new years
hope everyone had a good one. I saw gin blossoms down at station square. sweet, a washed up band from the 90s is all pittsburgh could get! ah well what can you do. punchline played too.... their new stuff is meh but its cool they are nearly career musicians now without even being on bigger than an indie label.
my new years resolution is just to be more positive in general (forget the last paragraph, i'm allowed to be judgemental about music!). i've kind of been in a slump in that whole regard lately... my positivity peaked in early 2006. discovering andrew wk, and other things. it was going pretty well for a while, nearly a year. then i just had some lame experiences that i guess i really haven't recovered from.
drawing from the difficult things in my life is what influences me to write music, but i need to learn to separate those feelings from everything else and focus it on the art. try not to let it manifest in my attitudes.
i wouldnt say i'm being a negative nancy lately, but i'm not nearly as crazy or positive as i once was.
by the way, finale note about my musical prospects... i bought some recording equipment, and we've been recording songs lately. if anyone is interested in checking out the myspace i've been posting on, and i havent given you the url yet, just ask. i'm going to try to get more things up in the next few days. we are still desperately looking for members. so if anyone knows any guitarists or drummers into indie rock type music, PLEASE let me know.
