I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I posted last. Much has happened including the birth of my twin babies. But now that they are here and things have settled down a bit, I’m ready to get back into the music. In the coming week I hope to upload some more tunes that Brian Bowe and I recorded. And if time allows (which tends to be rare with newborn babies), I hope to record at least a little something.
This is what’s been keeping me busy lately…
Checking off tracks during recording. We (the Icicles) are on Day 7 of recording. Hope to finish tracking today and dive into mixing tomorrow.
Shoegazer jam session today! Hope to post some video or soundbytes.
Feeling sassy!

Listening to: Wilco, Summerteeth
I’m feeling a little discouraged tonight. I happened upon my copy of the Artist’s Way from about ten years ago. I flipped through the book and read some of my journal entries. The same themes stood out then as do today. I work too much. I do not spend enough time making music. I want to be a rock star when I grow up. Nothing has changed really. Not even my approach or priorities. I’ve known for a long time that I work too much and too hard and I neglect making music which is what I love most. Why haven’t I made music a more important part of my life? Am I destined to stay in this continuous cycle - work, work, work with a little bit of music sprinkled in? How do I change?
