My wife was away for the day and my daughter had school so I allowed myself to bang on the drums like it was the boss' head 'cause you know that I don't want to work yadda yadda.
Actually I do want to work and I did quite a bit, but I managed to add some more drum tracks to both the "Tree" track and the new "Where She Placed It" (or whatever I'm calling it) track. I played along with the chopped up drum loop bits I had copy/pasted together in Ardour a couple days ago. That's a good sound and it gives a better feel to the songs.
So now I need to start to play those over and over for myself to find a good melody or lyric hook to justify their existence. Until I do that, it's all just noodles. But I think it won't be too hard.
On my mind though is this: am I just hurrying to get songs written so I have a bunch that I can call an album by the end or am I allowing myself the time to polish them up and practice them and maybe re-record them after they are written more fully? I guess I'll get a better sense sometime next week. Either I'll have some good ideas I can polish or I'm still pasting random ideas together.
No clips today. I'll post a clip when I have something more interesting.
P.S. What am I going to do on Thanksgiving?
