the lonely stone complex.
so since the last time i posted, i got fired from jackpot. it's a bunch of bullshit, and that's all i really want to say about it now. gotta move on, gotta try not to dwell on it when i wake up in the middle of the night needing to pee. it's harder than it sounds.
also, i released a digital 7" single. it's "pass it off" (the A side) b/w "truth serum" (the B side). and as is so often the case with my favorite bands, i like the B side more. i actually think "truth serum" is one of the best things i've done in a while. i wrote the lyrics minutes before singing it, and i did it in like two takes. mayhaw is even talking about using it for spookies. that would be rad, but it would take a lot of work seeing as there's no guitar at all in my version!
since i finished that digital 7", i've being thinking about what's next. and actually, i've been thinking about it before the digital 7", because that was almost like a fluke of momentary inspiration. after listening to past albums (especially PDR and real nights), i kind of feel like i've done what i set out to do for now. yeah, i can keep pumping out songs, but i just don't feel like i can top PDR, real nights and the "pass it off" single, at least right now. and even though i have awesome willing collaborators (my pugs, mayhaw and ky), i don't feel like i can do said pugs justice at this point. i just don't want to make sub-par stuff if i can help it.
for the first time in 10 years, i don't feel the insatiable need to make another album. and that alone has taken me a few months for me to admit to myself. i'm still making music, but it's instrumental, and more for licensing purposes (and when it's not for money, it's more weird ambient crap for myself).
as far as a real honest-to-jove album though, i'm not feeling it. i guess not making one or two albums a year is normal for most songwriter/musicians, but not for me. maybe it's just because i'm almost 30 and it's a return of saturn kind of thing. but whatever, i'm sure in a year or so i'll have something going. it just better be awesome!
what's a thought?
