Jedi Band
Did you all see the lightsaber microphone stand? Did you know our singer was a freakin’ Jedi?
Agony
I installed Pokemon Go last night. Then today I had to leave work early because of a migraine headache.
Coincidence?
50/90 – Day 10
Two of the last three nights have been 50/90 progress free. Am I slowing down? Yeah, probably a little. Is it okay? Well, I’ve got 18 songs in the works and there are still 80 days left… so yeah, I think it’s okay.
If there is a hangup, it’s in the demo recording. I don’t want to use any amp sims at all. I want all of the guitar sounds to be my Fender Deluxe Reverb. All or nothing. I’ll probably change my mind on that eventually, but for now I’m sticking to it. That means no recording in the living room while the kids are watching tv. That’s a big deal. We’ll see how far this goes.
Most importantly, I’m still having fun.
Rawk
Our drummer shared a bunch of pics from the 7/1 show last night. I don’t know who took them, but this might be my fav, mostly for the batman-esque angle. If only Mike’s head weren’t cut off. Also, notice that we are all blankly looking over toward stage right… That’s where the big fan was. That fan was the best thing in the universe.
Video
This marks the extent of my video editing skills.
Proof that we played at Racks on July 1st. Actual video where you can see all of us!
I don’t know who took any of these clips, but if I find out I’ll give them credit.
I Don’t Get It
I started watching Jessica Jones on Netflix because… Well, Marvel, eh?
I’m on episode three and I don’t really get it yet. Like… Is it a detective show? Is it a super hero show? Are we talking about Agents of Shield style Inhumans?
Is the show even good? I can’t tell yet.
Old
I was always jumping on those techie trends. Always looking for the invite to the next big thing. But I was young then and now I’m old.
I know I’m old because if I weren’t I’d be playing Pokemon Go at this very moment.
Supercuts Has a Line
I’m literally a month overdue for a haircut. I can handle a little line at Supercuts.
That 50/90 Thing
Remember back in February how I was ranting on and on and on about the RPM Challenge and how I was sketching out music ideas in Garageband without actually recording any instruments and yadda yadda I’m going to have all the songs written but none of the recordings?
So 50/90 started six days ago and it’s the same thing only much, much crazier. In the whole month of February I think I got to 18 songs complete. Now, six days in… less than a week… and I’m at 16 songs. SIXTEEN! I haven’t actually recorded a note, but I have 16 songs in the works. One of them even has lyrics (sort of) and melody (sort of).
I don’t think any of them are any good, of course, but that goes without saying.
Now, having said all that. I went to the 50/90 page and checked to see how other people were doing. Turns out there is one participant who is actually finished. Finished. 50+ songs in less than a week. Now that is just batshit crazy.
