Album Update

Album Update!
Current mood: stressed

I am busy working on my album.

Tonight I hope to finish most of the vocal tracks, and all that needs to be done are some drums and some spicing up courtesy of Gabe.

I still am hoping to have the physical copy and it up on Snocap at my show, and then the iTunes version 4-6 weeks after that- So mid-late July.





Live show info: I am having:
Gabe H on Lead Keys,
Austin B on Lead Guitar,
David P on Drums,
and me on Keys/Guitar/Vocals

Album Delay

I am sorry but excited to announce that my album is going to be delayed by a month or two.
You Have TO trust me on this. I have been debating this for a while and decided I need to work on it more.


Reasons:
-My best friend Gabe(I would consider him my producer) and I are going to master this album and work out all the little kinks.

-I want to add a song or two.

-I am starting to play shows and need to start working on my live act.


DO NOT WORRY!
My album is still going to come out, I am not canceling it, but believe me this is going to sound killer.

Guest vocals, new songs, new instruments, new technique.



On a side note: expect a new Beatles cover and a new song posted within the next two weeks.

Jacob W- EP On iTunes late June

In case you haven't heard:



Ok, So I am excited to announce my album that I am putting out this summer



The Title:

It has disappeared. Have you?





I'm not sure of the exact date it will land on iTunes, yes thats right, iTunes, so until I find out the date it will be up, the release date is not known.

Tell all your friends.

it will have7 FULL tracks and some snippets for transitions in between most songs.

here is the album art work (Photo taken by Jordan Douglas in Louisiana)



more details will come soon,


Love Jacob W



P.S. the songs that are on the album aren't the same versions as the ones on my myspace, the ones on the album sound 10x better and are mastered.

it sounds sick, you have to trust me.

Why I love mewithoutYou

They are the best band I've seen live (without a doubt)

they are so energetic and the fans get allll into them.

mwY also helps me get to sleep on sleepless nights like this because of all their amazing harmonies and powerful lyrics



Aaron Weiss is an amazing person (front man for mwY). All of this thoughts and opinions parallel mine. Here are two videos (one a live performance, and another an Interview of Aaron Weiss)

Two albums you need to listen to:

Kevin Devine- Put Your Ghost to Rest
and
Manchester Orchestra- I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child


Every time I listen to these CDs they get better and better
I just got the Kevin Devine CD, but I have been a loyal listener to Manchester Orchestra ( who is amazing live)

Pills to Cure and Induce Austisim

LINK


You take one pill and it will induce autism, and using a different pill will snap you out of it. I think this is insane. One of the coolest things I have heard in a long time. Scary because used the wrong way might be used as a street drug, but used for good people could accomplish great feats of the mind.

Edit: As I'm thinking, this might be a horrible thing. It will decrease the awareness of the severity of the people who actually suffer from this horrible mental disorder. (Sorry if this sentence is hard to understand, its the best way I could put it into words)
