of these options, and add a comment if you want to propose an alternative name.

I'm not guaranteeing that I'll use the most popular choice, but I'd sure appreciate your input. My Quidplayer now has all the songs referenced by the title options (#1 and #2 are from Buoy, #3 from Gutsy and Smart, #4 from Every Punch You Throw, and #5 from a new song, Crazy for Love). Dig it:

Gutsy and Smart. . . . because YOU are Gutsy and Smart.

I'm glad to see this is one of those non-binding polls...

I say "Brighter Than a Buoy" for 2 reasons:
1.
It's not the exact and actual title of one of the tunes, so hopefully all the reviews won't focus on "the title track"
2. I worry about how people would react to a title like "Gutsy and Smart," although they'd be hard-pressed to argue. :-) Also, see reason #1.

What about simply "The Antidote"? Or even just "Antidote"? It's short, intriguing, and somehow it seems to capture the spirit of many of your songs... (perhaps because they offer so many of us a quiet, gentle antidote for our blues :) ).

Although I'm not sure I really like any of these titles enough to be decisive about it, I liked Gutsy and Smart the most because when people talk about your album they'd have to say it was gutsy and smart, and then, of course, you'd be loved for your art. Carsie, you're so good at finding creative ways to say hello and goodbye, I think you can do better than the titles you have listed so far. All the best!

On my iPod I call all your demos "Bring me Flowers"...just to throw you on another track
