Played through "Miami" today. I'm feeling pretty good about that one. It'll definitely make the final cut for the EP.
Dropped J. a line today, in an effort to re-open lines of communication/figure out where he's gotten to. He got back to me tonight. Apparently, the studio is down. He's having mixer issues. Hopefully, he says, it's just a power supply problem, and we will be back up and running soon. This record would be done so much quicker if we were all in the same place. Or if I had ProTools and could do what he does. Makes me think that, with some of my Christmas money this year, I might just get myself ProTools and refurbish one of my old laptops exclusively for music usage. Seems like a solid idea.
Skyped a bit with B. tonight as well. She's working on another song for the band. I updated her on what's going on with J. and presented the notion that we ought to be figuring out tempo on the other songs we have, if only so that we can get started faster when J. is back up and running. Somehow she is without a metronome, so it looks like all of the tempo stuff will fall to me, as I have at least 3 metronomes. Wonder if that means that part will get done three times as fast. Hmmmm.
So, in my infinite wisdom, knowing full-well that I was supposed to be working on the EP & "Classical Gas," I have spent a good portion of the evening thinking about/working on the practice binder. Not what I had wanted to get done, but I suppose progress is progress, regardless of what it's on. That just leaves me a lot to get done tomorrow and Wednesday. I've got the utmost confidence in myself, though, which is good.
