Thought loops and meeting with Rob.

I had a really hard time falling to sleep last night. As have I the passed few nights. I really don’t know what that is about. Maybe late coffee drinking or maybe I’m not just that tired.

Last night I fell into a thought loop. I do that sometimes when I can’t sleep, or more; when I’m right in the middle of being awake and sleeping. A stage where I can’t really control my train of thought but I know I’m not sleeping since I have some sense of aware perception left, or ongoing.

These thought loops are no fun. I always try to get out of them but never succeed (until I truly fall asleep).

Last nights thought loop was the Vampire Weekend song A-Punk. More specifically the chorus/bridge part of the song, both vocals and images. (You can find the whole thing here.) I had watched a re-run of MTV2UKs year end review show where that song, that group or that video picked up some kind of award.
Thoroughly disturbing! Not that it’s a bad song or video or anything, just hate those thought loops.

So Rob was here last night and we talked about a lot of things after I had demoed some cool sounds and Spotify (which if you haven’t got yet, get it, it’s the future). 
Here’s some of the stuff we talked about (and some conclusions we came to):

  1.  Next single will be picked by you. So vote on the voting thing above!
  2. It will be released on march 1:st and we hope that we also can release the album ‘The Anger’ worldwide on that date as well.
  3. A, as of now, secret agreement. (Not meaning to keep anything from you but this one involves third party and I really don’t think that the third party is up to speed… nor are we fully. It’s a fun one I think so hang on for that.)

After that I played Rob the songs for the new record and we both said that it is an ok-go! We can start recording now and so we will. I’ll keep you posted on that.

Rob also brought me some really cool stuff. Stuff which completes my little home recording set up. 
First of all I got The Arturia V Collection (a collection of sofware synths) and I got two mics, two GA R1 MK2 (go: products, ribbon mic, R1 MK II). So now I’m all set. I have no excuses as to not record at home.

I think that’s about it for now. 
Ok?
Ok!
