I can't even describe to you how much I love this song.
("Lady Starlight" by the Sweet/Andy Scott)
I think I'm going to cover this song. I don't know if I mentioned this or not but I'm going to start recording more covers. The only one I have online right now is the "Dirty Love"/Motorhead one on the myspace page I made to host this shit. But I'm going to do more. I love recording covers. Also gonna do "I'm Only Sleeping" by the Beatles, "Mystic Lady" by T Rex... possibly Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" too? "Strutter" by Kiss? Probably a couple of Black Keys songs. I dunno. Tons of different shit. Just for kicks, just for myself.
Dave and I are also starting another band. Well, it's more or less mostly my project, but Dave is playing drums for me. It's just going to be me on guitar, probably no bass, really hollow, raw sounding stuff, fast and punky and snotty... and I'm thinking of asking Kevin M. from Sailboats if he'll record vocals tracks. He would be perfect for what I want to do - I love his frantic, yelping style and his nonsense-but-kind-of-deep-in-an-abstract-way lyrics.
Oh yeah, I also don't think I mentioned this here yet but Coyote Hotel is pretty much drummer-less right now. Matt flaked out. I'm really bummed. I still really want to find a new drummer and continue on with the band, and it sucks because we were offered two shows this past week that would have been for the end of January (with my friend Jay's band Darlings of Chelsea), and the end of February (with The Standstills from London, Ontario), but I don't think we can do either. Arghhhh. The whole situation really sucks but I intuitively sort of saw it coming a mile away... it's really just putting me off on doing Coyote Hotel stuff right now.
Yeah, so that's that I guess. I'm just going to focus on recording my own stuff for now, especially since I have this renewed musical creativity at the moment and major inspiration and I want to keep it burning. Plus I also want to concentrate on playing guitar right now, for some reason. It comes in waves. I wish I had ten arms so I could play everything all at once. Some weeks I'm really into playing piano, then I'll get super into expanding my singing repetoire, then I'll feel like playing bass, two months later all I want to do is play guitar all day... I'm very musically schizophrenic. Same thing when it comes to the type of music I feel like focusing on doing.
I wish I had some pain-killing drugs right now... I'm in the throes of Operation Ripping Headache. It even hurts to touch or move my hair at all.
