365 Day 310: Over

it's not over, but it is overbearing and all sort of other things

365 Day 302: Happiness

So this is a major third, the Western Art Music symbol for "happiness" some 150 years ago. (need we talk about the history of tonality).

lots of things make me question its validity.

but honestly, it's in the best way possible.

365 Day 262: Discombobulate

lots of drinking in the past couple of days. but I finally figured out ben's pseudo-clawhammer guitar style, which is kind of really like slap guitar. in a way. so I can sort of do it.

365 Day 136: Sit

I love how perfect intervals growl.

I need to sit down and organize my life.

365 Day 135: Devotion

pseudo profound questions bouncing in my head. "how much can we depend on a person?" "should we depend on someone else?" and such. title from a line (@2:50, among other places) from:

also, apparently the rapture is coming on Saturday. so much for "like a thief in the night" or whatever.

365 Day 130: The G string of a 1960's Kay bass plucked from afar by some drunk hack

365 Day 119: Drip

Kind of related to the idea of an X-cell, which is two tritones a semitone apart, but this is two perfect fifths a semitone apart, poorly sung.

365 Day 51: Can Carry a Tune

a little drunk after a good ynotw show @ jimmy jazz, so clearly recording vocals was the logical choice.

365 Day 32: The Wooly

So I guess yesterday's recording was accompanied by a bit of melancholy chatter, which I'll have to revise sometime later. Today I'm also a little buzzed, but in a much better mood. Just came from a great show at the Woolwich Arrow, one of my favourite bars in guelph. Played with and for a lovely bunch of people, and had a lovely bunch of beers.

It's also the one month anniversary of this project. something cooler to come tomorrow, I have the whole day to me, grocery shopping, and homework.

365 Day 31: This Pattern

This pattern of thought leads to nothing productive.

This pattern of thought is not productive. Though I spent the evening performing good jazz music with No Dice and a combo consisting of Ryan Turner, Danny B, Leah Horzempa, and Adam Malcolm, and getting drunk in atrium thereafter; my thoughts were filled with debates about "moving on" and such. Hada good talk with Jenn.

This is getting to be a bit of a blog, I guess, eh?
