Day One Hundred Sixty Six (Year Three)

So much to talk about today that I'm not sure I'll get to it all, but here goes...

Took the family into Sioux City today and hit up the mall.  At various places (B&N and FYE) I found the following:

1) The new issue of Guitar World
2) Alanis Morissette's VH1 Storytellers DVD
3) Tiger Suit by KT Tunstall
4) Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
5) There's No Leaving Now by The Tallest Man On Earth

The Tallest Man On Earth record was an in-store play before I left B&N that I really loved and just never got around to buying.  The KT Tunstall record I've wanted to pick up for a long time, and when it was $3.99, I figured why not.  As for Time Out, with Brubeck passing late last year, I looked around and realized I didn't own a copy of that record.

Probably the best part of the day, however, was the ride into Sioux City.  My brother and I got to chill and talk music in the back of the van.  It was everything from practice routines to songwriting with some great stories from his college experiences (i.e. a lecture series given by Branford Marsalis) thrown in for good measure.  It was exactly the kind of discussion I need to have more often.

The only bummer part of the day was that we ran out of time for a proposed jam session once we got back into town.  Time just has a way of escaping that way.  Guess more conversing will need to happen over Skype.

DayOne Hundred Sixty Nine (Year Eight)

Today was another good day.  I spent all of it with my brother, which I needed a lot, even though I just saw him over Christmas. Tonight we finally got around to some music discussion.  He took a look at my list of goals for the year, and sees it as a really good set of steps to get me where I'd like to be from where I am.  I picked his brain about a few of the nagging questions I still had as I get started, and he was able to put my mind at ease. Having a chance to sit and chat with him is always good for my musical soul, because he constantly drives me to be a better, more well rounded player, and I'm pretty sure that I can never thank him enough for all of the advice, support, and encouragement he offers every time we chat.

Day Two Hundred Six (Year Four)

Today was the first official day of the second half of my "album-in-a-month" challenge. As for today's goals, I wanted to see what I could get done in regards to track order, and get at least a little bit of a start on the lyric writing process. I spent more time working on the track order question than I did on the lyrics today, but as a result of that, I ended up with something that I think will work in terms of order. I did sit with the notebook for a few minutes at the very end of the day, and got a solid starting line of lyric and some other ideas that I hope will be jumping off points for lyrics. What I'm thinking I might do, however, is switch my focus from the lyric writing part of the process directly to the recording part of the process.  That way, if I can get the music recorded and burned onto a CD, I can take the music with me in the car, and listen and try to see what images and thoughts the music brings up.  It's a tactic that has worked for...

Day Three Hundred Fifty Six (Year Two)

Well, on first listen I was underwhelmed by Motion City Soundtrack's My Dinosaur Life .  And yet, while it wasn't the giant explosion of musical awesomeness that it had been billed as, I did find one diamond in and amongst all of the other rough.  It came in the form of "Stand Too Close," the seventh track on the album.  That , my friends, is a song that I can see generating a lot of plays in my itunes.  Another thing that dawned on me today.  At some point, I'd really like to own a ukelele.  They've had these unbelievably cheap uke packs at work for the last couple of Christmases or so, but the instruments appear to be so poorly made that it wouldn't even be worth it.  That said, I found a cool website online today that gave a few hints on how to simulate a uke on an acoustic guitar.  Apparently, if you put a capo at the 5th fret, and then play ukelele chord shapes on the 4 highest strings, you can get close.  Especially if you've got a ny...
