I get this feeling before i write a song… like i have all sorts of static electricity charged up and it’s be released as soon as my pen hits the paper. Words and phrases buzz in my head until finally the tip touches down and the flow begins. All charged up.

I wish someone was taking video of my first kiss. It’s like i lose a little of the image quality every time i play it back in my memory, until finally i’m just imagining it. Instead of seeing her face draw close i just imagine us in a pose like any barbie and ken doll can achieve, substituting my idealized picture for what actually happened. Maybe it was awkward instead of artful, but that momentary pause that came with the awkwardness meant everything, and without it i don’t have anything left but the trace left from the words she whispered in my ear. They’re still ringing.

A very bad Trio was just uploaded. Don’t listen to it. Really. Just listen to last week’s trio again. It’s so bad… but then i broke a string on my electric and couldn’t record another one. Please dear god, don’t subject yourself to me attempting to play an electric guitar while Matt uses our broken sink to get water all over the floor of the bathroom.

Recorded an entirely kick-ass version of “Relief” down in the studio with sweetly mic-ed vocals and guitar in stereo. Oh yeah! However, i haven’t yet been told how to get from ADAT to compact disc or digital audio, so this amazing song will stay tucked away on my tape until i am told how to do things correctly. However, i got this down on my first take, which bodes well for the future of my next demo disc. Oh yeah!

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…
