I Sing the Praise of Never-Change
There's actually white ice out there today; my dogs didn't even know what it was! It's been over a year since I last saw ice or snow--since I couldn't visit the North the North visited me!
Had a sappy conversation with UFO and even said hi to Anu for the first time.
Then, I was excited to talk with ST. I've been needing to ask him about recording stuff ever since my mom said she'd get me a new PC. Now that the thing's almost here, I had to jump all over him for info. He was really helpful, and though it's going to be expensive, I'm now on the path to studio quality right in my own home. After the analog broke, I experimented with a PC program that's actually quite good, and I made a couple great recordings, but really I need a better mic and another PC. So, by next week or so I should be getting ready and then we can make our final demo, completely polished, to send to Cooking Vinyl. The great thing about Cooking Vinyl is that it has Billy Bragg on it, but the better thing about it is that I found out one of the Monkees did a solo project there too. Ha ha! After shopping around the Southeast and even the rest of the States, we decided to try overseas because the deals are much better and they tend to perk up a bit when you say you're from Athens, Ga, USA. In America, we're commonplace, but in the UK right now our genre (whatever that is) is actually a bit of a fad.
There's always Japan if that doesn't work out, teehee.
In cool news, a second indie film has showed interest in a few of our songs, this time in California, so we sent a song out to the guy and it might be a go. That'll be three songs in 2 films because recording hang ups wouldn't allow us to record any more. :(
Also, an old performance with ST, me and EA is going on a regional sports TV show this season.

We've been watching an incredible amount of Beatles stuff here lately. I still haven't caught the bug so to speak, I'm still not a fan at all, but perhaps the propaganda will sink in eventually. :)

Sali, I'll get you a copy of the British film on DVD so y'all can watch before it hits festivals! Strangely, our 2 songs play during the most depressing scenes, when a girl gets hit by a car and then during a suicide scene... :( Guess I write disturbing music!
Cinders, me, a townie? Nah. What's sad is that so many of my friends from NY are still in NY. To me, THAT's sad! I mean NY, especially Upstate, is cool, but if you never leave it's weird. Kinda like if you stayed in FL forever....
GA is still exotic to me! I can always count on an odd remark whenever I talk to my high school friends when I tell them I'm still in GA. Basically, it's like I've told them I've become a traitor to the Union! ha ha!
