All seems to be going well. I wrote 14 songs during February and only one of them was a let down for me, and even it has potential if I stop trying to make it a pop song. My plans for a country rock band are progressing - but now comes the awkward: is it 'df taylor and the misguided souls' or just 'misguided souls' - too much to worry about right ( Read more... )

What a wonderful pun to get started. I am two weeks into the FAWM challenge. I have 6 out of 14 songs. I have two weeks left. This is going to really break me.

The Dark Sea on FAWM

will you come if i call to see where i am

In fact, it still doesn't really explain what happens but at least I know who Billy was really shouting at ( Read more... )

Inevitably, I changed my mind about the track listing of the album only minutes after getting the source files for Hold Me Close from Keith (good job to him, saved me a lot of reworking a perfectly good recording). I listened to Not Living Anymore, which I love very much, but like I Wear My Heart On My Sleeve, it doesn't fit with the rest of the ( Read more... )

 Sick of LJ - they just upgraded my account and stuck me with advertising. So goodbye, I'm off to WordPress!

 Plans for the solo album are finally progressing. I could pretend that I've been distracted by the near-redundancy experience or technical issues, but I'm just lazy and like to procrastinate. Either way, I'm now nine songs in, only needing to re-record the beautiful Hold Me Close because it needs a better ending.

I've been out taking photos to ( Read more... )
