Musical Update

Maybe has added three new songs to his repertoire:
1.) A Day in the Life (Beatles) - The only difference in this cover is that I dropped a verse from the original.
2.) With a Little Help From my Friends (Beatles) - I left this song alone for the most part. Why try to fix what ain't broken ;)
3.) Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd) - I've slowed it down a little.

In other news:
1.) I am finally back to 100%...and FUCK...do I feel amazing!
Look out world...here I come...and I'm fuckin' pissed!

:P

General Update

First: Music
1.) I nearly have the $300 needed to record my demo. If everything goes according to plan I should be able to hit the studio in two weeks. That's right...new tracks are almost here, people!
2.) I am still trying to find someone who will let me borrow their amp so that I can jam with the Natives-until I can actually buy one of my own-but it seems that no one I know really plays music...but I will continue my search.
3.) This ties into my need for an amp, because without an amp it is very difficult for us to practice songs (Maybe & The Natives). In other words I can't play over my drummer unless I start throwing my hand around in a crazy fashion...which usually leads to injuries and blood on my guitar. So unfortunately Maybe & The Natives has been temporarily postponed until an amp can be acquired.

Life
1.) I am now finally confident that I will fully recover from my close brush with insanity. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I recently attended Polygamy Productions' outrageous party: Illusions in Sound: Part 2. While I was there I ate a controlled substance, and tripped out harder than I ever have before. I wouldn't trade the experience, as I am now stronger in many ways, but it is taking a long time for me to get back into the swing of everyday life. BUT, I am coming back, and I am remembering things piece by piece. I'm sure I'll be 100% within a week, but the constant exhaustion is still hurting me quite a bit! The funny thing is that sleep just makes me more tired...weird! But rejoice...Jazzy is okay!
2.) I've had to make a domestic change in my life. Let's just say that I woke up from my apathy and realized that I wasn't happy! It's only been a couple of days on my own, but I already feel less stressed and less worried!
3.) I love all of my friends so much! To everyone who called me to see if I was okay, I thank you. It really made me realize how many great people I have in my life!

Other
1.) Midterms are next week :(
2.) Spring Break is in two weeks :)
3.) I have blisters on me fingers!

Musical Update

It seems that I will be recording earlier than I thought, as money is coming in quicker than expected! This is great news as the faster my demo gets recorded the sooner I can update my MySpace tracks, as well as get other, better gigs! I'm also very excited to hand off a few songs to my good friend DJ Frito so he can remix them...
Big things are coming...
...Big Things...
Oh, and don't forget to get at me for tickets for my April 27th show. I know it's a long ways off, but it's never too early to plan ahead...as the early bird says...
