it's so much easier to play someone else's something than to write your own. right now, the thing that i cannot get thru my head is how to make these recordings of mine sound any better or how all of these people can do things with a guitar that they do.
out of my frustration have been many half-attempts and pout sessions.
that is to say: i've written a few songs but don't have them recorded. i did however, record my attempt at a Bright Eyes song, "The First Day of My Life." it is a very good song.
it's up on my music space, so check it out!

A Latent Power I Know They Hide.
so it's just after 1am and i'm stuck to Fuse TV. my magnetic connection can sever once The Shin's music video for "Phantom Limb" ends. it's actually the only reason i watched it.
today my parents and i departed for pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to get my sister; she flew in for her spring break. like every car ride, it ended with me falling asleep in a most awkward position while listening to music on my iPod. mostly being The shins and Death cab and Spoon.
the most exciting thing that happened today: , while waiting for her plane, we looked thru ikea forever...i bought a cactus. how exciting. hopefully it will live as well as my chiapet widget. (sadly, it has died three times already)
then we went to a book store forever. i couldn't find a book i had seen there once before about learning harmonica (which is harder than you'd think - or maybe i'm untalented) so i looked thru some outdated books on the topic of home recording. i wish i had money to buy all of this equipment and be able to do what i want to with my music.
i've written two new songs. i just need to record them, after i finish touching them up. i'm very happy with them.
personally, i hated the movie "the science of sleep," it made no sense. well, okay...it made sense. sometimes people try to be too artsy, and his was one. i liked parts and things in it. just not enough to like it all.
i'm driving to North Carolina, to spend time w/ sara this friday morning and see the shins on saturday. oh, my blood cannot sit still. it courses thru my body constantly, filled with excitement. or maybe it's just to keep me alive. friday, why are you a week away?
new releases to look out for:
March 6th
Relient K - 5 score and seven years ago
march 20th
Modest mouse - we were dead before the ship even sank
the snake the cross the crown - cotton teeth
there's so much music that is crap, in my ears. why is that all that's on television?
i got my shins fill and i've emptied my mind, the end.
