Day(s) off

See kids, I usually work six days a week. I've got my Monday through Friday contract job (which lasts until October) and then there's the old standby weekend job at Land of the Lost. Upon getting my full-time job I kept my one day a week shift at LOTL for a few reasons: the owners are amazing, first dibs on incoming wares, money honey, beachclub. However, this weekend I took off and got (gasp) two days off in a row. And the reason for my lengthy holiday? Oh, well since you asked...

I'm working on my first solo record, under my own name. No monikers this time. It's sort of consuming my life at this point. I think about it constantly. But for the past three weeks I haven't really been able to work on any recordings. See kids, my girlfriend lives in Sweden and when she comes to visit I'm 100 percent focused on her. When she was here the recording/writing processes got put on the back burner. But now that she's back home I feel like I've got a job to do. I need to finish this album. It's been in the works since January; I'm looking at a May completion date. So, I told you all of that so I could tell you this: I took the day off work to well, um, work. You know, slide the faders, saturate some hard drives. And yes! Another song completed. Right now I have seven songs that are finished and making the grade. God, I'd love to just post them all right now and see what everyone thinks but I need to keep them close. They're still babies...still seeing ghosts.
