I've been trying really hard to focus in on one progression from the list per night. In my head, the record will get done (or at least the initial music part of it) quicker. Whether or not this is actually true is still open for debate, however. What I should have worked on tonight was the Double Drop D progression(s). Between figuring out how the structure breaks down for the suggestions that J. had (which I am at least going to consider, if not embrace), and then figuring out how the bigger progression in that song will be used outside of it, clearly there is a lot of work that needs to be done on that front.
What I did do was look back at another of the progressions in progress, and spend some time trying to work on that. Made a little bit of progress, but not as much as I would have liked. I think what I really need is a knock-down, drag-out writing session with B. Y'know, one of those things where we both sit in a room with acoustic guitars, and... oh wait, we're in different states. Wonder how one of those would work via Skype, or if they are really possible.
Regardless of needing a writing session, I really need to step up my productivity when it comes to working on these songs, whether it's musically, or diving in from a lyrical standpoint, it just needs to happen. I've waited 4 years for this, I just need to dig in my heels and work.
Still waiting to hear back from J. on the ProTools experimenting he was doing. I'm really curious to hear what he ends up with.
Iron & Wine tomorrow with R. It dawns on me now that I should've spent more time listening to them in the last two weeks. Oh well, nothing like going into a show not really knowing what to expect. Should be fun anyway, though. It'll be live music, it can't possibly be bad.
