this weekend was a good weekend.

new members of my family. awesome.

writing again!

So I'm finally writing and demoing music again. I've been cursed with a bad case of writer's block for the last month, but I finally shook it and I couldn't be happier with how these new songs are sounding.
I also recorded my first cover song - Aside by The Weakerthans. This is one of maybe three covers I have ever played live, so I figured it'd be a good one to start with. I'll probably keep recording covers of songs I like and put them on Bandcamp when they're done, so keep an eye out for that!

Hey everyone

I tried making a blog awhile ago, but I got lazy with it and didn't feel like maintaining it. Here's my new start. I'm going to be writing about music things that I've been doing lately and posting audio and visual media, too.

Right now, I'm in Pennsylvania, living at my parents house for the summer and working. I've really missed my drums here terribly, and I want to bring them back to Chicago at the end of the summer. I need to get a couple mic cables and some new drum sticks so I can start demoing for my next record. Actually, I recorded two songs the other day with one mic and posted one on my facebook music page. It's called Yours Truly, and I'll probably post it here soon enough. Today, I'm gonna work on making some neat physical copies of Some Light. There won't be too many copies made, since hardly anybody still buys CDs, but the copies that will exist are going to be pretty cool! Stay tuned and thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to listen to my music. You rule!
