Productivity

Okay so. I'm back. English was boring. I need to start wearing heels.

Yesterday, I realized that I could use the Voice Memo app on my phone to record songs. Why didn't I realize this before?!?

And that lead to this!
Neither of the two songs that are up are perfect, but they are acceptable. Ideally there will be more up this evening.
The first song posted, "While You Were Sleeping," I wrote probably mid-2008, around the time I graduated. It's not perfect, actually, I don't even think it's that good, but it was the first thing that I wrote that made sense. And it's happy and upbeat, plus it was the only thing I had on paper where all the pages and stanzas were together and in the correct order. Everything else still has some assembly required. And if I had planned ahead further, I could have brought everything to school with me and organized, but that's not what happened.
"Don't Trust Me," by 3oh!3 is just ridiculous and I love it. It's actually the only song I know by them. Tonight I'm going to try to record "Sometime Around Midnight" by The Airborne Toxic Event and/or the live version of "Pokerface" by Lady Gaga from the Cherrytree Sessions. That version is actually the one sampled on Make Her Say by Kid Cudi. It's legit.

In other news:

Alkaline Trio will be here on Monday with Cursive. I'm really really excited. So excited that I don't even care that I haven't found anyone to go with yet. I saw Alkaline Trio with Rise Against and the Gaslight Anthem the last time they were here, and they definitely put on a good show. Plus, Cursive is awesome, and totally underrated. Or maybe they're totally mainstream and I live under a rock? Who knows, but I definitely live under a rock.

And I'm not entirely sure when or how that happened. But I have fallen off the face of the Earth.
