You know, not to sound corny or anything but I’ve been hearing the name “Alex” endlessly the last week or so, it’s a curious little coincidence that he pops back up in this story along with a hurricane in the gulf. As for my own microcosm, while I listen to “Coast to Coast AM,” a caller named Alex is talking as we speak. This is strange to me because these pages were made about a year ago.

That last bit of information may come as a surprise to you. Maybe we’ve mentioned it, maybe we haven’t, but what you read today was created a year ago along with the rest up to the end of the album to maintain a robust buffer, so, come what may, we can almost guarantee you a page on schedule every time.

In fact, I’m working on the last track of the next album as we speak, it’s crazy to see all this in retrospect.
