I know, I know. I have been making noise about an "Upcoming Album" forever. But it is actually happening now. My good friend Michael J is producing it, and we are currently about 3 songs in. Probably going to be a 10 song deal. I've also finally got my own project studio functional, but only after pouring more money than I can afford into it in phases for the past 9 months. So, I'm set up to make some legit sounding demo stuff. This is great for me because I now have everything I need to start learning how to create some really good sounding recordings. This is also great for you, because I'll be posting all of more palatable musical endeavors here on the site for free download to everyone (well, everyone who joins the mailing list ;-)   The album has a ways to go, we have to finish tracking the rest of the stuff, get it mixed, mastered, then pressed & packaged. But I'll should be posting some free downloadable demo tunes possibly as soon as next week. I know when I'm checking out a band or musician I like to be able to listen to all their stuff that didn't make the cut. All their Lo-Fi demo's of tunes that for one reason or another fell by the wayside. Inevitably my favorite songs are always found on B-sides. I doubt I'm alone in my love of obscure homemade recordings, so I'll be posting as much of that kind of stuff as I can. I'm going to defy my nature and focus on quantity rather than quality on these demos. Meaning I'll be playing it a little fast and loose on the songwriting front, trying new things to expand my horizons as a writer. But, I'll still try and keep the bad notes to a minimum :-) Anyways, I'm in a writing mood and could probably ramble on for a long time yet, but I won't indulge myself at your expense. Keep your eyes out for free stuff!!!

So I usually do all of my computer stuff from my dell, with windows. But I am sitting here with my buddy bill (the one from the awesome band I play in that's myspace page can be found at www.myspace.com/cromeyellowmusic) and he is letting me fool around on his MacBook, so I decided to give the old web-blog a go. Here is a picture:


HA!
I love it. Bill says hello.

Next time...

I just got out of my first class this morning with 2 hours to spare. Plenty of time to study up for the test I have in my next class. Typically I get online and jot down notes from a chapter outline that is posted on a course webpage. I figured I had plenty of time to get that done, so I checked my facebook and read a few blogs. When I finally got around to visiting the page that the chapter outline is usually posted on, it wasn't there. Never had been. I have been warned in class plenty of times that all of the outlines won't be online, and I had 5 days to check it out and get this reading done. I instead opted to do nothing and wait for the clutch-play that has become my go-to move. And now, when I realize the amount of speed skimming I will have to do before class, I decide it would be a better idea to post a blog about the situation. My time management skills are second to none.

well, i just spent all this time trying to figure out how to put a blog on this site, and now that i have done it, i dont really have anything to say except...im glad i have a place to write my random thoughts and musings...whenever they strike me...which is not now...but soon...so keep checking back!
