Self-fulfilling defeat.

By in boring

My mic cord is all messed up so I can’t record, which is helpful since I keep writing songs and having no way to … record them. This is dire! Thankfully, I keep notes.

Example:
Ooh ooh ooh – 12 beats including last ooh – awaken my little bats,

Then,
Actually 20 beats!

And finally,
Wait no, 15! 15!

I dither as a professional courtesy to myself. If the last change doesn’t work, I have at the least 2 other beats to try. Usually it’s at least four other options, I was being lazy this time.

I should scan notes some times because I have fun coming up with little doodles and drawings that mean musical things in my head. I could learn how to read and write music, but I already have a system in place. I’d hate to confuse things/myself.

Prepare for navel-gazing.

I think I’ve got everything set up now. I was doing something dumb before. I fixed it. I’ll probably do more dumb things later.

I’ve been in a music rut for most of this year. I’m changing that now. No more rut.

Unless you’re misspelling ‘root’ and you mean ‘ginger root’ and there’s ginger beer somewhere.

That was tortured and I apologize.
