Let's see, what are the highlights from today... I picked up the latest issue of Guitar World. Red Hot Chilli Peppers on the cover. They've got a new record coming out on the 30th of August. Same day as the new Butch Walker record.
Texted a bit with B. while waiting to give JP a ride home tonight. Was trying to keep my mind distracted with lyrics, and off of the whole situation with my uncle. Apparently, we've got a long ways to go with the words for the LP. Guess we'll both have to get writing. Still, it got me listening to the lyrics from the old demos, and I think we're doing pretty well. What I'd really like to do now is get all of the words in one place, be it a notebook or a computer file. Just so I/we have everything we're working with at our disposal.
We've got two songs with similar titles right now, and B. thinks we ought to change one of the titles... she's right, I think. Only problem is that the one she wants to change is the one I like better. And right now, that song is slotted in as a potential opener on the record. Oh well. Other things to worry about, I suppose. Like getting J. some tracks to work with. After all of the other assorted craziness this week, that just hasn't gotten done yet.
Also, I was listening to the demos through the iPod tonight while waiting, and in so doing I had it on shuffle. That really helped me clarify that one of the progressions we've been working with that isn't yet a finished song fits in well with the rest of the record. So that's awesome.
Have to try and get in touch with B. tomorrow, and maybe get up early enough to try and lay down some tracks for J. I go in late, so assuming I can get up with the alarm, I should have enough time.
