I've been working on a cover of Dream Theater's "War Inside My Head" lately and it's moving pretty quickly. (Maybe that's because I'm doing it partially by request?) I'd say it's about 2/3 done. I recorded guitars yesterday, vocals this morning before work(!) and did overdubs on both this evening. All that's left to do before mixdown is to finish the drum track (just need to add some of the fills and such) and put down a bass part, which will be easier because I have my keyboard now. I'm hoping to have this song done by the weekend.

That's not all I've been doing...! After I finished touching up the guitar parts for WIMH, I laid down a bunch of riffs for Jeff to use in his techno stuff, and then I took a stab at this month's CJ monthly jam. I call this month's take "Stuck Mojo" because I was really having a tough time with this one. The takes where I thought my feel and phrasing were best were turning out sloppy, and the clean takes were bland. Finally, I just went all-out and ended up with a take that isn't anywhere near perfect technically, but feels great to me. Nerd note: I pulled out my old Boss octave pedal for this one...I bought that thing probably two years ago and this was the most I've ever used it. I've been meaning to sell it, actually...maybe I'll keep it around now. I was digging it.

Aside from that, I've done my first site update in a month tonight. I guess I'll have to do another one when I'm through with WIMH. Oh, the shame!
