A tough week, but let’s be positive.
November 7th 2009
So it’s been a while since I posted last and I’m not really sure why… Actually, I think just because my life has, all of a sudden gotten really hectic. Anyways… It’s been a tough week, figuring stuff out and being lumbered with sorting out owning a record company, which is essentially like any other business. It’s hard working full time, writing, recording and rehearsing your own music and recording other artists to put out on our label. And still finding time to have a life. However, the old cliche rings true, nothing worth having is ever easy. Everything takes dedication and plain old hard work. But music is a large part of who I am and the alternative – giving it up – is not even an option. Beginning work on Frankylou’s ep was rewarding and having had the first rehearsal in a while this week, was also a treat – being in a band with people you love is the way to go. I’m not really sure what the message here is… Maybe there isn’t really one. But I do know that i’m susceptible to panic an these freak outs can get in the way of the real reason I do all this stuff: simply because I love it.
I know this isn’t well written, but I’ve no time for self-editing. Maybe there’s a metaphor in there somewhere…
Speed: it’s all too fast.

This is less a blog post, than a short rant. I’m becoming increasingly frustrated by our inability to play our songs at the right tempo. We’re getting better in terms of our general appreciation of each songs dynamics… but the speeds? Ah man, it’s just not happening. The songs I write tend to be sparse, delicate and fairly intricate arrangements that need space to breathe and focus on vocal melodies – that, to be frank, I spend a long time honing. (more…)
