I’ve been distracted all week.
\nWhen I’m at work, all I can think about is getting home so that I can work on my songs. When I’m in class, I feel impatient because the four hours twice a week I’m spending learning a language I may not even use at work could be spent in my “studio”.
\nI nearly blew off some social events this weekend just to maximize the time I felt was lacking in the week. (I didn’t blow off those events. In fact, I rather enjoyed them.)
\nWell and all, I’ve been one busy motherfucker. Tonight, I “released” three new demos and re-recorded all of my recent MP3s to include a two-second gap at the end of the songs — the better to simulate a CD with, my dear.
\nAnd I’ve even got something of a loose sequence down for this “album”:<\/p>\n
Usually, musicians write twice the number of songs that would eventually appear on an album, but I’m being reckless and writing only the number of songs that I would like on it. I’m aiming for 10 or 11. That means I have to edit along the way.
\nThis momentum has also made me reckless financially. On Friday, I dropped about $140 on a microphone, stand and cord. Tomorrow, a sound card I bought for $160 should be arriving by UPS.
\nI tried recording my own vocals with Cakewalk, and I have to say — I need to audition some singers. I sound bad<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
