The plan is to use this blog to document (for myself anyway) these next few months, as I write and record demos and try to get ready to record the new album.

Recording a full band record this time, so the songs are a bit different than the usual solo-acoustic gloom and doom from the tomb variety. Actually, I’m trying to write songs that sound like Oasis getting into a street fight with the Ramones and being saved by the members of Cheap Trick. No small feat….but then my idol has always been Pete Townshend and my current favorite band is Slobberbone/The Drams.

So as I write and ruminate and second-guess the living shit out of myself, I’m gonna jot it all down here. Right now I got 12 songs written and demo-d, but I keep wavering on all but a few of them, which is sorta a red flag. Or at least should be.

I once described this new record as trying to re-write “Can’t Explain” 10 times without getting sued.

In a bit…
