Been awhile since I've done a #bandcamp discount and it's been awhile since they've done a #BandcampFrday. How about a discount off some #PrettyEightMachine, my #NineInchNails tribute, on #vinyl? If you're into #NIN and #chiptune I think you'll dig it. I want these to find some good homes, all proceeds go to my moving fund.

One of my favorite musical artists is a recent find: Eli Lieb. He was very active releasing videos 9-15 years ago, especially cover songs. He has done some of his own creations as well more recently, which are quite moving.

Eli has a delightful raspy, powerful voice that brings new textures and other elements to songs from other artists, especially Adele and Katy Perry. It's really awesome that he is LGBTQIA+ and is happy to croon about it! And he is rather easy on the eyes. 😉

I hope all is well with him, and he's just taking a break from being a YouTuber these past two years. I daresay it would be quite an experience of hearing him in person.

Bands

I want my band back. We were so close to having it back, what the hell happened? We were actually talking about trying to book a show around Halloween. Instead, we never played together again. Why? How?

What if I can’t get my band back? What happens then? If the band is over, do I want to start a new band? Do I want to join an existing band? The thought of either option is just overwhelming to me. Why? I don’t understand it.

I just want to play, you know? It is all the other stuff that has to happen to allow one to just play that I can’t wrap my tired, old man brain around right now. I could blame it on the holidays, but I was spinning my brain around this long before the holiday season started.

I just want to play.

I feel better about my place in the universe now.

I got up, did my exercise for the day, ate breakfast, and played the guitar. I learned two songs for tonight’s band practice. One of them requires a capo! What the hell, bro? I own a capo but I haven’t a clue where it is. I tuned the guitar up a full step to F# and learned the song that way. I’ll have to get a capo this weekend and re-learn the song for next time. There was a third song on our to do list but I seem to recall our singer saying to drop it. I hope so because there is a keyboard part that will tie my hands in an a knot if I have to play it.

After working on the new songs for the band, I recorded rhythm guitar parts for one song and lead parts for another! We had band progress and 50/90 challenge progress. Epic!

And even with all that music, I was not late for work! WOOHOO!
