Work that mutha fucker

Sad news, unfortunately.

Haven't updated the blog in a week because my unemployment ended this week and I've been busy with work. Now, before you congratulate me or think that I'll be able to buy all kinds of funky plugins or gear now I'll have to explain my situation a bit. I've been almost completely unemployed for two years now.  The Finnish government doesn't like that, so they've crafted these laws which state that unemployed people must accept any job they're offered. Even jobs that don't pay anything. Which is exactly what happened to me this week. They offered me a non-paying job which I had to take or I'd lose my (very small) unemployment benefits. Yes, it's more or less slave labour or at the very least a law loophole which the companies take advantage of.

Thankfully it's only 3 months and there's a very, very slim chance that they'll offer me a real job after that period. Still, it couldn't had happened at a worse time as it means my former 8 hours a day of music making just shrunk to an hour or two, assuming I'm not dead tired after a full day of slave labour.

What does it mean to the blog and the project then? I'm not calling it quits quite yet but naturally the likelihood of completing my noble quest is now even smaller than before. To have any kind of a chance I must really focus my mind now because I simply don't have the time for sidesteps or just lounging about aimlessly.

I would've liked to include a new track but I've been really tired this week. I have some unfinished tracks but I don't want to put them on the blog. If you're really interested, they can be found on my Soundcloud site, some almost finished, some just rough ideas.
