Ummmm no title.

A few weeks ago, someone suggested that I scale back my album project and turn it into an EP. I said I didn't want to do that, because I had finished a shorter project before (a three-song EP I gave out for Christmas a couple of years ago) and I wanted to branch out and go bigger.

But today, after recording the fourth scratch vocal for this project, I started dreading the prospect of writing and roughly singing seven more sets of lyrics. It's all getting dragged out too long. I listened to some of the other songs today for the first time in a while and I'm totally uninspired by them.

Later, on my way to 7-11 for a thing of Ben and Jerry's Turtle Soup, I had a brilliant idea: Scale back my album project and turn it into an EP! But with five songs. That's bigger than anything I've done, right? It's still moving forward at least.

So I'm going to finish the four new songs I'm working on and rework an old song that I've always thought deserved a little more attention than I gave it the first time around.

I think I've pretty much decided to stop feeling guilty about not working on music more or faster. I mean, it's MY music. I don't have a contract with anybody or anything. I don't know why I work so slowly/neurotically. I just do. I have a friend who can literally produce songs more frequently than BMs. That's his way of going about business. I finish an average of (just guessing here) three songs a year since I started making music.

Anyway, I'm waiting for a new piece of equipment to arrive and then it's make-it-work time for the backing tracks, which is my favorite part, I think.
