I should have recorded tonight. I'm well aware of this fact. Instead, tonight was a night for checking into something that had bothered me for quite some time, and determining if something B. said the other night might possibly be true.
First, the something that has bothered me: Tomorrow (July 24th) is the one year anniversary of the blog. And yet, the numbered days don't match up. I've known they wouldn't essentially since the beginning of the month, when it slowly dawned on me that something didn't add up right. Last night, I figured out that there was a ten day stretch in March, right before I came back full time, that had been miscalculated. This accounts for the error, so for a bit last night and a bit tonight, I have been going back and changing the numbering on the blog, in the hopes that tomorrow's numbers will be right. I'm up through the end of April so far. Hopefully by the end of the day tomorrow, I'll have it all sorted out.
As for the second thing... B. had expressed fear that we wouldn't have enough songs the other night. So instead of working on current stuff this evening after work, I took a serious look at the list. It scares me to admit that she might well be onto something with her fears. Don't get me wrong, on one level, we have more than enough ideas to fill the record (and then some), it's just that, as I look back at it, a lot of the ones we are counting in are things we've struggled to figure out for the last 4-5 years. If they all ccome together, then we'll have more than enough. If they don't... well, then we might be cutting it a bit closer than I would like to. Looks like I'm going to have to step up the songwriting too.
Also of note today: R. sent me the digital Wilco single. The A-side is "I Might," the first single off of their new record, "The Whole Love." The B-side is a cover of Nick Lowe's "I Love My Label." It sounds eerily like the original.
I don't care what label Wilco's on... I love that band.
