song a day #18

eight teeeen =
star parade

an unusual sweet-slow-sad lullabye. i was tempted to subvert it and make it the same except "a parade of SARS." still stuck in a similar structure as many others, though. it is a very workable structure, i guess. i started something else all crazy and astructural and it was making me sleepy and then i made this pretty quickly. the root melody i have played a lot for a long time and will probably revisit. i think i like this one. anything is better after yesterday's turd. note: if you only listen to one song a day, let it not be "pack a jing. " ah well, such is songaday. does anyone out there have a favorite? my right now is the one about my teeth a few days ago. i love trollblazing and little birdy, too.

some things:
other stuff i was excited for the other day - my friend jimmy is super amazing. me and my other friend, big j (also amazing), are lucky enough to do the voices for his amazing cartoons. the new one just came out - check it out at: Big Castle Productions i am the little blob named marty. "the passion of the kingdom rebels." beautiful brilliant filthy crazy. i love my jimmy. he also did some work for troma that just got released as a special feature on dvd. i am the voice of the robotic dildo. all amazing. go and see.

and then also a little more about songs:
when i started i was adamant about not feeling guilty if i couldn't get a song done in any day. for the first few days i was "stacking songs," working on a few in one day in case there was a crazy day. i stopped letting myself do that and have been utterly obsessed with simply making one song in that day. well, it's my nature to obsess over some stuff, so i've remained committed. and i plan to do so until day 30. then i will be taking a break. i definitely want to do it again, probably soon. it is great fun. making one song every day is magic, but it also predetermines my day and stifles some of my social life. eh, who needs a social life anyways?

and one more thing: i am so excited about the new tmbg. at first i didn't know what to make of it. i woke up today craving it (and smiling at andywade on my couch - YAY!), and now unbridled love for THE SPINE. i want to play the song experimental film for so many of my friends! and there is a video for that on homestar, but i don't feel like typing that link - but everyone knows homestar...

thanks for listening, scroll down for lots more, i'm playing on the 20th at the allston plan, let me know what you wanna hear and then come and hear. phew. long post...

yay.
