Well, today was the off day in between driving and work. Chatted for a few minutes with J. this morning. His third question was whether or not we got any new tracks for the song we were working on before vacation while I was home. I told him that we were more concerned with finishing up the stuff that remained unfinished (and that we made good progress), but also that I saw no reason why he couldn't have tracks for that song in the next few days.
Spent part of the morning dropping the new music I got while home into iTunes, here's what I ended up with:
1) Three records (Selftitled, Welcome Interstate Managers, Utopia Parkway) by Fountains of Wayne
2) Harlem River Blues by Justin Townes Earle (this completes my collection of his released music).
3) Blood Money by Tom Waits
4) AM & Being There by Wilco (both on vinyl, & I could've had more)
5) All I Ever Wanted by The Airborne Toxic Event
and
6) Back and Forth (New Foo Fighters Documentary)
also purchased was an Exclusive Company t-shirt, solely for making friends in the DSM jealous. Included was a business card, so that if I desire (and I do), I can call Exclusive, order over the phone, and have them ship things to me... this makes me happier than you can possibly imagine, and if I knew the name of the wonderful young lady who suggested the idea, I would gladly include mention of her here.
Watched the Foos doc this afternoon. Really, really cool.
Tonight I've been trying to get some lyric work done on one of the songs we finished the music for while I was home. I'm making a bit of progress, but struggling for the right word to drop into the right place here and there. It's coming together slowly. It's funny. The writing always goes better when I'm playing along, but initially, that only serves to outline song structure. That's what's happening thus far anyway. I can only hope that the words will come quicker once the structural issues are resolved. Either way, I need to write more songs on a more regular basis.
