"Sometimes" There's a Pinch of Happy

Sitting in the cushy plaid chair at the Galuminum Foil Studio  (don't try to find the pun....there isn't one) in South Williamsburg Brooklyn, sipping on a Modelo Especial, listening to a kick-ass drummer playing to my scratch track of "Sometimes", I have to smile and pinch myself.  I realize it's a cliche that the best parts of life are the rides and not the destinations, but damn, right now feels like a little bit of both.  So F$$$ing happy right now.  This EP is going to be SO bad-ass.   Pictured is the best back-of-the-head-model east of the Mississippi (as well as bad-ass drummer I mentioned earlier) Sarab Singh and Jeff Berner, zeee Producairrrrre (and that's what 10 years of French gets you).

The Day Job Dilemma + reference to my favorite Saved by the Bell episode.

I just posted this on the Dead Copycats blog, but it applies to my solo songwriting as well. In the words of Jessie Spano "There's Never Any Time!"

Newfangled

Greetings Blogosphere! 
Hate to start off on a less than positive note, but I must confess I was highly disappointed by the deluge this past weekend.  I am completely worthless on a rainy day, especially one following a bleak and blizzardy New York February.  My goals of finishing lyrics for two new songs for the Dead Copycats were completely drowned under the 25 inches of rainfall.  AND, I rolled into the office job an hour late because my body couldn't quite adjust to the time change.  Great start to the week!
Nevertheless, hope springs eternal....and for someone with a dash of the seasonal depression blues, it springs eternal in the spring.  March is flying by and I can't wait to start recording my solo stuff in April.  Can't help but think how appropriate it is to start a brand new creative project in the zenith of sprintime in New York, my absolute favorite time in the city, when those cherry blossoms start a-bloomin' and all those clothes peel right off.  Til Then!
