School stuff monday through wednesday... Half day Wed. meant yard work and more rehearsal with Justin. It went alright, took a little while to settle in. I liked the mixer in the setup with feedback loops, but I think I need to tweak the level of the output on the delay. Overall, good set. I need to listen to the rec. he made of Sunday and write down what the fuck I'm doing in my notebook for tomorrow. Was thinking about it an hour ago, I like Cockslap, I like playing in it, but I really couldn't ever make it my main project. I need some emotional content. Which is why I think Battles could never really be my favourite band of all time. Yes, they are fucking awesome, but there comes a point where if you put a gun to their collective heads and told them to write a love song, they might not be coming up with the most luscious melodies and lyrics ever.

Anyway: Today, not so bad. Didn't really feel like a complete day. Jazz band at 6:30. 3 other people there. They talked about theory and why notes can be moved around to form scales. Was sorta boring for me. Just did blues progressions the whole night. Ended at 8, talked to Dan Healey about the state of the band, told me he trusts me in a manner of speaking with stuff I don't want to disclose ever here.

Blogging, internet, listening to the new sweetthieves song which YOU SHOULD ALL LISTEN TO ON THEIR MYSPACE RIGHT NOW, shower then bed.
