I'd planned to start writing something, but found myself in no mood. On the way home, I risked my life by writing things in my notebook. It was a list of things that... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003590 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-18T22:33:43-06:00 I re-recorded the keyboard part that I did wrong when I originally recorded "This Summer." I also recorded some guitar strumming for the bridge, but I'm not sure if it'll really fit because I didn't have much time to work... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003589 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-17T20:02:46-06:00 Today I started recording "This Summer", a song by Squeeze. It'll be my one NaSoAlMo cover song, and I'll also submit it for Coverville Idol. I got most of it recorded, but I recorded the keyboard part wrong in one... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003588 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-16T22:06:39-06:00 I finished recording "Sugar and the Supersweet Trio: a folk opera in five acts" tonight. I use the the word "finished" loosely. If I didn't have other songs to write and record this month, I'd probably add some bass and... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003587 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-15T19:44:49-06:00 After a severe case of PMS with much crying and anger and feeling like it's the end of life as I know it, I recovered and worked on lyrics for the folk opera I'm writing about Sugar, Saccharin, Aspartame and... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003586 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-11T20:57:07-06:00 The Texas Legislature started filing bills today. Hundreds of them! I forgot how much fun it is to look at the bills they're filing. I spent the last hour looking at the list instead of writing and recording an album.... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003585 Bill Watch kinez 2008-11-10T22:28:56-06:00 I'm trying to survive NaSoAlMo burnout. Or maybe I'm not trying. Today, I decided not to work on music because I'm sick of it. I did some housework and watched some TV. But then I thought maybe I could deal... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003584 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-09T20:03:37-06:00 I recorded my tribute to the movie Fandango tonight. As I was recording vocals, I remembered that technique where I double the harmony to make it sound lighter. It's hard to remember things when I hardly ever record. This afternoon... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003583 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-08T22:27:36-06:00 This afternoon, I'm waiting for the heating guy to get here to fix the fan on my heating and a/c unit. It won't stop running even if I turn it off at the thermostat. While waiting, I re-recorded the guitar... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003582 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-08T14:48:28-06:00 I went to lunch at Houstons today. I haven't been there in ages. The prices were high last time I went, but I think they're even higher now. Ribs for $26. I skipped the ribs. On the way home, I... http://www.ssmrocks.com/kimnovak/mt/blog/archives3/2008_11.php#003581 NaSoAlMo 2008 kinez 2008-11-07T22:52:24-06:00
