Well, i was just almost implicated in a minor felony after the fact, but that’s what i get for not leaving the apartment until past midnite. As a rule of thumb, you should never leave after or get back before midnite. Totally. Anyhow, i’m supposed to be in the studio in under 12 hours (not that i’m expected to perform with any semblance of quality) to work on my project, so i should probably go to bed. And try to remember not to brush my teeth tomorrow unless it’s in the shower or in the kitchen. Oh boy, shaping up to be a great weekend…

lalala. So, i should be practicing my new songs more; I brought my electric guitar to the apartment. I am still undecided on whether i’m going to include any older songs like Bridge or Afterglow on my next disc … i think i’ll just record some old ones for posterity, and if they work, they work. The trouble with tracking an album in advance is that you might not record some of the songs to your liking. But it’s a guideline. That guideline is a progression right now, a progression of emotion from “Never Say Goodbye” to “Goodbye,” which is obviously a progression in itself. But, in “Goodbye” i even say “don’t you ever say goodbye” … so i reversed my purpose; in the first song i tell the subject that i won’t say goodbye, but in the last song i ask them if they ever could. That’s been a concept that’s stayed with me for a few months now – other than that and the fact that “Under My Skin,” will be dead center, i’m not sure how it will turn out.

Ok, so, this is a bit premature (and don’t British people say that word cooler!), but i have a tentative tracklist for the disc i’ll be recording in the spring. Nearly all of the tracks can be previewed via the trio archive, and the few that are missing might be found in AMkitchen’s audio archive. Despite previous statements to the contrary, no older songs will be featured (though “Crashing” and “Under My Skin” are making repeat appearances, as intended.). As soon as i make sure all the lyrics are up on AMkitchen, i’ll post links…

In a tremendous turn of events, i seem to have just recorded a Trio in a single take. Listening to it now to make sure that it doesn’t mysteriously cut out in the middle or anything… … it’s actually muddled in a bit too much treble, so i’m going to take one more shot at it to see if i can do it any better. That doesn’t change the fact that i made it through in one take, though… you can take that away from me!
