It's been a while

I almost forgot I had this blog. I came across it again when I logged on to leave a comment on travelingkaren.com. (I miss Karen).

Let's see... what's going on. Don't want to get too personal so I'll say what's going on with my musical exploits. I've been recording a lot lately. I still have six more songs to write and record for my "Thank You Captain Obvious" album. It's going to be 19-song album. Yes, 19 songs. I've started using FXPansion's BFD2 for the raw drum sounds. But the majority of the songs I'm using EZDrummer. The biggest challenge I'm facing now is not so much mixing each song to an over-adequate mix, but mainly linking each song together. Listening to song after song I can really hear the disconnect from track 5 to 6, from track 8 to 9, etc. I guess I'll just have to focus a lot of my time and energy on the "cohesive mix" AFTER everything is recorded.

On another side note I'm planning two music videos. One for "Cox Is On My Mind" and another for the newly written punk-esque "The Wonderful Art of Phone Tag". Both songs from "Captain Obvious" album. Both songs really quirky. I really haven't given music use to that Final Cut software I have and I really need to have the thing pay for itself.

It's been a rough January - in terms of personal events. And it's strange... all of a sudden I'm getting all of this inspiration.

Wait... is anyone even reading this?
