An Anthology of Sorts

Dr Wippit • October 28, 2012

In 2011 I decided to start documenting all the songs I've written over the years. There are dozens of them, many I've written along with some really great artists. As I started documenting the lyrics I looked to see how many I had good recordings of. I decided there had to be enough good songs here that never got a proper release, and would be worth 99 cents each. So I set about remixing and remastering and ended up releasing these 15 songs as An Anthology of Sorts. The back stories and lyrics can be found in individual song blogs.
