Day Fifty Nine (Year Two)

Got up late again today, but still found a way to play for a bit before heading out the door to work. 

Dropped B. a line too, just to touch base.  Try and knock down the door that has been closed a bit while we've both been so blasted busy.

So glad to be done with my 7 day stretch!  Even though it's only a single day, I feel like it's going to be a long and glorious day of music making.

Also on the list for tomorrow:

1) Recording.  Couple of ideas that still need to be laid down.
2) Actually listen to the Son Volt stuff that I picked up the other day.

Wanted to buy like, 4 CDs today (new Tori, Superheavy, The new Jayhawks, and one other one that escapes me at the moment), but didn't because I hadn't even listened to the stuff I picked up earlier in the week.

Tonight was a good one, let's just hope it carries over into the rest of the week.

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.
