Rocking the rest of the new Black Keys record as I type this. This band just keeps getting better and better with each record.
Picked up the new Guitar World tonight. Cool little article with Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline on the new Wilco record. Wasn't quite long enough for me, but then again, I could read about that band for days on end.
Sat with the acoustic for a few minutes tonight. I'm really wanting/needing to start writing songs again. I don't care whether it's for the band or for some solo project that I don't quite know I'm working on yet, I just need to start again. I'm finding cool sounds on the instrument, and that inspires me to write songs.
At the same time, I'm feeling the need to crank up the electric too. I suppose that I'm just wanting to play more than I have. I know I talked about putting together the binder being a more academic process thus far than a musical one. I'm starting to feel like at least a few of the basic pieces are in place, though, and I'm getting eager to test some of those things out, to see where they fit in the grand scheme of what the binder is going to end up looking like when it's finished.
Also on that front, I know that there hasn't been as much concentrated work on said binder for the last few days, but in spite of that, I don't feel like I've lost any momentum on the month. I've also been puzzling over a way to incorporate the song binder that I have into the lesson binder in some way, shape, or form. They are both (or, rather, one is and the other will be soon) quite substantial, however, and so some part of me is struggling with finding a way to combine the two. Maybe if I were to put a single set of acoustic stuff into it, and a few electric songs that are on my "must learn" list...
That could well work. Something to think about at least.
