One of the greatest things about hanging out with friends you haven't seen in a long time is the swapping back and forth of all the new music that you've discovered in the time since you saw each other last. Needless to say, I snagged some new tunes while friends were in town. A little bit of Industrial (KMFDM, Lollipop Lust Kill), a smattering of Caroline's Spine, and a couple of records by the Hot Toddies are the big gains. Aside from that, it was mostly individual tracks. It's always nice to be handed a big thing of music, it's like someone's letting you in on a secret that has been hidden away for years and years. Maybe that's the truth, or maybe I'm still foolish enough to believe that music can save the world.
So, apparently the new Airborne EP that came out yesterday is MP3 only! Downloaded that as soon as I figured it out this morning, but didn't have time to sync the ipod after doing so. Therefore, I naturally had a ton of time to listen tonight that was away from my computer. On the plus side, though, I was able to spend some of that extra time with a guitar in my hands, working on the chord progression for this month's song. I've got an opening chord change that I really like, and the flicker of a two guitar approach, with one of the two parts capoed up the neck dancing somewhere in the back of my brain. If all goes according to plan, it could work out really well. Also, finally over halfway in the Grohl bio. Considering I was hardly home at all today, I feel like I got a decent chunk of that read. Tomorrow should (hopefully) be another decent day for music, with a chance to play in the evening, and enough time for a few runs through the Airborne EP....
