Three music related things happened today. Seems like not much happened, given the previous 48 hours, but here it is anyway.
1) Skyped with B. tonight. Updated her on everything that happened in my conversations with J. the last few nights. She's really excited. I can tell. It makes me smile. Apparently, she tried to do a bit of recording today, and wound up with a bunch of background noise. She needs to go out and buy a microphone tomorrow, she tells me, "otherwise it sounds like shit." She also said that she feels the project has been "waiting on her" to get something recorded so we can move forward. While I have been curious if things will work from her end of things, I assume they will, so I'm not terribly worried about the when of that part. In fairness, I feel like I've been holding us back by not having enough familiarity with Music Maker.
This was the first time I've really heard her talk about "after we finish the album..." type stuff. Also, both of us think it's incredibly cool that we can now officially use the phrase "according to my producer." And the fact that J. lives on the East Coast gives us instant credibility, at least to ourselves.
2) I caved and picked up "Ukelele Songs," the new record by Eddie Vedder. I had been hoping that the one I ordered, "Lucky Tonight," by Romi Mayes, would show up, but no such luck yet. That said, I felt like I needed new music for my Sunday off, and Eddie's record won out.
3) Also broke down and bought Keith Richards' biography, Life, as well. It's finally out in paperback, and with extra discount days at work, I thought it would make a fun read on my day off. I paged through it for a bit tonight after I got home, read the blurbs in the front of the book, and it seems like it's going to be awesome! Plus, from everything I've heard, the book provides some insight into his guitar style, which will be cool.
That's all for today. Hopefully a lot to write about tomorrow.
