So, what are my “priority songs?” Splinter and Necessary Evil will probably get recorded once every time i’m in the studio; Atlas Girl was my number one priority but i hit it so well today that i can start dubbing backgrounds on it tomorrow. I’d really like to get a good version of Unstrung recorded (especially because i finally finished writing the last verse), but it’s technically very difficult for me to play. Otherwise, i have a pile of 20 lyrics in my guitar bag, and i just flip through them until i find the one closest to the tuning i’m stuck with. Today Burn got played because i was coming out of A Long Time Since (CADGCD to FADGCD), and i got it on my second try! Typically i hit the majority of my songs very easily if i don’t stress about them too hard, but there are always two that kill me (on the demo: Under My Skin and Other Plans). Sometimes the solution is to play them to death (i played Other Plans eight times back to back and chose the best version), and sometimes you need to reapproach the problem. Tomorrow i’ll be attempting both.

Studio. Ack. Some things were golden and some weren’t. Recorded: Nothing to Say (really angry!), Necessary Evil (so-so, good vocals), Splinter (twice!), Under My Skin (random), Afterglow (crap vocals, might do a dub), A Long Time Since (rewrote the lyrics so they finally made sense), Burn (shockingly wonderful), Unstrung (ugh. don’t ask), All That’s True (cute, trebly), and Atlas Girl (nailed it). Attempted songs included Hold on Me, Touch, Up&Down, very serious efforts at Almost and Typical, and a near-perfect World In My Hand on which my E string fell out of tune during the crucial last chorus. Damnit. Similarly, I almost got through Typical after nearly a half hour of tries and flubbed the ending, while on Almost i still need to decide what the guitar should sound like. I’m recording everything through my amplifier directly into the board, so the guitar has beautiful tone quality but everything sorta sounds the same. Oh well. 5 songs from today are good enough to be publishable, and Under My Skin will make a hilarious outtake becaue it’s totally incoherent. So, 1/5 done, and another studio day tomorrow! Whoo!

I’m in the studio as i speak, but i can’t record anything for another four hours because there is a grouchy gospel choir director in the next room who’s being sortof a prick. Supposedly my recording is “competing” with his rehearsal, but that’s only because he has the band room door propped WAY open so that all of his instruments come through, and so i have to turn up my Amp to have any chance at hearing anything i’m doing. So, you see, if he would close the door, then i could turn the amp down, and we’d all be happy. But, anyway, me and my 40-song list are sitting here wating for 4:30, when the amp will be turned up (and, loudly).

Today was a long day in the studio. (Ha!, does that sound familiar? Sooner or later i’ll just buy the equivalent equipment so going into the studio won’t be such big stress). Tomorrow will be a long day as well; it sucks because i have to skip a major social function to get this done, but i put it off so damned long that this is the price i pay. Not only do i need to keep working on 25/24, i have to record 4 songs that are being used in a production of Girl on Girl that opens in Washington CD this Thursday and comes up to the Philly FringeFest in a month. If i do a quality job on them (3 obscure Melissa Etheridge songs & “oh father” by Madonna) i might get a chance to play live at the FringeFest, which would be a big deal.


So, yeah. I’m in sortof a positive mode about my music because the new songs are being very friendly to each other and i’m not really missing the old songs too much (which is why it was nice to the do the demo when i did). There is a slim possibility i might do a Trio tomorrow, but that’ll be the the last audio you hear out of me before 25/24. Wow, was that a boring post or what? Here’s an insert from PuppetMaster to make it more exciting: “I’m glad that i haven’t succumbed to my deep-seated urge to become a tranny hooker. Yet.“

Some business: A) Huge congrats to Marissa, the newest cool chick to win a Survivor-Based WebGame. Despite accusations that she won by baring the most flesh the most often, i can honestly say that i found Marissa entertaining from my first sighting of her, and i think she was very deserving of the win. Now onto more PuppetMaster, where i’m currently splitting color-commentator duties with the illustrious Bertie, queen of all things sBlog. Being the peanut gallery for PM is fun, because i always have something to blog as long as the contestants are acting up; it has nothing to do with my own motivation. B) I am very gracious for the link from Prosiac, a wonderfully cleanly designed website that found me over at PM. Next, redesign related-links were blogged by sBlog2’s Josi and Matt Pollard (who’s probably linked me more times than any other page i read). Also, please go give Dane’s new log a day or two of your attention. Dane was pinch-blogging for Mollie of Book of Days while she was on vacation, and is also a frequent commenter at Rabi’s and a newly accepted student at Drexel. Finally, to finish up in the gratitude category, Tom from Nothing is the third sponsor of the 25/24 project (the other two being the ladies that the latter two links led to).
