My office gives us two days off the July 4 holiday, so I decided to burn a day of vacation and extend it to three. As a result, I had five days off. Nice!

For most of that weekend, I was working in the studio, recording material for what would eventually become the fifth full-length unfinished Eponymous 4 album. It's called 「健忘症」 (Kenboushou). I've got a lot of material for someone who doesn't actually have a music career.

A few weeks back, I went through all the songs I've recorded in the last two years to see if I could come up with a pretend "best-of" collection. I would call it Original Confidence, which is the Japanese equivalent of the Billboard charts.

Here's what it would sound like:

  1. Untold Demons
  2. Revulsion
  3. Epiphany
  4. Destruction Baby
  5. Dusk
  6. Go
  7. The One to Make You Whole
  8. Imprint
  9. NaSoPiAlMo No. 5
  10. enigmatics IV
  11. Silver Sting
  12. What I Deserve
  13. Speechless
