Ok. I've collected enough recordings over the past 2-3 years. I've decided to release an EP. Most people don't know what an EP really is. Well, if you're curious look up Flight Of The Conchords and check out their first EP "The Distant Future."
As stated by wikipedia:

'An extended play (EP) is a vinyl record, CD, or music download which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as an LP. Usually, an EP has around 10–28 minutes of music, a single has up to 10 minutes, and an album generally has 30–80 minutes. Mini-LPs generally contain 20–30 minutes of music.'

Realistically I'm probably going to put almost an albums' worth on it and include a couple of acoustic live tracks but the actual presence of the CD will contain the feel of an EP. The cuts will sound more raw, some of them stripped and act as a basic representation of my music as an artist.

These are the tracks I'm considering (in no particular order):
Spider Web
Polarities
More Than Just Friends
The Dancer
Away
Ophelia
Yours Truly
Time Candles
Black Widow (Piano Instrumental)
Gay Guys
Armed With Love
I Wish You Would
Desperate
The Relationship Mirror
Sunshine Stay
Just Another Crush (Live or redone)
Things Change (Live)
Last Lullaby (Live)
Blank Forecast (Live)

See, that's already two albums' worth. 20 tracks and an EP has maybe 8 at the very most if your songs are short. Hmmm...

If any one has any ideas, I'm open. Most of these are recorded already. My goal is to finish this by the end of April before I go to California for a couple weeks. *Crosses fingers*


P.S. I'm looking to release this so that I can pass it out to label execs and at the same time have a product to sell when I play live. I also want to include songs that will be received well on the radio (independent stations) as well as grab attention. Which ones do you like? :)
