Lots to discuss tonight... or maybe it just feels like it. Closed at work tonight, and open in the morning... which means I got to take home in-store plays and make copies of what I liked! There are some perks of working where I do, and these nights have got to be up near the top. The turnaround may not be fun, but the tunes make it more palatable. Here's the haul for tonight:
Human Again - Ingrid Michaelson
For The Good Times - The Little Willies
Selftitled - The Barr Brothers
Casa De Amor - Armik
Best Of The Best - Frank Sinatra
Be The Void - Dr. Dog*
The reason behind the * is simple: the new Dr. Dog record doesn't release until the 7th of this month, but we got our in-store plays early, and have been playing it in the store as a way to build excitement for the release, so...
The other thing I want to discuss/debate/decide on tonight is this: I was on NPR.com today, and ran across a link to one of their blog posts. Here's what I spotted: http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/02/01/146107772/lets-make-music-together
Also, I know full-well that his post links to the RPM site, but here, in case you want it, is the link for that as well: http://rpmchallenge.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=844&Itemid=290
I had completely forgotten it was February.
I'd have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure that I discovered this in the middle of February last year, and made a minimal attempt to try and do something. I know, without a doubt that I failed miserably. However, 2012 is a new year and a new chance, and this time I know about it at the beginning of the month. It's 10 songs or 35 minutes of music, with everything needing to be new.
I'm thinking I'll take the first few days and see what, if anything, I can get started on, and then decide from there whether or not I'm crazy enough to give this a legitimate shot. I know that, at some point in my life, I will make a record in the month of February, I'm just not sure yet whether it will happen this year.
Oddly enough, my first thought on reading those posts was "how would I handle the drums?"
