band practice recap time!
bumlabumbum
wow, i'm totally into the denali first album first off. i got 2 songs from their website, and i'm like "drool" yo. i also found out maura davis is in another band...hmm, checking that out yo. hee hee, maura. wow, and i just went to the band website bella lea last night and was all hanging out there. and now i go there tonight and they've changed their name...bum bum labumbum.
anyways, i had "band practice" today with the chrismeister. i always like to ask myself: did it go well? and generally i hesitate, and then say kinda. but today was very good because chris' song just needs arranging. as in how many times do we play each part? which is the easiest! so i'm happy. buya. as for my song, i made a second part for the chorus and gave it roughly to chris. so it should clean up by next week. and i need a bridge or ending..so i've gotta little to go on that, but the way i'm working it'll be ready to record by tuesday. buya +2!! and just yesterday, i ran home last night and worked on an oldy. kinda. it was "finished" but never heard by the folken. and i hated the way it was...so i took it back and made it MINE damnit. i showed my rough one night worked on sketch, and he got a wide eyed and was like "that's f-ing awsome, i don't even know what to do with that." so once i'm done with song #1, i'm immediately wrapping that biatch up
i'm getting scared though..it seems like chris can't really write to my songs. he likes them, but it's harder for him to work that way. i guess it's okay..but i want him to be all bambambam with mine like we are with his. i like where we're going though. he'll say it's a different direction, but honestly we were going here anyways...being THE songwriters, it's kinda hard to say well without them we write differently. we're spending more time on writing and not "practicing" old stuff. which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, coz we don't waste time bs-ing 2 hours of practice and 1 hour of breaking to get to work for...shit...practice is over.
i just wish that there were others around me that thought the same way. like "hey, i wanna make music. why aren't we making music, or talking about music. wtf man, stop walking away and tell me whether you like this g-d part or not!" or somethign like that.
chris wants like 10 songs by january, which is cool, but i don't think it will happen, i'd be happy to get 5. that would be awsome. i also want to do an acoustic cover show at some coffee shop. i think that'd be fun, just f-ing around not caring about making it or whatever. i mean neither of us can really sing. i haven't really heard him try, but i'm terrible..lol. but i wanna sing damnit. or at least make fun of it while doing it and just giving some friends a good night out and watch us cover some great tunes. show the world that we're beyond bullshit. and we're coming back in stride. so i guess watch for that sometime. maybe we'll start working on that when we get those songs put together.
rawr!
