Like old Job

I had a dream last night that Josh Homme and Billy Corgan formed a band. This would be incredible. Those two guys are both among my favourite guitarists and vocalists (don't even ask me about Billy Corgan, I don't know why but I can't get enough of his voice for some stupid reason). I was pretty disappointed when I woke up and that wasn't real.

Also the thought of those two being on the same stage is hilarious.

So I got my new guitar yesterday. An Epiphone Les Paul Studio. I got it with funds I got from selling my bass (finally) so I'm not at a loss. It's so very pretty, and I can finally play some songs that I've wanted to but didn't have the right tone (or for that matter, number of frets) to sound right.

Haven't named it yet, but I have a couple of ideas.

On the topic of having a guitar I can play, I want to get songmaking. Andrew and I were talking about doing some stuff for Imperial (a steampunk prog project we came up with once for god knows what reason, I think we were making fun of Metric), and There's A Couple of Guys Work The Panic, which I would really like to get working on, it's just a matter of the two of us being there at the same time and not either a) tired as hell b) about to go out or c) sleeping. It's been a busy summer and between money issues and things going on music time has been limited. I'm hoping to get past that soon though because I wanna.

Also, I have some songs written that I don't really think fit into either of those projects, but I dunno. That can wait.

On the topic of ambitions, Art... I really need to get on that shit. I spend close to an hour and a half a day on public transit. Maybe if I converted that from staring blankly into drawing time, I could get some work done. I find that once I start something like that I am much more inclined to see the final product, it's just that I spend far too much time thinking about it, and not enough time making it happen. Need to improve that.

I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again, I want an artist table at next year's FanExpo.

So, albums currently occupying my time:

QOTSA - Era Vulgaris
Blackfield - Blackfield II
Marillion - Clutching at Straws

And hard as I might try, I just can't seem to get into Riverside. Sorry, Zack.
