So the album will be called "My Boarding House Reach?" Looking forward to it. I dig a lot of the clips. :thumbup:
Etymology
So called because the lodgers at a boardinghouse, dining at the same time, might have to reach past each other for dishes and condiments.

Noun
boardinghouse reach (plural boardinghouse reaches)

The ability to reach a long distance across a table to get desired food.
He developed his boardinghouse reach in the oil fields.
The act of reaching across a table to get desired food, often considered poor etiquette because it invades others' personal space.

It's definitely snippets. It's out of context of course but some sound weird and some sound great with a wide range of styles

ODD.
Just what I’ve been asking for.

One and done on this too. What a beautiful and intriguing video, but I’m done until the album is in my hands. I’m not getting burnt out on another Jack project vis-à-vis Dodge and Burn. It flowed, it was heavy, it was sweet, it was twangy and all around strange.
High hopes.

I dig this. Like, a lot. It feels new, for the most part. I can't wait for this album.

I was listening to it through head-phones at work, and the "beck-ish" noise spots got me froze. That said, the actual music spots were kinda cool.

Very cool indeed.

Which of these sounds like a single to you? The track at 1.40 sounds most likely to me.

Super diverse sound but it also sounds like it might have a lot of tracks. Maybe a double LP?
