Musical Vault

I’ve not posted much this week, partly due to having little free musical time. A good portion of this time is taken up driving too and from my 9-5 job as it is quite a distance a way at the moment.  The radio has been very poor of late so I’ve started going through old CD’s that I’ve not listened to in a while and listening to them on the drive. This has gone really well I’ve enjoyed two old Perl Jam CD’s – one more than the other, Jeff Buckleys Grace, but also slated a few songs on it (I’m ready to be shot with flaming comments) and I’ve got two CD’s I’ve never heard before for today’s drive and Friday. This is giving me some inspiration and reminding me of some guitar sounds and tricks, and song sounds and styles that I’d forgotten about and forgotten can work really well. I’m going to try to keep up with the musical vault next week as even when I’m not enjoying the song, I’m enjoying knowing that I don’t enjoy it and why.

I’m also going to try to listen to some of my old vinyl at home in the evening see how this kick starts things. The 9-5 really drags out the writing and recording process. Keep with me though, I’m glad I decided to do this blog to see where I started and how I got to the finished item (assuming I do get there.)
