another day, another dollar

pleasant sigh of relief

I'm tempted to switch from the classic editor over to the new fancy one and, what's more, I've switched from my treasure trove of video from the barbecuing I've been doing the past week over to some cigarette commercials I found months ago on the Internet Archive.

That was also my first hyperlink--we're blogging some shit, today.

Let me tell you all about it. I wrote some guitar ideas for 7 today, and decided that they were all rhythm guitar parts. Somehow that was discouraging. I'll finish up parts for 3, 13, and possibly 11 tomorrow and otherwise try to ready myself and the lab for a pair of hot sessions, Tuesday, my boys Blake and Brian laying silky tracks, respectively.

Not much else to report. I'm gearing up for my wee vacation; hell, I practiced trombone today.

Here's my full-on video for 13. I like this song and I think the chorus is catchy. So catchy do I think this chorus that I've peppered the song with all manner of lovely flutey-ness ha-ha! The flutes and their starkling final entrance are rather disruptive to what would potentially be quite a hit for this record, so there ha-ha!

I suppose I wave these flutes like I just don't care.

Again, the video's content is derived from a Kool cigarettes commercial featuring an absolutely stellar and perhaps overlarge jazz combo. You'll be intimately familiar by the song's end.

I think I can do as many drafts of these videos as I draft the music they accompany. In this particular instance, I'm thinking I might make more of the rhythmic editing that characterizes the end of the video, spread through its entirety.

Tighten things up a little, I say.

We'll get drums, guitar, and whatever snappy sound effects and pads I can come up with before we record final vocals for these sexy jams.

Sound like a plan?
