Cats Up
Today I’ve been going through all the old recordings of previous bands and projects I’ve been involved with. I’m sending a cd to the guys from my first “real” band in high school. It’s going to be a collection of some of the good and bad music I’ve been a part of. For some reason all this music isn’t on my ipod or computer but I think it’s buried deep on one of my external harddrives. It’s very strange listening to music I wrote/recorded 10 years ago and haven’t listened to in 5. Surprisingly, some elements still hold up or interest me while a lot of it is pretty much unbearable to listen to. I’ve always had a hard time listening to myself especially singing but either I’ve gotten better or can tolerate it more over the last few years. Maybe I’ll try using some of the material from my high school and college years in some other context.
As I mentioned, tonight is the first show of my new band which we’ll call MPF for the moment. MPF has really come together in just a few months. It doesn’t look like our turnout is going to be very good tonight but you never know. I’ve learned not get upset or frustrated at how many people do or don’t show up. I’m planning on doing a whole segment on people coming to shows and the psychology involved. Regardless, MPF is going to be a lot of fun tonight and it will be nice finally testing out a lot of things that we’ve never tried in other bands. I’ll try to write up a brief and hopefully not too boring review of the show later. Once again no pictures. Boo hoo.
