A Few Days Longer

"A Few Days Longer" is the debut and only solo album by singer-songwriter Jillymob, released on January 4, 2010 on AirPlay Records. The album consists of 12 songs about sadness, feeling left out, disses to Mean Girlz and discussing the Team Blue Disease. It charted fairly low, with many reviewers citing its shallow and immature nature as a low point.

Background
A Few Days Longer is Jillymob's first solo album, revolving around her personal experiences. It has twelve songs about sadness, feeling left out, these people, and her disease. Jilly, in an interview, claimed that many of her ideas came from experiences and emotions as well as poetry and diary entries. Her biggest inspiration, unsurprisingly, was the treatment she received due to being afflicted with Team Blue Disease.

Release and promotion
The album's release cycle was fairly inefficient, with the album only existing on homemade discs with custom covers. Rocket Slug and her friends attempted to pass these out in school, but many copies ended up trashed or broken due to lack of interest. Offering them at Fire and Ice gigs and online streaming seemed to do the trick, garnering a bit of support and finances that Jillymob invested exclusively in Team Blue Disease research.

Much of the promotion came from the internet and word-of-mouth, which is not unheard of for small singer-songwriters. However, much of the local alternative scene proudly claimed Jilly as a "revolutionary", with a handful of musicians citing her as an inspiration to all and even inviting her to play gigs. Jilly declined, however, as the pressure of going solo was too much for her. Shortly after the album's release, she became a member of Fire and Ice, lending her songwriting skills and unique voice to further evolve the band's sound.

Trivia

 * Rocket Slug said the CD was fun to make and recommends that every indie musician should give it a chance once in their lives.
 * Lexi's favorite part of production was getting to do additional parts for songs, such as mocking the Mean Girlz and mixing in the studio.
 * Billybob, Jilly's older brother, loves We Gotta Rock, citing it as an essential summer song and giving it his seal of approval. He is extraordinarily proud of his sister and her accomplishments, despite her lack of commercial success.
 * Screwball86 does feel somewhat sorry for Jillymob, but he thought "You don't need to be conceited and have an entire CD dedicated to have us forced to feel sorry for you. This is the reason I don't like teen singers." His cousin Will soon apologized and said he loved the music.
