My weekend starts again tomorrow. It was a long week. 14-16 hour shifts. It's worth it to have a three day weekend. Another party tomorrow. More recording on Saturday and/or Sunday.

I'm listening to the new PJ Harvey. It's pretty damn solid. So many short songs though. They really get you going then...gone. I'll have to listen to this in the car to get the...

More recording tonight. I saw my moms first, of course. The vocals were something else tonight. Everyone has ideas and we try them all. This is such a process for a demo, but it'll be way worth it. All's it's costing us is some beer and grub. It's a good thing to be part of an artist/musician community. Everyone helps eachother out; except for EchoFarm,...

We're getting closer and closer to finishing the demo. We went crazy with the guitars for a tune called "Threw It Away". Different pedals, different amps, different rooms. Shit sounds good though. The vocals will be finished this weekend and then we'll play around with things a bit. Mellotron will work it's way into the equation somehow.

I hear demos from people who drop shitloads...

I'll have the three day weekend though.

more recording tomorrow. hopefully we'll finish the five songs we've wanted to get done. I need to do guitar overdubs for good phasing.

I scored Pixies tickets Saturday!! Isn't that fuckin' great?!! I've seen the Breeders three times and Black Francis once. Now I get to see the "real deal" in all their glory. Ok, I'm pouring it on thick, but I love this band. Can't wait to hear "Debaser" live.

Beyond that, I've been recording a lot these past few weeks. Drums, bass, some guitar...done, for the...

I'm on fuckin' fire!! The music I'm making and what I'm involved with is something to live for. I've had a lot of inspiration as of late. Coincides with the whole Spring thing.

the new Wilco
SY live in Montreaux 2000
Radiohead Amnesiac b-sides
Neko Case - Blacklisted

that's the happenin shit I've been diggin' on recently.

I broke the levee last night. A lot of lyrical ideas came to me on my ride home from my night out. I immediately came up with four different pieces. Feels good to beat the writers block.

Tonight, I'm gonna clean, cook, drink, and chill. No work tomorrow. Beautiful.

Listening to the new Wilco right now. Don't know if this is the final mastered copy/mix. I'm quite diggin' it though. I can never wait for official releases. I buy a lot of music though.

Work was a drag, as usual, this past week. I have a four day weekend starting tomorrow. I intend on getting a lot of shit done.

I just realized the...

I'm having a great weekend so far. Good people, good food, good drink.

I'm gonna record a bunch of stuff with the group in a couple of weeks. Some friends of mine have a ProTools set-up at their place. Can't wait.

I needed a weekend like this. Despite everything that has happened to me recently, I love my life and life in general.

I have the new computer now. It was a real pain in the ass using other peoples'. I hate feelin' like a mooch.

I went out for the first time in quite a while this past weekend to see what I could get in to. Saw a few people I haven't talked to in ages, so that was cool. Indulged in a little salvia for...
