Another Lavos-title! Traveling Salesman is a collection of remakes of songs from the non-released 2006 j2 album "Look". Some of them got out on like, Armies, though. But yeah, most of these are reimaginings, or just polishings of the that. Except for Shoes, which is exactly how it was in 2006, but with singing now. So that's pretty cool.
This album is unfinished - it has a cop-out song (7) and some poorly mixed things (5, 6) and two songs are missing. It seems I am bad at complying with deadlines, but do not wish to admit this to myself. Davefest is also postponed until some of the songs get done. (This.. all of this - it's partly my fault and also partly others'. I apologize to you guys I've been blaming.)
