I made it out for some car music this morning. I recorded vocal parts for five songs and I also drew a crowd.
There were also a lot of actual people around, just walking around the parking lot getting their daily exercise in. Leave me alone, people! Don’t listen to me singing! Don’t listen to me singing, damn it!
I have once again run out of songs to add guitar tracks to. This morning I put both rhythm and lead guitars onto one song, and lead guitars onto three other songs. That’s it. I have three songs ready for vocals. I need to get those done, and then after that I just have to write eight more songs from scratch. I have 35 songs finished, four ready to mix, and three ready for vocals. I am so far ahead of the 50 songs in 90 days challenge minimum pace this year that it is crazy. Just crazy.
Here are guitar pictures. I decided to change guitars today. I think the next time I play I might change up the pedal board a little bit too. We’ll see.
Today is day 365 of this year’s Photo a Day Challenge! I’m finished now, right?
Nope.
2024 is a leap year. One more day to go. Today’s photo will be labeled 365/365. Tomorrow’s will be labeled 366/365. It makes sense to me, but then again… I am a little warped, mentally speaking.
Huh… wordpress.com seems to have changed the way Flickr links embed in the editor and it’s not giving me the space to put a caption. That’s not any fun.
Anyway, I took this while driving home from a partially successful pre-work car music. I put vocals on four songs. I had seven songs ready to go, but I only got to four. At least it means I have some songs that are ready for guitar parts now. I’ll get to ’em. I promise.
I mean, if Robin the Cat wants to make this a regular work day thing then that is perfectly fine with me.
Have a nice nap, cat.
Well, I ran out of guitar tracks this morning. I put leads onto two songs (and boy, are the two songs bad. Baaaad songs, bad) and those are the only two things I had that were ready for any guitar tracks. Time to start writing and recording vocals and adding some new songs to the 50/90 challenge worklist.
I played all right today, but the songs I worked on are just bottom of the barrel crap-o-la. Oh well. That’s how it goes with these song writing challenge things. Lots of bad stuff cranked out in the hopes of accidentally coming up with one or two keepers.
There. One photo for each crappy song.
I fear bad news today and I am stressing out like crazy. Calm down. Focus. It’s going to be okay.
I played a little guitar this morning. It helped a little. I lost track of time though and had to rush to get myself ready for work. Oops.
I have a ton of stuff to get done today at work. I can do it. I can focus. I can handle this stuff.
And right on queue I get pulled into a potentially major issue. Oh good.
No guitar playing today. I’m in the office again and there wasn’t time before work and there likely won’t be time after work. I expect the same tomorrow as I’ll be in the office again. That will be three days this week. Ouch.
Thursday though. Expect good news on Thursday (but don’t bank on it).
I wonder which cat has been eating the leaves off of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Plant Clipping?
I bet it’s this little flirt machine…
Anyone else jealous?
Lots of stuff going on today. It started with car music. I put vocals onto the four songs that were ready and then wrote the lyrics and the melodies to two more as I was recording. One of them suuuuuucks. The other might be okay.
Errands run, chores done, worry over my dad worried. I am hoping to spend some time with Bellana today before she goes back to Vermont tomorrow. I feel like I’ve been missing her visit.
Random picture time. First, my “recording studio” view. Can you believe how terrible the light is? The weather is dreadful right now.
Next, the center of town. Clock included.
And in closing… cats.
