Is this really a Musicians Blog if this is turning into a platform where I complain?
Our rehearsal time first thing in the morning has been taken out of the timetable because you know it’s too difficult to drag your self into college for 9am, it’s not bloody hard is it.
There was no motivation from the rest of my band today, I was ready to go but the others were like MmmMmM there’s no singer. So that’s going to be great, I’d be more than happy to fill in but playing and singing at the same time is pretty difficult. Also I don’t think you’d thing someone like me would sing, which is true.
We gave “Let’s Go Crazy” a try which went well, but from my snobby musicians perspective it feels like there’s a lot missing as there’s not much the three of us can do musically to fill or a sparse arrangement.
Composition this week consisted of my favourite the 12 bar structure huzzah, we recorded hound dog on Logic but considering my sleep deprived state hates thinking early I made it awfully, MIDI is the one thing I have a strong hate towards its like leave these instruments alone they’re not all keyboards.
I began to write up my essay for Jason on ‘Purple Rain’ but looking back on my notes is like looking back at Hitlers paintings, it’s impressive but you shouldn’t be ecstatic when you see them.
That took a lot of energy out of me, plus I had little to no money for food, so when rehearsal came around after lunch I was ready to backflip off a building into the pond. We went through “Purple Rain” and “Let’s Go Crazy” but it’s like 50/50 when it comes to passion at the moment and it’s really digging at me, I’m choosing to show in person as that’s for losers.
Tutor yet again, not fun, I know it’s not meant to be but normally Chris pops some good jokes but I can’t actually recall what happened so, that will remain a huge mystery…
