spring comes slowly to this old friend still I'm frozen, I still live alone in time memories fade, senses numb one forgets how it feels to have loved completely love well young man while you still can once your leaves turn, you won't love again in time memories fade, senses numb one forgets how it feels to have loved completely is it special when your lonely will you spend your whole life in a studio apartment with a cat for a wife the seasons when they call you do you barricade the door are you stubborn, stubborn, stubborn to the core is it your way or the highway? is it your way or the highway? is it your way or the highway? is it your way or the highway? ~lyrics by pedro the lion~

about

"Dables is Mediocre: THE UNFINISHED ALBUM"

These tracks are what I could salvage from the abandoned sessions of "Dables is Mediocre". It is not mixed as well as it should be, but I am tired of these tracks sitting on a hard drive, so I figured it's time to finally put out what was mostly finished from the sessions. I like to think of it as the Dables version of Smiley Smile by The Beach Boys, haha!

The tracks were recorded throughout roughly Oct 2014-Feb 2016. For many reasons, none of which you should worry about too much, the album was never completely finished.

This release is missing about 5 songs (and some of these aren't at what I would call '100%' either) that are in varying levels of completion, but incomplete enough that they can't be released. Sorry 'bout that, but here's what remains from that year and a half of recording! RAWK AND/OR ROLE no matter what!! DABLES WILL NEVER DIE.

PS - If I ever get around to it, I will re-release this album with the tracks that aren't on here and with everything remixed and remastered. Consider this the sample version.
