Week in Review

Quick journal-esque update, for my own sanity’s sake: 

I’ve been strapped for time recently.  Lots of working, and a decent amount of social life time.

• I got drunk on a Wednesday night for the first time in a while, and had a damn good time doing it.  Even if the bar sucked (that particular one always does, every freaking time I go), the people I saw more than made up for it.
• Thursday was a REALLY great Warren practice (I’m feeling great about the new songs!), followed by seeing Does It Offend You, Yeah?  who put on a heck of a good live show.  Morgan grabbed me during “Let’s Make Out” and egged me on to scream the hook, which I was more than happy to do.  Very cool.
• Last night was Cut Copy/Black Kids/Mobius Band at Pure, which is typically a gay bar.  I’m straight, myself, but the sheer amount of dancing there was definitely a nice change from the usual hipster shows.  I had forgotten how much fun dance shows are — stayed til 3 am.
• The Warren mixes are finished.  Some final tweaks are to be made, and then we’ll release this thing faster than you can say… well, something with one syllable, I’m sure.  Yes, I’ve heard them, and yes, they’re a LOT of fun.  I hate rocking my own music (especially when one of these songs is about 4 years old, no joke), but I haven’t been able to stop listening.  The sounds we got out of my synth are absolutely awesome.
• Dana graduated yesterday, so I’m going to visit her in her hometown with my good buddy Mark.  After that I’m sure to be all over the city.
• Finally, I’m stopping this whole “music every single weekday” thing.  Trust me, I’ll be posting tunes I like a LOT, but doing it every single weekday (especially lately, if y’all couldn’t tell) is a bit on the intense side.  I have 11,000+ songs to go through, and not enough time to pick every single song I think others would dig :).

It’s nice to be busy!
