After all the fear promoted about DIY mastering, it's amazing how enjoyable it is. And amazing how it sounded good before, but the clarity of mastering highlights how shit it was!
It's been way too long... over the last year it was great to release a few tunes like fishbowl. Now, there's many hours of nearly finished tunes - at least a 4 disc album, possibly 6 discs, excluding the more recent sessions.

There are different degrees of conformity though. I wonder if the sex pistols, in all their rebellion, conformed to the style expected of them and lost some of their creative freedom? I admire the way Ween just do whatever they want on their albums , it re
