That's good. So you guys weren't happy with it personally, or did the label kind of spur you on to do a little more with it or was it a combination of that? No. Like I said, I think that they would've put out what we gave them, but we weren't happy ourselves. We really wanted it to be a classic record and we really wanted it to sound sonically superior to a lot of what's come out in the past couple of years. And a big part of that - and now I'm going to get technical - was having every beat tracked out and being able to get a good mix on everything whereas some of the beats on the Spitting Images record were just stereo mixes and there was no way to get a better mix. For the fans, however few we have. . .
(laughs) . . . those songs will be available eventually. We plan on doing another mixtape and we'll include those songs on the mixtape.
Yeah that was announced in 2005, too, but alright then. . . (laughs) Yeah, we've been slacking, I guess.
Well you've all had your solo stuff come out, too. Yeah, we've had a lot of stuff pop up that was unexpected. We put out Idiomatic Vol. 1 - that was our first mixtape - in 2005 and that sort of grew and the buzz grew off of that mixtape. We passed it out and people were getting it all over the place. We were getting emails from people from different parts of the country and even other countries saying that they had our mixtape and we were kind of shocked. So, that sort of spurred us on to aim our sights high for the album. Then, while we were recording the Scribbling Idiots album, One Man's Trash came out, which is my solo album. Actually, by the time that came out, it was almost a year old, but that came out in the summer of 2006. And then right after that, Theory Hazit was approached to do a solo record. So, he did his solo record and it was supposed to come out in the Fall or Winter of 2006, but then the buzz that was created around his solo record helped it to get better distribution, so it got pushed back. I mean, it's official release date was [July 07]. But we're happy for it, because it does great things, not only for Theo, but for Scribbling Idiots, because he's gotten worldwide distribution and a lot of great publicity in major markets and media outlets
Yeah, it's been a busy year or so. What would you say is the mission or end goal of Scribbling Idiots? It's really pretty simple. And that's just to make great music that is glorifying to God and that is edifying to the listener. That's really it. I think as a group, we're open to whatever God has for us. So, if things happen that demand us to continue to focus on the collective effort, then that's what we'll do. If it doesn't seem like that's possible and it would be easier to help each other out doing solo efforts, then we'll probably do that. But no matter what, we'll continue to work together to make music that is glorifying to God and edifying to the listener.
