“We are the music makers / and we are the dreamers of the dreams”
July 09, 2004, 03:29 pmOh. Oh. Oh. I can barely breathe! I want to sit down every person I love and respect and tell them: “I love and respect you. Please listen to these two new Merediths songs that we worked on last night!” And then during the playback, I would enthusiastically emote the songs and dance a little and look at them with expectation after the parts that I think are especially clever.
I am so proud of what we've done. Everyone seems to be rising to the occasion: Joe has only seriously been playing guitar for less than a year and he's gotten so much better. And I swear Brian's my favorite drummer, not just that I've played with, but favorite favorite!! He rocks out the jams like no other and is so incredibly tasteful! I'm so fucking enthusiastic!
Things to not forget, which some might classify as “unforgettable”:
- the vocal booth banter (Re: Joe's teal skivvies)
- the Truetone Chord Organ
- Joe's attempts to sing like a woman
- Nickie saving the day with awesome vocals, concertina, and accordian
- the Gibson RD is to the Fender Telecaster as James Hetfield is to Bruce Springsteen
Things I need:
- afuche
- castanets
- guiro
- claves
- finger cymbals
- singing saw
- cello (I wish!)
- a big-fucking-grand piano (as long as I'm wishing, I might as well wish big)
