It looks as though my life is in the shitter right now, but there's always a good and bad side. Bad side being I'm still broke, currently single, and slowly going insane (not really). The good side my music inspiration is on overdrive and in the month of June I wrote I think 5 songs and 4 of them are actually decent.

The newest one is called "She's Got A Motive" and its my first intentionally electric song. Very different sounding than my regular acoustic, cute, campfire, sing along stuff. I think people could sing along but more of a on the radio type thing than a call and response thing. So it's plugged in, gritty, loud, and I love it. Its stuck in my head all the time but I'm biased. No one has heard it yet and it was written four days ago. Which is a shocker, usually I write songs and play them for people.

I'm still playing with the ending. I need some pros to help me noodle in a snazzy guitar solo between the 2nd chorus and the bridge and during the outro. I think the only thing this song does not have is a pre-chorus but I don't think it needs one.

I've been telling people for more than a month that "I'll be going into the studio to record in a couple weeks" well the truth is i have the guy's number but I don't know what I want to get recorded. I dont want all my songs recorded cause thats like 30 freakin songs so far. I just want to give people a taste of my music not a whole entree. I'm thinking maybe I'll pick 4 or 5 really old songs that I wrote with Jen and that way I can record them and forget about them. If people like it I'll pick maybe 6-10 more songs and put out another album and then eventually put some of my brand new ones on a CD along with the current ones (if I'm hopefully still writing. *crosses fingers*).

So, I think my music is taking a turn in a new direction and I couldn't be more excited.


EDIT: I have two tickets to go see The Fray with Jack's Mannequin at The Shoreline on August 1st. The other ticket is still up for grabs. Possible make or break situation for those who want it: Having a car is a major plus being as I don't have one and getting to the show would be rather difficult.

June 29th: Double feature @ my house
July 4th: Hanging in the forest with Rayce and Ari in South SF, Party at Middlefield
July 10th-11th: Reggae Party at Tabrizi's
