This whole slow conversation with J. thing needs to pick up the pace a bit. I got a one line response, indicating that he agrees with my thoughts about doing an EP instead of a full record. "I agree," he wrote, "at least get through three, and go from there." He's thinking 3, and I'm thinking 7. I promise you this: it will end up 7. I'm tired of letting other people run the show on this one.
Tonight was the last of 6 days straight at work, and man, oh man, was it slow! Slow enough that I got to spend a bit of time talking with a co-worker about music. He recommended someone to me that I checked out (and was intrigued by), but as I sit here now, I can't for the life of me remember the artist's name. After that we got to talking about recording (something I had no clue he was into), which led to a discussion of what I'm working on currently (and the projects I'd like to be working on). He told me that he's got GarageBand, and that he's helped out friends with recording in the past. I told him we really ought to sit down and see if we can do anything with the stuff I'm working on. He agreed! This, if nothing else, gives the band a fresh set of ears, and might get us a producer of sorts that is closer to at least someone in this band. He also mentioned that he's spent time managing friend's bands in the past and has a few connections. So we'll see if anything comes of that.
Heading up for a day and a little bit with SL tomorrow morning. I really need the break. She's as surprised as I am that we've been together almost 5 months and she hasn't heard any of the music I've been working on. Therefore, I'm bringing the demos. And a guitar. If we get to it, cool. If we don't, that's okay too.
