Day Two Hundred Sixty Five (Year Four)

I didn't have that much on my list for tonight, only three things, in fact.

1) I wanted to finish getting the Guitar World Acoustic issues squared away and organized.

I did that, in the process finding that I was only missing one issue from the middle of the run when I was buying them.  Unfortunately for me, it was one of the issues on acoustic Led Zeppelin!  Knowing me, I'll go on some quest to find not only a list of all the issues they ever released, but also (hopefully) a copy of each one.

On a related note, finishing that off tonight involved paging through the magazines a bit more, and there were so many artists they hyped that I know really well now (that I glossed over at the time).  Can't wait to go through all of the old record reviews next.

2) I wanted to get the new music from last weekend imported.

I got that done, too, importing the new Manchester Orchestra and the Cloud Nothings record I picked up at Exclusive.  I have yet to import the new Nickel Creek and the latest Cloud Nothings disc (and also the new Dan Wilson solo effort that I'm still waiting to have delivered).  I figure by the end of the week, everything will be here, and will be in the iTunes.

I got most everything from the trip up north put away again, as well, and played a bit of electric in the process.

3) The one part of the list that I didn't get to was anything extensive in regards to the acoustic side of my playing.  That will need to start up tomorrow, for sure, because with all the new/old lessons and transcriptions in the studio now, I'm definitely itching to get started on all of it.

Day Three Hundred Forty (Year Six)

It's done.  Well, okay, so it's 99.5% done, but that's close enough for me. The stereo and the turntable got set up this morning, as I figured they would, and the two bags of randomness (picks, my slide, tuners, etc) and the few small piles of notebooks got dealt with tonight.  I even managed to get the iMac set up, if not fired up. And yet, the studio remains only slightly unfinished.  Somewhere in either the house or the garage, there must be a box or a bag that has a couple of studio-related items tucked into it, because there are at least two things I can't find.  As fate would have it, they're important things, too.  And something tells me that they're all in one place.  I'm missing: 1.  My looping pedal 2.  The power cable for my Marshall 3.  The foot switch for the Marshall They're all things that would have been in the same general area in the old studio, but given how much of the house we've gotten set up already, it really surpris

Day Two Hundred Forty One (Year Eight)

Holy shit.  I knew it had been a good number of days since I'd posted, but I didn't think for a second that it had been NINE of them... the last week and a half has been a blur, so let me see if I can catch myself up: 1.  It was spring break week last week, so in theory I should have been able to get a lot of good work in, but there was family here all week long, and staying with us.  It was great to see them all, but it didn't leave an awful lot of time for hiding away in the studio. 2.  My Dad and my Brother were here at the end of that time, though, and we got a chance to talk through a bit of the plan for the hootenanny that Dad wants to throw this summer, so that was good. 3.  New Decemberists record came in the mail today.  I'm listening now, but am hoping to spend a lot more time with it over the weekend. I've felt disconnected and off for great parts of the last week, even with people here.  It's no wonder, considering I haven't posted here.
