past the mission
been home for a couple of weeks now, may as well check in, eh?
the birthday/come-home show went brilliantly! thanks to those who played and all those who attended - i could definitely stand to get old this way.
have settled back into the home life, and am straining those creative juices for the remaining songs to round out the next record! starting in gentle by trying to round out and beef up some existing demos, but there are some new bits and pieces floating about already. i'm very much looking forward to making this record, i learned a lot of lessons last time around, and i'm positively chomping at the bit to put them all into action. shopping around for an engineer soon, i'm very excited to be in a position where i can hire someone else to press 'record' for me - and i'll be using a lot of pretty toys this time around. i'm looking forward to getting some really killer sounds on this record, and that notion's got me all tingly and anticipatory.
in news maybe not so far down the road, we're rollin' on down to the rock house tonight for a COCA showcase and we've only recently accepted a gracious offer from another north to join them on the bill at the levee (formerly roxxy's) on the 27th of june - should be fun!
on a more final and serious note - keep an eye on iran, friends. not to get too heavy on you, but that shit is fucked up. there's a whole lot of people over there risking their lives and putting up with a whole lot of bullshit because they want to participate in the democratic process, and have their voices heard and respected. that's heady stuff to a white kid living in a country that couldn't bother to get off their collective asses and go to the polls in the fall. (i'll take this opportunity to point out that while we left for tour the day of the federal election in october, i made sure i got myself and my boys up a little bit early to rock the vote before we left town.)
point being, the last time our country had the opportunity to pick our poison, our biggest obstacle was our own apathy - not the barrel of a gun. mull that over as we keep an eye on the situation and hope that a peaceful display of dissent and international pressure can get some transparency and accountability for a population who've earned it. if ahmadinejad won fairly, then cheers to him, by all means - but show your workings, y'all. there ought to only be the one set of results.
peace, love, and freshly baked goods,
