Stuck in a rut

One Sunday morning ago, after a night on the piss I turned on my computer to find a nice suprise. It was the mix of  'Man Love!' that we recorded in the studio.

I previously had received 'Don't quit your day job' and I thought that it was awesome. It came out just how I wanted it to. Though the guys were not as impressed as I was, because they complained that the recording sounded too live. But, that is what I was expecting. I knew it would have more of a live feel to it.

So, when I played the first mix of 'Man Love!' I was very disappointed. I kept comparing it to our previous recording that you can find here on my AnD blog. Though, if we hadn't have recorded 'Man Love!' at K-town I wouldn't have anything to compare it to. But, I do. Even the music didn't sound as good. I was so depressed.

But what can I do. I am going back to Mark-1... again. But, how much better am I going to be able to make it? My confidence has faded.

It's been three weeks since we performed last, but it seems forever. Our next show will be on the 21st for Rockin' for Refugees and we will choose around four out of ten of our original songs to play. Nothing new I'm afraid. Not yet.

I have had so many ideas for songs, but I only get to see the guys once a week for practice, so there is not enough time to work on them. Plus, we have been busy getting ready for the show.

Last practice we had enough time to work on a song I had written, called 'Theseus', it is about a Greek myth. This song has the potential to be another great F.B.I. hit, that's if we have enough time to work on it to make it better.

Archvictor showed us something that he has been working on. It is a really funky song and I look forward to writing some lyrics to accompany it. But again, not enough time to work on it in the band room.

I guess I am just a little frustrated with the lull we have been having. Or maybe it is just the weather that is making me feel depressed?

I am glad it is the weekend. I am going to Macau on Saturday night with my girlfriend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. By the time I blog next I should be a happier chappy.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
