The Bungled and The Botched, 14 tracks, recorded in Oakland, CA and Portland, OR respectively:

This musical process (as with any creative process) can be daunting.  not so much the process of the said "write/record" loop, but the problems concerning motivation versus drive.  The need for productivity and the set backs caused by means of creating that productivity.  These set backs could include necessity for materials outside financial means, below standard health habits, and negative effects due to an inability to change one's environment. 

I own nothing materially worth anything.  But am instead a participant in a sect of people who exist to create and become buckled under their own self-critiscm and cross examination pertaining to their creations.  Everything else that doesn't concern passion, love and the pursuit to dig (and to dig deep) remains immaterial in this sect.  This can cause one to lag in the hue of general perception.  Eating dirt is delicious, but it can be devalued to the point of losing its taste.

I am thoroughly concerned with how much other assholes affect what i think about myself, you know?  Are their ideals poisioning ours?  Or is it me?  Am I allowing myself to feel as if I am dreg?  I respectively choose the latter.

It is still romantic (first word that comes to mind) to not identify with the idea of work.  It is romantic to exist, with a smile, amongst dread and the art of scraping by.  It is imperitive to us, The Bungled and The Botched, to realize that, in a small amount of time we will die and the "what-if's" that come after that is a beautiful blunder that should be truly exciting to us all.  But, who the fuck knows, right?

Dilapedated Beds, Broken Shoes, A Myriad of Different and Mysterious Ailments, The Incessant Need for Duct Tape and Super Glue, The Derelict Neighborhoods, The Long and Harrowing Mornings, The Zest Then Regret, The Hair in the Tub, Boutings with Black Magick, The Circumstantial Hygiene, The Want for Youth while Growing Old, The Romance of Ol' Scratch, The Adoration of an Absent Family, and The Beginning of Sinning.
