yeeeeesh...still not songaday

if you are here for the first time and just want to hear some songs, click here for a quick reference of the first set of songadays these songs were made one every day from june to july or so, and i plan to start up again as soon as humanly possible.

man, am i lazy or what?

i'm getting excited and prepared to start songs again.
the idea is this: that i want to accumulate some new tools to have at my disposal before i start the next songaday session. basically some new sounds. i want each set (the next will definitely be another 30-day set) to have some sort of "distinction," even if it is only in my mind.

but in the meantime! as was mentioned, i am working with the awesome ryan hodson making a video for lobster building which is coming out amazingly and will hopefully be ready soon soon soon.

and apparently that very lobster-song has appeared on zbc recently due to nice steve garfield or Captain Blog, as i prefer to call him.

and i have started making a few new songs, though i haven't posted anything yet. i am on vacation from real life work this week, so there will be much fine relaxation along with a whole bunch of project-oriented stuff, family visits, and a fun trip to an island in maine - all of which has its hand in leading up to the next session of songaday.

and last week i saw prince AND the polyphonic spree for extreme rock fun time. so good.

okay and yay.

stillnotsongaday

at the urging of an unnamed and unnameable colleague, i am posting to the "bjournal," despite the fact that i still have not begun songaday again. i am torn about this, and almost want to leave this space as ground for only songs, but i believe rock-music related updates are also relevant.

so: to that end...i have not made any songs since songaday. very interesting. since that time i have been on some kind of "recharge" mode. which has been pretty great. i have toyed with the idea of releasing songaday as a little cd. but in the end i think i want to do a somewhat more fleshed out cd that has some of the songaday songs (unrevised). i also want to use some of the songs that pre-date songaday (like pets ) and there are one or two more that haven't been made yet. then i will call the cd "everything is okay."

and then also i am currently working on a video for an older song i did called lobster building
i am working with the cool cats at moov lab , in particular the super awesome video dynamite queen ryan hodson.

and what of the next round of songaday?
the urge is growing and i am shooting for some time in seeptember. the only problem is a backlog of other "projects" i currently have going (including making the above-mentioned cd). but i have some time off from work leading into september, so hopefully i can get somewhat caught up.

okay - be nice and good and i'll come back with more songs soon!

notasongaday (yet again)

still not making a song every day yet again.
soon soon.
if anyone is still looking here, i finally updated the
songaday index page

i hope to start up again in a month or so.
in the meantime i hope to make a cd out of some of the songaday material and other stuff, too.
please let me know if you have a favorite songaday that you simply must see on the cd.

okay.
back soon enough.

notsongaday again (yet)

hi.
no new songaday yet.
but it is getting ready to bust open again. i need to do some other chores and write a few other songs first. i'd expect to start up again perhaps in september...

but! i do have another show:
i am playing another rock show
august 5th with Building Press, Gold and Polaris Mine at
the Midway in Jamaica Plain

they tell me i'll be on at 9:30.
in all likelihood there is some sort of a cover...
the midway is over near forest hills. right next to doyle's. come
on now, you know it!
