well as u can tell i called into work, I'm starting to have the feelings and the voices in my head telling me i need to quit my job so i'm trying very hard to get rid of all of that because i know if i was to leave united auto parts i'd be in a very very bad place and i dont need that. Well i've been taking E alot lately, in fact the last 3 week ends i've been on it, I know this sounds bad and IS bad but i love the feeling i get from it, plus this sounds stupid but its helping me break down this wall that i have built up. Like Friday night when talking to tony, Who i've never really had a "Real" conversation with besides about music and silly shit, And just thinking about sitting with him and having a heart to heart conversation with him or anyone really besides mike seems very hard for me to do with out it but that night i opened myself up and i think that i did show tony that i do have a serious side and i'm not just that goof-ball who steals stuff at che cosa and who knows way too much about music.It was great i'm looking forward to hopefully having another great experience this weekend!.
Music-Ummm i recently just bought a new 4-track{which with i can listen to all my old 4-track tapes with}
a 1956? bells set
a tascam 16 track mixer which was owned by the greatest detroit artist ever KID ROCK!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
and about 5 or 6 casio and yamaha keyboards. So with all this stuff i'm going to finish up my new solo record "The Lie" which is damn near complete. I plan on including 10 songs{i'm up to 8 right now}. Yesterday i found this amazing synth instrumental i made when i owned {only for a short time} my synthizizer, the roland jp-8000
that thing was amazing but now it is in the hands of mr.skinny jimmy!
but i plan on using that synth song as the last song on the record, which is coming along really great. for once one of my solo records has a flow to it that makes sense rather then just random songs put in random order. Finally a album that works as a whole.I hope to have it complete by the end of this week and then i'm sending it off to zach biggs to put on cd for me.This will be the first solo album i will give to people on cd instead of the lovely but doomed cassette format, which is a shame since i still love receiveing cassettes but none of my friends besides brandon, and zach still really listen to tapes so every one i gave "Dust and guitars" to hasnt heard it because lack of cassette player, but no worry because that now is also on cd, which a few lucky people have. I plan on burning more cd copys soon when ever i go to dans house or get to use tony's new laptop since i'm without a computer myself.
But back to "The Lie". this record is very dark sounding, almost like the more darker 80's new wave synth stuff but its not all keyboards there is some guitar as well. This record has the most singing on it as well as me FINALLY being able to express myself in the form of lyrics, which i've never been able to do before "The Lie" which i'm very happy about but thats all i'm going to say about that you'll see when u hear it. I think this one will impress a few folks out there, i hope!
Oh brandon, i got your tape about 2 weeks ago and i must say i enjoy it alot. I feel your newest record like mine finally has a flow thruout that makes sense and i love that and that has inspired me quite a bit while making "The Lie". i wish i could remember song titles so i could tell u which ones are my faves at the moment but here's a few i remember "Gnaw" "B"{which i love} "Spirit/heart/head???" correct me if i'm wrong. Those are my faves on the tape, the b-sides titles i cant remember but the song that u and tabbi did blows my mind, so much insane stuff going on, great listen thru headphones!!!!!. One thing thou, you need to sing more. i love the attiude on "Spirit/Heart/Head" its intense and i love your lyrics. You are one of my fave songwriters you know and your voice is good. I'd love to hear more of it on future tapes.
But again sorry for such a long wait for a response, no computer in all but i have your addy so when "The Lie" is on cd i will send it out your way
with love chris
