Also, this article is excellent:

Also, every-n, don't feel like PM'ing this, Bubblegum Octopus is apparently doing 3 songs for this split.. its still on.. haha.. he's covering me on one song, that's what's taking so long.. but he's done one song.. his voice got fucked up recently.. but he's all better now. So, I'm just waiting on him, but he's still working on it. My side is 3 songs and 11 minutes, and his side will be 3 songs so the whole thing will probably be right around 15-20 minutes. Should be a good 3" CD if you can issue it like that. Haha, so sorry it's taking so long, but it'll be sweet. Also, you get to release the first official bubblegum octopus physical product...
