Notable things this week:
- By EOD Wednesday I had put in more hours in the office than most people do in a normal work week, so I had had no time to record. I had a great idea (imho) for a rock song, but since I didn’t have the time, I elected to go with a guitar and vocals track that I wrote, recorded, mixed, etc in less than 2 hours. As a result, I find it lacking, but honestly, not more so than the previous 5 songs that I have posted. I feel like there is the beginning of a great song here, but it needs be worked out over a much longer period. Does it sound too bare, poorly written, anything else to you?
- I didn’t think I had used my Telecaster yet, and it has mostly just hung on the wall since I got it last fall, so I used it for this song instead of the acoustic, which seems like a more obvious choice to me.
- I played with Logic’s pitch correcter this week. I think I can hear it getting a bit choppy, but I’m not certain. Can you hear it?
- At least 4 people now have mentioned that I sound like David Byrne, and all I can think of is
Pretty frequently, I get asked if I’m Australian or maybe from the south. No and no. Maybe now, I need to start listening to some Talking Heads so I can do a better imitation?Again, please tell me what you think… the good and the bad
