SaW #2 Diary

4/14 - Monday: Just trying to figure out what's next. I've got 6 or 7 songs that have been rattling around my head, I'm just not sure which one to make this weeks song. I'm leaning towards a little hip hop number I never got around to recording called "Belly Dancer". I think it'll be a fun change of pace from the normal folksy sound my songs tend to have. I also think calling it a "hip hop number" really shows how truly uncool I am.

4/15 - Tuesday: Took the plunge and bought the full version of Sequel, I don't expect to see if for awhile, I took the free shipping. I think that means the box will hitchhike through the mountains and arrive much like teenage runaways. Older, wiser, and perhaps dead inside.

4/17 - Thursday: Played around a bit trying to find a good rhythm for this weeks song. I'm still not fully convinced I'll be doing Belly Dancer. I'm going to try and record it tomorrow, if I'm not happy with what's coming out, I'll call an audible and do one of the simpler songs.

4/18 - Friday: Sequel arrived today, much faster than I would have thought. The box of software came in a box that could have fit a cadaver. I'm no genius, but that may be the definition of dead space. Unless my presence is needed in partying circles, I'll be recording tonight, and laying white hot fire onto a track.

4/19 - Saturday: Stupid software... installing ended up taking an inordinate amount of time. Turns out the license program is not vista compatible (yay!), so I had to download a new one from their site. I should be getting the song up soon, I'm going to end up doing a song I wrote a year back. The hip hop song will have to wait, as I'm terrible with that style of music.
