The daily drive was a bit more enjoyable today. I got Grizzly Bear's previous release, Yellow House, in the mail last night and got to listen to it in it's entirety this morning. It's a pretty wild record with a bunch of strange sounds and auxillary instruments and I am looking forward to spending some more time with it over the next few days.
Last night I had the extreme pleasure of getting three cavities drilled and filled, unfortunately it is not possible to get the headphones loud enough to block out the sound of the drill in your mouth. The whole event inspired me to take better care of my dental health in hopes of avoiding this unpleasantness in the future.
The semi-annual gear purge is going well with a couple of the items sold already. I am considering upgrading to a nicer acoustic guitar because I do most all of my songwriting with the acoustic, I also would love to be able to give my backup acoustic to a close friend who finds himself guitarless. Music is for everybody and nothing makes me more excited than seeing others utilize their creative abilities.
I have a new song I am working on that I hope to record a rough demo of this week. Should be interesting as the song has 4-5 different parts which I am considering just doing in sequence with no repeating. Trying to push myself to construct more interesting song arrangements has been a learning experience.
Got all the live recordings from the Root Note show last Friday downloaded off the Iphone but haven't had a chance to listen through them yet. If anything turned out really well I will be sure to post it for your listening pleasure.
