I know that in order for me to ensure a little sanity in life, I should write things down. I usually journal in a small composition notebook for all of my thoughts (good or bad), and with the convenience of this here website, I think I can kill a couple of foul creatures with one rock. I’ll try to post to this page often and just take the few minutes out of my day to put out the information that is in my head and talk about what I’ve been doing, and the things that are currently happening with my music as well as what my friends are up to.
I have quite a bit going on right now with mixing and gigging and teaching and getting ready for this upcoming semester at school so there’s too much to talk about for a quick couple of paragraphs today. I’ll go into more detail as the days go by.
Currently, I’m working on a new video release where I play all the instruments again. I’m calling it Little Sparks. The name came from a song I wrote on a beach vacation where the lightning storm on a certain night gave me an idea for a poem. The lyrics never got used, but the main riff of the song sounds to me like what the melody was going to sound like. I’ll let you know when I’m done with it.
I’m also working on mixing a new single from Octopus Tree. I’m taking my time on it so that I get it right. It’ll be the first release since we finished Every Light is a Sun, so I want to make sure all the sounds and stuff are as perfect as I can get them. Also something I’ll keep everyone updated on.
Dillon from the Teddinators has been working hard on a handful of things we’ve had going on for the past year and that will be something special. I’ll write about it more as the release dates get closer.
Alright, that’s enough for today. I’ve gotta go work on other things. I hope that the whole internet thinks this blog is worth looking at. If not, then I’ll at least get some writing practice.
Thanks for reading,
Joe.
