A good day. Remember that one time I accidentally had a beard and wore eyeliner again?Today was mostly a vocal day here at this studio. Michael (singer) recorded vocals while I simply enjoyed myself. I've made somewhat of a good friend with David (Guitarist) just one of those kindred types of folks. We have a lot of time to talk and it's really nice because the same sorts of thoughts eat at his mind as mine. You know...LIFE. We took a 6 mile walk today. Warm weather for michigan. Comfortable even for a southern boy like myself. Of course, I've been conditioned to the weather over the last few months. (I've spent a lot of it in the north.)
There has been a good portion of my life in which I've been opposed to taking walks. Why? I don't know. Recently my good friend Trey reminded me that it improves oxygen flow to your brain and in therefore an aid in thought. I like thinking, so I've been down with the walks recently. I think it's probably good for my soul as well (whatever a soul is).
Lovedrug has been recording some nice musics up here. The producer is a pain in the ass. I've always said I didn't like having producers involved with the making of a record. I don't think having and extra person involved with the music making process is a way to purely represent art made by a specific group of people (a band) who spends every waking hour together and have a bank of experiences together to draw from. This particular producer is the kind of producer that does stuff musically that I HATE, so there has been a lot of biting of the lip going on on my end. It's a bit stressful because I try to maintain whatever cattywhompus ethics and integrity I hold in reguards to music in whatever artistic endeavor I'm involved with and for the first time in my life I'm having to deal with people who just plain don't like my ideas and tastes. Wierd. Soon this will be over.
Well, generally I just love life and the fact that mine is in no way "normal". I really do love a lot of stuff, and I think the whole experience is just getting better and better.
