Adventure Thing #35 - Album Title Update (Patreon)

As you may or may not know, I (Brian) currently have a 2-year-old daughter, and her first couple of years of life have inspired many of the songs on this new album.  Most are still about perennial IFD themes like growing up and finding your place in the world, but there's definitely been a new tinge of perspective to my writing as I've embarked on this new adventure of fatherhood.

I bring this up because a couple of weeks ago I actually had my second child, which has been a whole new adventure in and of itself.  But while we were in the hospital I saw a sign that I didn't understand, but that seemed immediately relevant and resonant to me.

It said 'Stereotactic Radiosurgery'.

This may seem rudimentary to any of you with any medical training whatsoever, but I had never heard the term before, and after a quick google I discovered that it's a treatment involving extremely focused radiation beams to treat problems in the brain. 

While our working title for this album has been 'Canon Eyes', 'Stereotactic Radiosurgery' has completely won me over in the past couple weeks as I've continued to mull it over.  That's exactly what we try to do with IFD songs, provide a focused laser beam / thought that can hopefully target the problems people are having in their brains / minds.  I'd say that's even truer with this new album than with our previous ones. 

So, that's the adventure update for today, feel free to weigh in with your thoughts :)  

Next step, drum tracking!
