itunes..and me ...perfect together

hello bloggers of the world! i'm back for round two of this blog experience, and man i have alot to say!

my album "Good Man Down" was just added to iTunes! i just have to wait 6 weeks for it to be verified(sucks) but hey atleast it's up there!

it's real exciting to work on something for that long and to finally say, hey i'm done. thats been the worst part about putting together this album. most artists out today have no idea how the recording aspect of the cd happens so they just go in..lay down tracks and wait for it to come out. but what about the guy who sits behind his computer for nights on end making your album?

for the past 2 months i've had sleepness nights of just straight work with this cd, and now that it's done i'm just happy i can move on from it, and make something happen.

i played a surprise show tonight with a group called "Socratic." and the lead singer just astounds me. he's got that James Dean cool factor to him, but writes like Edgar Allen Poe. his writing is rash and beautiful at the same time...one of his lines goes:

"when you were pissed and on the rag, i waited around but now i'm packin' my bags"

blows my mind to use that kind of reference in a tune, but the way he does it fits. sometimes i wonder if being a songwriter i'm supposed to have that "cool","mysterious" factor about myself. to be completely honest i'm too open of a person to be like that, however i do have my quiet moments which arent always a bad thing...it's just how i get.

other than all that, my day was ok, and just plain i guess...but as i sit here with heavy eyes trying to make this nightlight of a computer screen keep me awake, i find my self falling faster into a sleep mode. so goodnight!
