Other People's Music
Feb. 21st, 2007 04:47 amSo remember when I used to do a little pod casting? Man, it seems like a lifetime ago. And to be honest since I moved things have not been the same in my life. I spend a whole lot more time outside my apartment working, partying, rehearsing with my band... it's wonderful. There are people in my neighbourhood that I actually want to see. Lots of them.
But my inner geek feels a bit repressed. He is dying to while away an afternoon with nothing to do except tinker an RSS feed or find ideal artwork for podcast chapters.
Therefore the web host has been paid for another year and the various domain names have re-seeded themselves into DNS existence. When I have a few moments to rub together I will get some mixes all gussied up for posting.
Now I just need to get back on my indie nerd game. I sorta lapsed a moving then travelling then doing the whole holiday rush thing. Suddenly it's nearly March. And when you're playing in a band it's hard to really focus on other people's music. It's nice but you wonder how toxic the influence will be. I mean I'd love to just cover Cut Copy or The Decemberists or Animotion or something. But outside of an Open Mic night that would be lame.
I wonder if life will ever suddenly turn golden? I often feel the under utilized potential, like a constant haze that makes every week feel like a transitory period. All the phases of time and place become a gradient rather than a contrast. I guess I want more excitement... more drama. And retrospectively all of which is going on right now IS wonderfully stirring. There are just no dancing elephants or drag queens on stilts.
