^^  Umm....  Is it possible to live on $25K in NYC?   Just wondering...

define 'live'

Food that you don't have to kill yourself, electric lights from inside your residence, running water when
it's not raining, and an absence of indoor-waterfall when it is raining, maybe indoor temperatures that
don't go above 100 degrees, or below 10 for more than a day or two at a time...

It is possible, but you'll end up living in a shared apartment in Rapeville and eating lots of Ramen.  (Or you gig on the side and keep your fingers crossed you'll make rent for your shared loft in Muggingtown where you eat lots of pasta.)  It's an expensive place to live, but it's home and I'd have a hard time leaving it.

In NYC, a single person can make up to $44,350 and still qualify for public housing.  I think that says a lot about the cost of living.

This is possible. Common, no. Easy? Nah. But doable? Totally.

You only say that because you'd view living in Rapetown as a plus.

I would love to live in new york, rapetown or no

[insignifikunt]

I'm really liking what I am hearing -- not about New York but the songs!

That's still an impressive effort though.

Don't be sad. Be happy that four creative people went into a room for 12 hours and that all four are coming out relatively unscathed. Most of the artists I know would have been all stabby somewhere around the two hour mark.

This is true.
I'm not sad, to be honest, even with those 4 great minds, I thought 8 in 8 might have been a bit of a stretch.
It is fantastic that they all survived. The would would have been a darker place without those 4 minds.

I think it has proven that it takes an average of minimum of 2 hours to do a decent track .....I wonder if the guiness book of records can check if this is some sort of world record

B.A.N.D. (sic) or their team, should put in for
the record, and see what Guiness does

i wonder if two recording studios with
two sound engineers could lessen the time.
instrumentals in one, vocals in the other.
or odd songs in one, and even songs in the other.

the increase in communication effort,
and everyone going back and forth,
could negate the increase in efficiency


i also wonder if they did this a half dozen times,
if they couldn't lay a song down an hour.
practice could decrease the time.


it appears Neil can write several songs an hour ...
