So, after saying that I was taking all of my song ideas with me when I go up to Wisconsin for the weekend, here is what I discovered today...
1. Everything for the Power Pop record is fairly well contained in its current form. Which is awesome. It also means that I'm likely going to leave it at home, because as I said earlier in the week, what I'm apparently drawn to high† now is the idea of the double album.
2. Speaking of the double album, I spent some of my time in the studio today listening to the ideas that I had previously earmarked for inclusion in that project, and I discovered a couple of things. First, I still like all of the ideas that I had set aside. And second, it has been so long since I have worked on that particular project, that, while I like what I hear, I no longer remember exactly how to reproduce what I have already recorded. In short, what I'm saying is that maybe the double album is something I will have to work my way back into slowly; relearning what I already have between now and, say, winter break, when we're off work because there are no classes in session. Then, during that three weeks, I can dive into that project all the way.
3. That leaves me with the EP, which is where it probably makes the most sense to start anyway. The rough demos are already burned to CD, and already in my car. I've already taken at least a few notes on where I'm at in the process. And, if I could get at least a few lyrical ideas for it, I have a feeling that the project would really take off. So maybe I'll just take a guitar, my rough demos, and a blank notebook with me.
We shall see...
