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 MySpace (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.

It is definately fun to hear demos and see how they change in to the final result Mark. I think a EP should have five or six tracks including eventually remixes.

1. At least 4, but I think 6 is ideal. Better yet, do two sections: the first with the original 4 - 6 tracks, and the second with a remix of each. I'll volunteer to do one if you'll let me.




2. Either way works.




3. It's okay to use the inside joke as long as you explain it at length in the liner notes in typical Mark Nicholas style. ;-) In all honesty, the anecdotes, rants, and vignettes set your liner notes/packaging apart from most others.
