My Next Album

by Alan on July 6, 2010

Today I wrote the first verse for my next album. So now it’s time to get ahead of myself and work on the album title and cover design. Having a clear direction early on helps me focus on whatever story I want to tell with the next album. So below you will find a couple different directions that I’ve been thinking about going in. Let me know in the comments what you think.

First, I could start drama with another recording artist. We all saw how well that worked for the East coast rappers vs the West coast rappers in the mid-90s:


The full original title of the above album was No, The World Is Mine (Seriously, I Called Dibs So Back Off You British Twat. PS. I Know Everything), but while the label didn’t object to the word “twat”, they did object to me claiming to be omnipresent… something about a musician comparing himself to any higher power didn’t sit right.

So then I thought maybe I’d make my singing debut:


But Luke wouldn’t let me borrow his copy of AutoTune, so, that probably won’t work.

I could stick with the traditional love songs, those always seem to win fangirls:


But I don’t think my girlfriend would approve of that.

Maybe I could just sing about video games?


…I mean, it’s not like that’s been done before. Right?

Or maybe I could give in and become a television show-themed band like everyone else:


As you can see, I’m having a difficult time finding a direction I want to go in. Any suggestions?

LOL jk

Bwahahahaha Oh, the hilarity.

Perhaps you should try something totally different? Maybe some subject you been thinking of doing, have yet too. Maybe you could write a horror story?

Ok, yeah. That might not be the best idea. But you can see what I’m getting at.

I love the Goku/Krillin 110% spoof. I cracked up for a long time. When you have more written, let us know, and I’m sure we’d be glad to offer up suggestions for a title! :)

Dude, that’s some seriously funny stuff right there. The way you write and present your ideas and/or jokes is awesome, this reminds me of the “Giving a F*ck” video :-)

I wonder if you still need help with your next album title/concept. I doubt you do, you’ve done so well so far.

HAH! I was basically tearing up when I read “Sonic Screwdriver”. Best. Album covers. Ever.
