That's funny, Estress! Great minds think alike, I suppose. ;) And about, "Strip My Mind," that was a very difficult cut for me. I really love the song. I think the verses are some of AK's best moments, both melodically and lyrically. I just find the chorus to be somewhat of a letdown. It seems to simmer when it should explode. Don't get me wrong - I LIKE the chorus, but I LOVE the verses, and it seems that the chorus of the song should be the strongest part. Plus, it didn' really fit into the structure of my album. I wanted to keep the songs in the order they appear on the real 'SA' and including "Strip My Mind" would have meant 4 slow songs in a row, which would have hurt the pace of the album in my opinion (boy am I a music geek or what? ;p) Needless to say, I'm glad I don't REALLY have to cut 'SA' in half, as I wouldn't want to have to go without this fantastic song and many others that didn't make it to my tracklisting. -- Tribute To Beeninsane

In reply to: Estress 's message, "marshall... I too made a 14 song disc, my own Stadium Arcadium. And I kid you not, you tracklisting is almost exactly identical to mine. Execpt how could you leave out Strip my mind?" on 16:17:43 11/08/06 Wed
