Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. Go and give your favorite Black Sabbath records a spin. I’ve already gone through Paranoid and Master of Reality. It occurred to me that the first time I ever heard Children of the Grave was while watching the live broadcast of Live Aid. The anniversary of that was just the other day. Small world.
I was going to post a clip of that song, but Sweet Leaf is just better.
This photo makes me so happy, musically speaking:
This is the first thing I saw when I got home from work. I hadn’t even made it into the house yet.
Big meeting in one of our auditoriums.
I don’t want to go to work tomorrow.
Superman on IMAX on opening weekend?
Sure, let’s do it!
Four rolls of film. One of them is medium format. Nerd boy is giddy with glee.
Today is July 4th. While that means something to the nation formerly known as the US it now just means that it is the first day of the 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge. Welcome!
I would link to the 50/90 website but apparently it no longer exists. I guess 50/90 as an organized thing is over? Sure looks that way. I’ll still try it on my own though. There are 90 days between July 4th and October 1st. During that stretch of time I plan to write 50 songs… because I am an insane.
It’s after 11:00pm now. We just came home from watching fireworks up in Derry, NH. Do I have a 50/90 recap? Why yes, yes I do.
There are two songs in the pipeline. One has the full song form and the MIDI bass and drums done. The other is just three loose fitting eight-bar phrases.
That’s it. Two songs under way. Come back again tomorrow and see if I made any additional progress. One day down, 89 to go!
