ComEnts

AK came over to my place yesterday, the mission was to try and get one or two song ideas that we could take into our full band jam next Monday. If forming a band is like a relationship we are currently in the "Oooh, I think she likes me, does this count as a date? Should I try and kiss her?" stage. We have a long way to go before we get to the stage we want to be at, namely performing nightly sex shows on stages in smokey Amsterdam bars. Er... maybe that's not the way that analogy should have gone. How about; We have a long way to go before we get to the stage we want to be at, namely married with lots of happy song babies. That's crap too. I wish I'd never started this stupid analogy.

The main problem yesterday (which we overcame) was that we were playing one electric guitar and one acoustic between us. There's such a different feel to playing on an electric to an acoustic that it totally changes the way you play and write. Well, I find that anyway, and AK seemed to agree. You can write rock riffs on an acoustic but they sound and feel totally different when you transfer them across. Ok, the notes and rhythm are the same but the vibe is totally different.

Anyway we did get a few ideas down for the rhythm section to massively improve on Monday. No doubt you'll be hearing some of it at some point.
