horn part!

i want to be the explorer's club. they get to play beach boys or zombies or association or love or beatles songs that they can still claim as their own. i want to be a cover band that actually plays my own music, except it's all some explosive fetishized version of a better bands music. really, i mean, i just want to make my own music that's mine, but that would be boring anyway. and this way, when i eventually move on from 60's vocal pop, the music i've made will stand as a monument to my idiocy.

it's just that that's very, very hard to do. you need to be, like, a genius. and i'm not a genius too, brian. i think i'm big. do i want it? i'm gonna have to fight for success. jamie, i'm flatting. jamie, "oooooooo." i'm "uuugggggh." loosen up, sing from my heart.

for now i'll just keep telling myself that i just need a songwriting partner, and that the issue is that alone i'm just not organized enough mentally to get my amazing talents for melody out of my head. i can't hear them in there, either, but if i want it SO BAD, they HAVE to be in there, some where.

when i'm amazed by something visual, i can draw. when i'm amazed by writing, i can write. but god DAMN it's frustrating to be blown away by music and not have the ability to satisfy the feeling. i have to try to get by with 3rd grade chorus instructor piano skills, an un-amped bass and a jingle writer's knowledge of cliched chord structure.

augh i suck.
