If anyone is actually reading this blog they will know how hard I am finding it to find a regular musical flow. I’m writing music and songs left right and center but I am spanning this out over a crazy long period of time due to other commitments. This is not an ideal way to work. As I’ve got over an albums worth of songs now close to being finished but still in a fair state of flux, I thought I’d try to look at a different take on music. I’ve cleared down my ipod apart from a few key “must have” albums and chosen some of my lesser listened to and certainly lesser influenced music to see if it helps me finish some of the songs in progress but also maybe find a few new and different ones. It’s music inspired from my youth mostly, stuff that was fun to listen to in a pub or club but not much fun to play as a fast fingered long haired progressing guitarist, but may now give an older and better player a different avenue to look at.
I’ve also filled my normal ipod with a lot of music that I listen to on my gym ipod, this is stuff that I would never really play or listen to outside of te gym normally due to poor musical content, howver I’ve found that there can be some good hidden gems in there with interesting rythems and lyrical progression, I’ll probably delete these soon, but it’s certainly worth exploring.
