Day One Hundred Seventy Three (Year Seven)

Today was a good day for listening and discussion and (potentially) album covers.

I brought the deluxe edition of Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams with me for the car ride into work. That was a good bit of listening right there, and it started my day on a positive note.

As for the rest of the day, there was a lot of talk about music today at work, and I was able to discuss a bit more with that co-worker that wants to learn to play, which was great.

I worked up an album cover idea today, too for either the album or one of the EPs.

Today was a weird day, but it worked out, and I'm really looking forward to having a productive weekend.

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.
