i have no idea what happened here. I don’t even want to talk about it. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year! Oh, and they gave us a theme of “glitter”… and i somehow managed to muck that up so it’s in garbage where it belongs.

and we got another sweater theme

So i have two songs about ugly sweaters on my Christmas page.

And this year’s isn’t as good as the previous one.

I’ve been setting up synth beds and playing over them, I think it helps the overall mix. The theme was ‘Entropy’ so I wrote a song with a silly title and relatively normal lyrics. So it’s over in punk.

I just used amp synths because my cat was sleeping next to the Vox.

I made a little Shoegaze. The theme was ‘jetlag’ and i’m pretty sure this is a song i’ve somehow written 10 times already and this was my poorest performance of it yet. Anyway, it’s over with the other space rock stuff. And it’s at the top of the list now but i suspect the next time i do a little clean-up that this particular track will wind up on the bottom.

i always piss off for a few weeks in November due to obligations but i’ve returned and having not practiced a single instrument (PowerTable9k notwithstanding) I decided to take the theme of ‘Birthplace’ and make a punk song.

The weight of obligations also stopped me from getting past the halfway point writing a 50k novella during november, but i put enough into the first 20k words that it might be worth revisiting. If I do, then I might make good on that promise of serializing it somewhere here.
