i re-mixed the tunes from last week, much better this time, because I had my concentration back. you might want to see if it's worth replacing them on the blog, especially release.

if nothing better comes along *
we set a target date to start performing friday night. and we are going out as a two piece if nothing better comes along.
i wrote words to "call me", that now is "walk by your house". we tried it out last night, but the song isn't ready for prime time yet.
we are honing the recent tunes and we did one i wrote last year which we hadn't played for a couple of months.
on "release" we added a pause in the center of the song, and changed the ending, on "maria" jonathan is trying different instrumental parts. this is the second of the two versions we did friday.
1. release

clusterf**k
i quote jonathan: "once I made the first mistake, i never looked back". we got together for our bi-monthly practice, we set up to record the whole thing since its a writing session, and thats when it took a turn for the worse! a series of compounding mistakes ensued.
to quote jonathan again: "it's not exactly true we got nothing. somehow, by dumb luck, managed not to entirely destroy the maria we did that I said had a reggae feel (it doesn't). we played it a bit sloppy, but what was great about it was that you jumped in and tried something different, which started to get me going. but by the time we really started cooking, i was well past being able to capture it on the hard drive.
there are no niceties like well mixed tracks and lush reverbs and such, guitars and vocals sit on the same track. and he said that we did much better versions; but this is what we have! it is sloppy, but i like it for its spontaneity.
