Isn’t it funny how i can resist blogging all day and then start with an hour left? That’s so like me. Anyhow, AMkitchen‘s facelift was all beauty and no content, because honestly all of the breaking songwriting content is on here. If i pass my Studio final i should have tons of new content next semester (crosses fingers). Meanwhile … gosh, i don’t know. Garbage is still on and i know all the words.

AMkitchen is now version 3.0. Don’t ask me how it happened, because i couldn’t tell you. I’m not one to hop layouts like some sort of bunny on crack, but after making the logo on the front page everything just clicked. Even when i came to a pause for an hour or two, i wasn’t stuck; everything just came as i needed it. I wish life worked like that. That would be cool.

I just ate a ton of red meat (still feels dirty), posed for a lot of pictures (none suitable for posting, though my hair is sexy), and wrestled (i won best 2 out of 3) for the past five hours. And at some point in there we inducted new members into our Fraternity. Our new tradition? The lightest member of the previous pledge class wrestles the lightest member of the executive board! I was pitted against our chapter president Lisa. My side piledriver definitely was the highlite!

krisis: My friends hear me play stuff for my webpage and afterwards are like “When did you write that? What do you mean you wrote it a year ago? I’ve never heard you play that before”
Tink: wow… then play more… if they ask, then they like it!
krisis: yeah. I suppose that’s one of the points of the website, is that my friends can have me whenever they want me.
krisis: Err… that came out a little wrong…

Trio is a unique and mostly spontaneous thing, and i’d just like to emphasize that point. This week marks the twelfth concert of three unedited (and mostly unrehearsed) songs i’ve performed for this site, and out of the 36 songs that have appeared so far there have only been 4 repeated songs and 3 covers (two of them in #3). That means i’ve performed 29 original songs. Now, i am both modest and honest, so i can tell you that not every one of those songs is amazing. Sure, there are ones like “crashing” and “never say goodbye” that stand out as great compositions and performances and all that, but then there are those songs like this week’s “fad” and “burn” that are just not quite there. Both of them have their moments, but they both have some other (clunkier) moments where they lose your attention or make evident the fact they they never got “finished.” But, that’s sorta the point of trio; obviously with as much writing as i do not every song gets “finished,” but whether or not the song is set in stone this lets me bounce it to a few willing ears. Last week’s performance of two brand new untested songs drew a ton of positive feedback and really encouraged me to work on both tunes despite previously giving up on them. So… you really are changing my sound by responded to my performances, and whenever my next demo disc is finished you will hear the difference. So, thanx. xoxoxox
