Forthcoming Music Update
April 15th, 2009
What you should know
- Working on some songs with Lee Bozeman still. (I really owe this more focus ASAP).
- Stop Don’t Stop EP still in the works. Drums, Bass, Guitars are finished. Vocals and Aux Percussion still needed, plus any extra “spices” we will add.
- I have also been tracking the new Michael Edwards LP for a couple of weeks.
New Michael Edwards LP you say?
Yes. Not news if you read this site. I am harvesting a couple of years of songs and also much new material into a good, juicy package. Hopefully it can be heard to be adding a few instruments to my repertoire as well as perhaps new kinds of songs. You’ll never find me recording 10 same-sounding-songs and boringly releasing it.
(more…)
Music on the way, other happenings
March 11th, 2009
There are many projects on the horizon this year that I’m working on. All Things Bright & Beautiful has some upcoming songs, Dunvint’s debut LP is on the way, Stop Don’t Stop EP (“Some Kind Of Change”), and my forthcoming LP which has lots of post-apocalyptic scenarios and involves lakes and orchards and militias and orphans and more (but no, this won’t be like the Decemberists. I refuse to have barrow boys and chimbley sweeps and scurvy in my music). It might get tough to finish all of these projects in a timely fashion, because there are a ton of weddings this year, not to mention my own!
This is also the year where I shall cross the quarter-century mark. Perhaps I can raise a guinness glass in the air with some of my friends who I don’t get to see very often anymore. I would like that.
Godspeed to my brother who will be interviewed for a chance to be admitted to Columbia University in New York for a masters program in (correct me if I’m wrong) Fine Arts!
Well, I wanted to sit here and write something more but it’s almost 1AM and the words aren’t coming. I shall invite the muse to come along next time.

Lately
June 23rd, 2008
Lately I’ve been recording the Stop Don’t Stop record. It’s been sort of slow, but it should be pretty good. The first full-length that will come of a band that I have been in (thus, I am not counting The Family Album from ’05).
Aside from that, I am now in search of a job. I am torn between the loss of independence of a full-time job, but need the financial support to invest in many things in the future. Music, trips, future life, it’s all going to take that dreaded thing called money. If none of my full-time searches pan out, then I will have to resort to something less ambitious.
While a full time job will mean less music time, I haven’t been as productive as I could have been with all my free time. I am hoping to prove that I can change that, though. I’ve been meditating lately on “self-control” and how doing whatever you want at any given moment can actually mean a loss of control, because you only end up doing whatever you have an immediate desire for, and few or no longer-term goals will be worked towards. This happens with work, but also with leisure, with eating, with interacting with others, etc.
Stop Don’t Stop @ Frankie’s
April 30th, 2008
I have updated my Flickr page with images from the Stop Don’t Stop show at Frankie’s in Toledo. We played with AM Error (their final show), GoLab, and Enon. Very fun show!
We were almost too late to the show because Corey had a bad spill while skating in Maumee. Apparently he was attempting a wall ride, fell, and in a reflexive motion put his arms out. Let’s just say that landing full force on your fully extended arm is bad news for your shoulder. So, it popped out. We picked up at St. Luke’s in Maumee. He was a trooper and still played the show!
Corey “shouldering” his shoulder injury.
I am stealing this update notification gif from Justin because it is a great idea:
