What Does It Mean?

What does it mean if you're drinking Jack straight from the bottle? Depravity? G N' R status? Or was that Night Train? Does it matter? Most of the work on the solo album these days has been me and the acoustic guitar... bangin out chord progs and riffs. I've laid down tracks for 3 songs with just the acoustic and part of me is sorely tempted to just leave it that way. Sure it sounds a bit rough and unrefined, but I'm kinda diggin' that sound... raw, emotional. I hate turning on the radio now and all you hear is this over-produced (and over-compressed!) bubblegum-pop, emo, or pseudo-badass garbage. How did we ever get here? Who thinks this stuff is a good idea? Anyway... massive digression. It's kind of funny how there's all this equipment in the studio and all the different effects, plug-ins, drum-machines, synths with about a million different settings, etc... sky's the limit... and yet there's this urge to just go minimalist. We'll see what happens at the end of the day. I'm pretty excited to see how the songs will transform and change during the process... Some of them already have. Maybe I'll bounce a song or two in their acoustic stage and put them up on the myspace page...

We need a new National Anthem...

And who better to do it than Radiohead!



Yes... So, I'm still stuck in Radiohead-land
so it goes...
