Ani’s new songs are good, but not really satisfying the way that new songs have been in the past. There’s always a definite difference between songs debuted before a summer tour and after a summer tour (“Wish I May” vs “Swing” or “FreakShow”), since the past few years she’s been recording in that break. This year she didn’t appear to record in that time; was she writing all that time? Unreleased lyrics are here; ani seldom performs material that doesn’t appear on a subsequent album – either everything she writes is golden or she is very considerate of what she puts on display at her shows.

Hmph… blogger does not seem to be compensating for the time-change… i suppose it won’t be in effect in California until it’s 2am there, which is another nearly three hours. Or something. I’m much too tired to figure out all this time-change b.s. Last year i was at a party during the time change, so i didn’t have to worry about it. And then i wrote “Crashing.” Yes, we’re definitely coming up on the big “Crashing” retrospective next week; interestingly, i didn’t even make note of the two-year anniversary of “touch.” That’s rather sad, since it was my banner song for quite a long time. I’ll try to get a new interview with me done soon so you can hear about all sorts of new songwriting psychology. If you have any questions, please interview me by your own whim. It’d be fun.

Well, that was quite the interesting night out… no elaborations as of right now, but rest assured that i didn’t intend to be back quite so soon. Basically, one of my companions who never feels the effects of what he is drinking suddenly got past that boundary tonight. So, you can imagine i’m a bit concerned. I mean, i’m sure he’ll wind up fine, but tonight will not go down in history of one of his favourites. And, for the record, all i drank was water.

Reading old blogs from back when i was intelligent; imagine what this day will seem like a year from now… thoughts like that scare me. Looking back a year ago today i see a person that is entirely familiar but wholly different than who i am now. I hadn’t even written “crashing” for another handful of days. And, since my songs are an accurate sketch of my life, you can easily head over to the AMkitchen part of my site to witness all of the emotions i found over the course of the last year. I can’t even begin to imagine where the next year will take me … hopefully somewhere good.
