Pinback is no more

Ugh... this suck.

I have just come to the realization that making music in this climate is financially irresponsible to my family and ultimately humiliating to my psyche.
Im going to finish and release the work I've already spent my heart and tears on, but even that is likely to ruin me.
My kids are growing and my downstairs studio would probably be put to better use as a bedroom.
I'll keep a small setup with which I can use for scoring, editing and things when they come up.
Also quitting Facebook and Twitter and using that energy to concentrate on writing in my journal.
Chucking the booze as well will help with that.
I just trying to make a mature decision and be a responsible husband and father.

It's a shame that craptastic shows such as American Idol make stars out of tweeny brats while true musicians struggle to get noticed. When they do, it's then a struggle to sell any records and support their art. Good luck to Crow, because he is doing what he needs to do in order to care for his family. Sucks for us that no more Pinback (unless he does actually release his final material)
