Well, I didn't quite make it in the end. I sat down tonight to see if I couldn't finish off the rest of the music for my February EP. I wound up getting all of the music for one of the songs down (with the exception of a third chord in one line).
As for the rest of the record, the general feel of the songs is in place, but the progressions remain unfinished. It's frustrating because I've got a good number of the chords in place that raise the tension of the progressions, but I'm struggling to find the right release point for them that will lead me into the choruses. I just haven't written enough songs in a long, long time. I'm positive that, with this month's effort getting me back to the enjoyment of writing music again, I think that I can continue this momentum into March and finish this thing up at some point this year.
Wound up at Half Price Books tonight with a friend from Waterloo, and ran across the CD Maxi Single (remember those?) for "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Snapped that baby up in a heartbeat. Whether or not it's as rare of a find as I imagine it to be (after all, it's not like it's still wrapped in cellophane or anything) remains to be seen, but either way it's still cool.
Not sure yet what March will bring musically, but it should be an interesting month. Nothing formal planned out, so I'm just going to play it by ear and see what comes of it.
