I didn't feel like working today. Instead, I wanted to stay home and spend the day plotting my record label that I've wanted to start for years now... if I'm not mistaken, I've made mention of this fact in this space before. Using my better judgment (and ignoring my feelings), I went to work anyway. It was by no means a terrible day. I found out that I got my Saturday efore off on the 16th for the Brandi Carlile concert in Cedar Falls, and I worked with good people. As usual, there were some good people who came in, and some not so good. About halfway through my shift, it dawns on me that I keep getting ahead of myself. As of right now, I have no other band's music to release on this hypothetical label of mine other than my own... aside, perhaps, from a random project one of my co-workers keeps talking about doing. Anyway, considering that my stuff is nowhere near done, I ought to get that squared away before worrying about the label. Helps to have something to release before finding someplace to release it, right? So, as exhausted as I am tonight (and as early as I need to be up in the morning), I need to square away some of my own music before I pass out. I don't need to finish anything, but I do need to get a solid handle on where it is I sit at the moment.
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....
