so im going to the studio sunday. we went tuesday. tuesday was a disaster. i didn't get much recorded. i was too sleepy. and anita's thing took too much time. but anita's time was worth it. it was definately a step forward. it was the best showing i've seen ever anita doing. it was pretty badass. it feels like a film soundtrack. she was on the piano. doodling around. basically i said record it. she wasn't sure. i knew it was what we needed to do. she likes pianos. she doesn't own one. whenever we go to a music store she does this. plays it for awhile. does alot of cool stuff. has a sense of fun. i wanted to capture that. it happened purely by accident. but i remember the guy from the grizzly man soundtrack. the werner herzog film. basically they had an extra thing for the making of the soundtrack. the guitarist was talking about how each performance was different. each one was unique. and thats what gave it character. i kinda believe that. anita did the same thing. it has character. something she'll never do again. not quite that way again. unless she wanted to memorize. so that's that really. she did a great job. but all my time went away. so i didn't get a chance to do a good job. the things i did sucked. i wasn't in the zone
we have the loop pedal in the car. got replaced. the old one got fucked up. somethin happened. not sure what. it just doesnt work. kinda shitty. but it did its job. for a long while. just ran its course. happens. shame though. i had it awhile. never fucked up. always reliable. but thats that. anyway. equipmentwise we brought alota stuff. guitar bass and acoustic. keyboard and pedals. and then of course lyrics. written and on laptops. plus my mind. creativety ready to go. this's the third time that we'll spend in the studio. i'm not sure how that'll go. it should be pretty badass. i've got alot to get off my chest. there's alot to say. alot to sing about. plus lots of ways to do music. lots of things i havent tried in the studio yet. lots of old songs to re-record. a couple simple tracks that can be overdubbed. new tracks to be written, either in acoustic, loop pedal, or full band. there's alot of directions to go. i'm not sure what exactly i'll decide to take it. there's alot of different genre's i'd like to explore. basically it'd be cool to do grime. but the thing is i'm not good at it. i'm not even quite sure how to do it. that comes with lack of experience. but i'm willing to give it a try. i've always been into turntabling too. like scratching and stuff. i was thinking of getting dj hero.
songwise ive written alot of words online. havent really used them for anything. at least not for the mostpart. theyre just kinda there if i need 'em. whichs kinda nice. drumwise i apparently am not as good as i used to be. they didnt have a high hat. which sucked. but i made do. i ended up taking off the drum tracks. the keyboard drums seem to work well. but the laptop beats work now thanks to cords. i guess the stuff needs to be grounded. it takes away all the hiss. i havent done anything yet with hammerhead beats. theyre super easy to use. probably way easier to use than a click track. so i might just start makin those. the click is also super loud too. but its cool how the headphones work. adjust each thing for each track. makes it easier to play to. its also nice that all the instruments are there. i just kinda wish shit wouldn't take so long to do. at least on the engineers side. he takes awhile to set shit up. i know its pretty complicated. but it would be nice if he had shit set up before we got there. the piano sounds really good. so that might be something to take advantage of. but yeah. i dont really write piano music. but i do have a couple keyboard songs. thing is i dont really have rewire anymore. which made all my best beats. which sucks. but oh well. i can get by.
there's alot of topics i can draw from. the songtitles in the book are a starting point. officially band names they can be used in different ways. its cool to have that really. tuesday was the first time i felt like i was using audacity. it was pretty cool. kinda got shit done. not bad really. got used to using the setup. and not shy about telling the guy what to do. thats probably the best way to do it. otherwise youre just kinda like wasting your time. youve gotta try hard to get shit done. you dont have much time. times expensive. and then when its up youve gotta go. its usually never when you want it. but thats how it usually works. and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. but i definately wish i could have indefinate time in a studio. i wish it didnt cost so much. i think all i need is a soundproof booth. big enough for drums. with perhaps controls inside. something that says stop recording and start it. maybe the ability to change tracks. the actual pc would somewhere else. that keeps it easy. otherwise youre kinda screwed. so i have alot of old tracks i can fuck with. but the question is what do i want to do. im not entirely sure. i wouldn't mind having a dhol player. but they're hard to find. so that's that really. but if i could find one it would be cool.
genre wise i dont even know what to call myself. i was talking to a roadie yesterday. she makes as much as the band. she books their tours. and she rides in busses with about ten or twenty people. she was riding with the band since she was ten. i thought that was kinda crazy. you wouldnt expect afterall someone to do something like that. but thats her life i guess. she's a lesbian. so she says. she said i should just sign myself to a label. and after that promote myself. i guess you can hire promoters. people who can book your gigs for you. and then you have to pay the venues for the shows. you pay your studio for the album. and then you pay your tour manager for booking it. but yeah. ive only done one paying gig. anitas only been my tour person. never hired anyone. ive talked about managers before. i guess i dont need that. i dont know. but it might be nice to have one. i guess they do the hard work. while you focus on the music. they take their cut but they do their fair share of work. im not sure if theyre worth having but they might be. i heard that alot of people will screw you over. i was hearing stories from the girl yesterday. she was saying there are alot of people in columbus who are untrustworthy. that was just kinda stupid to experience.

thinking about making it
so the pursuit in music has always been money. for me anyway. i really look back fondly on the times i spent with vivek. those few months i had a band with damien were great. the day i had a standing ovation was amazing. and the many shows ive done with anita have been great. i guess you could say i need music. i used to learn recorder in england. violin and keyboard at qegs. singing hymns from the yellow books. watching people at the local temple. being in chicago and standing and singing. learning the harmonium and the tabla. these are my memories. we learned shabads even though we didn't know the meaning. even singing songs in heathfield. this is like from preschool on. in ohio getting the trombone. getting the guitar. the trombone was because of a girl. picking up that godzilla cd. and that poorly chosen snoop dogg cd. getting the soundtrack for little nicky. picking up led zeppelin 4. led zeppelin 1. getting rush 2112. human clay by creed. the beatles. these were all cd's i was given. the highschool years. going over to allan daugnheimers and being shown blink 182. these were the sounds that explained my condition. radiohead in highschool. coldplay on the radio.
as i went to college, i downloaded. many new bands. many new styles. bloc party. interpol. iron and wine. ever more diverse in their style. it was all very cool. so im definately a fan of listening to music. and im also a fan of playing it. ive been on many stages. ive recorded two albums. three really. two and a half. the second one got botched. what with the death. the first was in highschool. a project for immersion. the third one with anita in central city. a stab back at the old style. but music is definately in me. i travel with a guitar. it gets used. we do open mics. they're not bad. we meet people through them. these people aren't all bad. but i've written words. i've gotten really into writing words. and i've written many songs. i've been into writing music for a long time. right now i need to get a new pedal for my setup. it broke at a show. it costs alot. i got two but asked my mom to return them. im gonna go out and buy it again. i guess you could say i want a band. i would love to learn turntables. over time ive developed my identity as a writer. the lyrics specifically. im still all over the place with music. i love listening to music. when it comes to playing i love it too. but ive made up so many its hard to remember the tunes. and i need to memorize them for shows.
but music is just a joy to do. i used to think that it was a bad thing. something that kept me isolated in the basement. i kinda feel like thats more to do with my parents now. but it was a way to communicate. and over the years i got alot of stuff off my chest. so i guess thats that. i dont know what i want with my music. i dont know if i want to be famous. ive read about how it can be bad. i feel like im in the wrong part of the world. my kinda music gets played in the city. the midwest doesnt support it. im really british in my music. ive got the passport to go there. but i dont know what i'd do. maybe we could try and go there as a working band. that would be interesting. im not sure how they would recieve me there. but it would be something to check out. a friend of mine from Heathfield has a band. she actually became very successfull. i was very impressed when i found out. we'll see though. i guess we need a band name. i dont wanna be called deganwy's lost son anymore. at least thats what i thought in boston. i guess while im in beavercreek it suits me just fine. but the identity changes as i leave. interesting how that works, huh? but i wanna do another album while im here. to keep things rolling. keep building. and keep moving forward
central city does a good deal. 250 dollars 8 hours. you can do alot in 8 hours. i did 3 cd's. that was alot of fun. i really do wanna be famous with music. i think it would be pretty awesome. thats what me and vivek worked for back in the day. we both really wanted to make it alot. we would roam around the streets of columbus and try to get shows and gigs. we did lots of open mics and we tried to form bands. but i think columbus is too small to form a band in. but they do have good deals on recording. we used to get into different parties and stuff. we played a show for a guy that i had met like once. it was all excitement in those days. vivek was always into the next new thing. and i was kindof along for the ride. and it was a glorious momentus ride. he taught me so much about recording. about the enthusiasm for music. about how to sit down and write a song. we would sit with our guitars for many hours. i would sit with mine with lauren and damien and rob. my time in the corridors of mvs. those wayward jams with paul. my time with the jazz ensemble. the night owl show. my senior recidal. the cd i worked on. showing people my work in college. playing through the talent show.

myspace #1
jasons band
i think it just sounds depressing. and very uptight too. like he seems like he's got deep issues. and he's just trying to get them vented through his music. which i think it just kinda rediculous. he's not putting anything out positive. like vivek used to put out positive stuff. but this is just like depressing. i think that music thats depressing shouldnt be put out. because all youre doing is spreading your misery. music is supposed to be something that celebrates something. in a way this just comes across as emo. i don't care what other name they give it, it's pretty much emo. what's your take on that?
This is what the guy i keep telling you about would call irresponsible music. It's not a good thing to spread a bad vibe. It's kinda like counterproductive. Like if you imagine you're in charge of a bunch of people. And you just decide fuck 'em all I'm just going to be depressed. Like look at Obama. He gets alot of criticism but he still gets up in the morning and does his job with a straight face. Like he continues to try and inspire people around the world. The point is, there's a responsible way to do shit, and there's an irresponsible way to do shit. Do shit the wrong way and you can really poison the well. You wanna make sure you're making a postive contribution to society. Like Sigur Ros does. Sigur Ros is probably the most responsible band that i know of in modern times. Music you can take your kids to listen to. Like most people in Iceland really like Sigur Ros. Because that land is basically there to express their love for their country. But its not nationalistic, its something that can translate to any country. Because they're kindof just celebrating the Icelandic vibe.
Like it just sounds miserable. The voice especially. Like it has the possibility to be better but the voice kills it.
Jasons new band
It sounds completely different. Here's my theory. Jason was basically trying to be vivek. and it just was making him miserable. because he can't be vivek, he needed to let him go, but instead he tried to become him. and i think with this band it sounds like he's finally starting to let him go. its much more chilled out and emotional.
It's kinda sad again to be honest. When he gets other people to collaborate with him it sounds more positive. Like this you basically can tell how its meant to be. Jasons a backup musician he's not a singer. He's still singing too much. He sings twice as much as the girl. He needs to cut that down alot. because he's already doing the guitar drums and bass. The problem is if he doesn't collaborate nad play in a band he's just not playing music. Like it has this possibility of being good. But i think he kicks his own song down at certain points.
It basically sounds like rockabilly. I think Jason actually feels happy being a backup musician. I just feel like im listening to someone's dysfunctional like... uh... distraction from their own problems. I don't really feel like listening to that.

"I agree with the emo crap. I don't like listening to his music either. It's just... the only reason I knew it was his music is because it sounded so shitty. Like uh, as far as the happy vibe goes that isn't even there. It's all just depression."

the trouble with tuesdays
club passim:
there's this club that has an open mic, you have to pay 'em five dollars to play. isn't that a ripoff. and they also only let you play two songs. they offer to record you a cd of your songs for an extra price. its rediculous. boston has so many shitty open mics. but the real rediculous thing is how many people still go to it. if this thing is right, 60 people show up for it. because its free to members, and i have no idea how their member scheme works. but im sure members will take advantage of that. it would cost 10 bucks for us. so apparently its like a 50 year old place. like it played a role in the folk scene inthe 60s. bob dylan tried to play there for free. and apparently they refused to let bruce springsteen play. bob dylan had to play for free because they weren't willing to pay him. apparently its 60 to 100 dollars to be a member there. if youre a student you can be one for 35 bucks but you cant without ID. this place just kinda seems like a money factory. they're so greedy they even go to a 2,500 dollar level. if you get that you get free access to all shows and stuff. but it's like... that just seems to me like highway robbery. i can't believe they even have this on a website. like this just shows how shitty and how low people in boston are. you cant charge peopel 2500 bucks for an open mic. neither can you charge 'em a 100 bucks. i think its because they think its historical so they think they can get money out of them. but thats a disgusting mentality to have over something as open as an open mic. and i can't believe that guy over there in that store reccomended this place to us. i think its one massive network of people who are trying to rip you off. its just disgusting to see so many greedy people in the music scene. over in columbus this is unheard of. i hate to say it but thats just another reason columbus is better. its just shit. its like blood money. and theyre going and wringing it out of artists. they have the least money and theyre getting them to pay more money. higher rent and higher price for the artists? i feel like spitting on the window of this place. there's your membership fee.
The Burren
here's another stupid open mic. so, first of all, its in somerville. in davis square. so im not even sure we could get there on public transport. but once we get there, and we have to get there at 5pm, there's no guarentee when you're gonna play. because... guess what. they draw your name out of a fucking hat. its not show up early and get signed up early, its show up and whatever time you show up, thats basically when they draw the names out of the hat, and they basically do that shit. i hate all the stupid gimmicks they do out here.
The Rosebud
this one doesn't look bad. like there's no fee that i can see. but it does start at 8pm. and it is in somerville. but i don't think they have any hat thing. which's good 'cause i don't want any of that nonsense. the only thing im not sure about is it says its run by miss genevieve. which sounds like a sketchy ass name. i imagine some fantasy obsessed white chick, or like a real big chubby black chick. either one of those is going to be weird. why call yourself "miss" genevieve. just use your name. but its 15 minutes. she says contact me for your time. im guessing thats at the actual mic, and not like, before, which basically thats the feeling i get, when i read how she wrote that. so maybe she's also an idiot.
Paddy O's
so this one sounds stupid too. its in boston. it might be at park station. but it starts at 8. now... the thing thats weird is this is the berklee spot. this's where people go from their school. so i don't really necessarily want to have anything to do with these berkley people. because... all the jazz and nonsense is just not my style. plus this isn't a regular open mic this is a jam. which means we couldn't play a single one of our songs. which's absolutely shitty. so that's not gonna work.

speeding up music #2
kings of leon - aha shake heartbreak
the guitar sounds awesome. but the bass is repetative. the drums kindof sound boring. but the guitar is definately awesome. the vocals aren't even that great. the guitar is the best part of this band. that's probably why i like 'em. they give you alot of like good inspiration. there's alot of parts that're entirely around the guitar. you can tell they write their songs around the guitar. i think the guy doesn't even write his lyrics until the guitar parts done. i mean the guy had a couple good spots with his singing but it was mostly guitar. they like repetative shit. again the guitar is the reason this song sounds good. the drum isnt even good. the bass is repetative. and the vocals are just kinda thrown on top. if it wasnt for the guitar player they'd suck completely. it's interesting that a band is so one-dimensional. like the drummer and the bass player and the singer all base their shit off the guitar. the drums are sometimes good. but the guitar is the main thing in this band. the lead and the rhythm guitar together. they're like a great combo. the bass player just sounds depressed. but the guitar is like so fresh. thats why i like it alot. and the singers not even that good. these are like my guitar heroes i guess you could say. like they inspire me in my own stuff. like really this is badass guitaring. like the lead guitar? and even the rhythm guitar in the background. the drummer and the bass player just dont seem to get it. and the singer doesnt seem to get it either. the guitar is kinda shitty. but the bass and drums are always shitty. the guitars what makes it interesting. and all the singer does is get raspy and shit but he doesn't do anything good. it's like only the guitarist that does anything good. it's just annoying. bands where one person does everything annoy. like when everyone relies on one person to be good. the rest of the band sucks. like not a single one of them could stand on their own two feet. but the guitar is way better. the bass player is just so simple in what he plays. its just not hard to play. probably could figure it out in five seconds. its three notes. this is kendall style music. you just need to take the guitar out so it doesnt sound cool. it doesnt even sound that cool. the guitar is what sounds anything near badass in this band. great guitar parts. everythings fucking repetative surrounding the guitar. like this would sound good just vocals and guitar. the guitar like jumps out. but i think it would be cool if they performed the entire album electric guitar and vocals. and fuck the drums and fuck the bass. they just hide the goodness of the guitar. and the guitar's easily the best part of this band. it's just so good. can you see how it inspires me? do you ever hear me stuff that sounds like this? 'cause i've got a great example here of how to do it. this reminds me of pete doherty. but the drums are so shitty. and the bass is so shitty too. it just ruins the music. it would be better without the bass and the drums. its a shame that this band doesn't have a better drummer and bass player. i'd love to hear just the guitars and the vocals and see how that sounded. that's so sweet. if you listen to it you can tell they go back and forth. and the vocals are so stupid. they don't even mean anything. like the only reason i like this band is because of the guitars. guitars are so awesome. they're almost like... mod punk. its like mod punk meets like rockabilly. but only the worst parts of rockabilly. like the stupid repetative drums and the stupid repetative bass. but i mean its not bad. because of the guitars though. like what the guitars are doing its so far ahead of any other band. like it reminds me of the first time i heard bloc party. 'cause i used to be a hardcore guitarist. so thats why i liked bands with like... hardcore guitar players. but like the more i became more of a singer, thats when sigur ros started to appeal to me. see to me sigur ros is like the singer band, and like, kings of leon is the guitar band. like if you took those guitar riffs from kings of leon put them with like sigur ros vocals, you'd have a pretty good combination there, maybe with like massive attack drums. that'd be a pretty cool combination wouldn't it? maybe that'll be a band i put together one day. the guitars so good. like without it these songs would suck. its all about how finesse the guitar is. like i'd love to find out who the guitarist is for this band. they do a badass job at what they do. there's the fucking annoying bass player. repetative shit. see how much better it sounds without the drums? the singer isn't even that good though. his impulses are shitty. fire him and hire jonsi. jonsi's the lead singer for sigur ros. yeah fire this guy. he sqawks like a fucking parrot. another repetative drum and bass song. see take the guitarist from this band and put 'em in sigur ros. that'd be a fucking badass pair. they're wasted in this band. all they do is add little bits and bobs to the guitar part. and they're nothing significant either. like i think it'd be cool to get two guitarists, maybe i can sing, and just cover this album with just electric guitars and me. or maybe it'll just be instrumental kings of leon. no vocals. just two guitars. electric. and we'll cover the whole album. that would be pretty fucking cool. better than this shit. its like taking the guitarists and highlighting that shit. these guys just needa fire their drummer and bass player. they do nothing but destroy the songs.
sigur ros - meo suo i eyrum vio spilum endalaust
sigur ros is the music of people hiding. it's soothing for sure but i think its also the ultimate hideaway music. there's something about it which really seems to kinda take hold whilst you're listening. like you're just sitting there and thinking ot yourself... hmm, this is brilliant. and that's the thing about these guys. they're really simple with what they do but the emotions of jonsi certainly overpower most of the other elements of the stuff. if you think about it its kinda like Slow-core orwhatever you want to call that genre, if you speed their things up to about 2 or 3 times the original speed you have something that sounds like a symphony. which to me is interesting.
