TODAY!

WHAT I’VE DONE!

Finished two beats for my next (final? WHO KNOWS!?) mixtape

My previous (and honestly only one I did solo worth listening to) mixtape is here, and another one that I did with my boy Ben is here (the first track fuckin bangs if I do say so myself)

Played a bunch of the Division

Ever since update 1.4 I’ve been on the fence about it. While it’s definitely more fun to play and they’ve fixed the loot fuckery and it’s easy and fun to get stuff that’s cool and makes you feel like a badass, without some new endgame content it just is literally doing the same shit again and again. Think I’m gonna go back to Halo 

Watched a bunch of Netflix

Got the sheets I ordered on Amazon

WHAT I STILL NEED TO DO!

Start at least one more beat

The dishes

Clean the kitchen

Take out the trash

Work out

I was thinking I’d go to the gym but I think I’ll just make it happen in the living room this time

Figure out dinner maneuvers. And actually lunch maneuvers first, the kid is hungry

...I think I’m gonna do another mixtape

Everything That Has a Beginning, by Freddonzolo

Maybe waiting on one last song (it's a long one -- yes that's what she said -- and it's taking a bit longer), but I couldn't sit on it any longer. 

It's been a blast making music over the past few years and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss it but I'd rather stop while I'm ahead (figuratively speaking because I'm not even ahead at all but whatever). 

I feel really good about this, and I hope you guys enjoy it.

Time for a nap

Then laundry/packing CUZ THE KID IS H-TOWN BOUND TOMORROW YA DIG. Dad's birthday, shenanigans, etc.

Might be hearing my mixtape for the first time tomorrow. I am anxious, which isn't something I've ever felt about music. I'm gonna say that it's a good thing. 

I have so much homework (I have to score a Rorschach hahahaha) but I just wanna sleep and not really do much else

"Everything That Has a Beginning" is done

Just got home from recording the last three tracks and the ~1 minute trumpet solo at the Ben Cave. Seven tracks all told. Ben is mixing it and has set a tentative ETA on the finished product for Friday. One week is pretty fuckin shweet.

I will be doing my usual pimping and reblogging of the link as soon as I have it, but it'll be here when the time is right.

Word.

Just nailed down the gist of that last bit of trumpetery. It's sorta like an outline, I know what I wanna do and I know I'm gonna do it (like I have a broad strokes of when I want certain licks to be in relation to the chord changes), but when I get in front of the mic I'm filling in the gaps, if that makes any sense. It's like I have Point A, B and C set in stone, and then I'm gonna be winging the traveling between the points when I get into the studio (aka the BenCave)

I am excite

Four out of seven tracks off "Everything That Has a Beginning" are recorded. Gonna be finishing it up next weekend I think. GET EXCITED

Ben had an idea for the final track that includes me playing some sexy blues on my trumpet. I'm quite excited for that (even if it means lugging my trumpet home with me for the weekend)

LOOK AT BEN'S DOG HE'S THE GREATEST

Now I get to go to a (relatively short) closing shift at work and then maybe out for Maria's birthday? Stay tuned!

I'm practicing the three songs I'll be recording this weekend under my breath as I walk from class to class. Stupid excited to get back in the studio
