GREAT MINDS OF PURGATORY
released JANUARY 5, 2018
RELEASE 31
Six outtakes from late 2017 and early 2018, recorded for but left off of Heaven Doesn't Send Its Best (more on this in a few days). "Paramount" had a good enough riff to get reused on "Paramount to the Cause" in 2019. "A Warm Hello" is okay but I can see why it didn't make the cut. "Stitchache" was the 1 of these I know for a fact actually had a shot at making it onto the album, but I wanted the album to be more overtly "pop" and this song definitely was not that. The only reason I've never remade it is because I can't remember how I played it. "Reverse Locked" isn't bad either but I didn't record it to a click, and when it came time to do the drums, I had a hard time following the beat. That's why it isn't on the album. The cool thing is, in a few days I'll decide whether or not I made the right calls.
