As exciting and fun it is to be a musician, to have a band, the ability to create and do what I love, sometimes it's frustrating the hell out of me. Technical stuff turns my creativity off.
I do love my new laptop, I finally got it to work. I am getting myself ready to go on the road and still be able to write/record music. I've never been the kind of person who just writes and keeps the idea in my head; I've got too many of those and forget them just as easily as they come to me. I have to record them. Funny thing is sometimes I listen to songs I wrote and I don't even remember writing them. Sometimes I'm amazed, like wow, I did that? lol I love those moments and I need those because they inspire me to keep going.
We are in the middle of booking a tour and doing a radio promo. While there's a lot going on, it seems like nothing is happening. But it's the same in a battlefield, you never know when the bombs go off. Right now it's really important to make good use of my time and resources.
Of course there's the JVB solo album rotting in my old computer as well as a concept album...[yes a new OD album] floating in the back of my head. I think it would be wise to use all this very intense frustration to create. I'm kinda tired of the very polished sound and crave something a bit more raw and imperfect. I just have to walk over to the studio computer and get started, for some reason it seems very hard, wtf?...the constant battle of me and myself.
Off I go to feed my soul.

Raw and imperfect? Have you thought about incorporating an accordion? Nothing says raw and imperfect quite like industrial fusion polka rock! It will bring a smill to your face if nothing else.
