11:46 am - Instant Bootleg
This is my new song, as played last night. Note the loud crowd noise -- especially appropriate as the song is basically about taking the fact that people don't listen to/like me personally (or not). What you can't hear on the recording (though a giggle near the recording device was probably inspired by it) was the opening act Dark Oz and his girlfriend dangerously approaching having Mad Hippie Sex on the dancefloor right in front of me. Not what my music is intended to inspire, but I'm glad when people are having a good time. Thanks to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) buz for coming to the gig & helping even though he was sick, buying me the recorder for Xmas, and recording the set! Also to MY MOM katmulkey (welcome to LJ Mom!) for helping with the merch and being the best.
Five people came to see me, including my mom and Buz. I never thought it was possible that my draw would actually decrease as I became a better performer, but that's life.
The new song has been called "All Over Now" as I've been working on it, since that's the first line I wrote for it, which begins the chorus. I think that title is cheesy so don't be surprised if it changes. Or suggest a new one based on the lyrics (which are also not final.)

10:39 am - New music happenings
I'm not sure whether the covers project I've been talking about for years will come next, because I'm actually full of new songs. Surprisingly, I'm gravitating toward writing these on cello instead of piano.
I do kinda want to record demo versions of two songs for the covers project (probably "Hurt" and "Open Your Heart") -- so I can shop them to labels. I mainly want a label for this project because I'm sooo not looking forward to handling all the licensing for 13-16 songs on my own. I hope to have the demos done in a month or so, and then maybe wait until I hear back from someone before I work too much more on the project. It'll be a guaranteed good seller but still definitely my own interpretations.
