| December 01, 2008 | first album |
so, i have put off remixing and recording a collection of my original songs to put on an 'album'. well, the wait will soon be over - in fact, it will be online next tuesday december 9th. i have decided to abandon overproducing this collection, instead going for my bread & butter - a stripped down, acoustic set - of eight* songs that seem to fit together. all of the songs were written in 2007-2008 and four have never been released before. i plan to continue writing and record a more ambitiously produced record in the future. *the final number could vary between seven and ten |

| November 22, 2008 | the "tiger", weekend plans |
after working a ton lately, i am done for the week and plan on taking it super easy this weekend - including monday which i have taken off. i hope to get some recording done as well. saw the vancouver band "pride tiger" at louis' tonight. i had previously seen them at amigos last year. they kicked ass - very tight band, energy, riff based, led zeppelin esque, with the key difference that the lead singer is the drummer - very cool they only played for an hour, but for $10, that was well worth it i bought myself a t-shirt for $10 after and talked to the lead singer for a minute and had him sign it. cool show |

so, i have pondered that music often sounds very good in my car. therefore, it would be worthwhile to try recording myself with an acoustic inside of it - with modern technology, i could easily fit my laptop, mixer and microphone. the only external power i would need would be for my one phantom power unit, which i could buy a lighter adapter for...with winter coming this might have to wait until spring or a very mild day >------< morality aside, i was wondering whether betrayal or rejection is worse to face |
