Putting a band together.

I’ve gone back and fourth over ideas on my new, my next, record. I’ve presented idea after idea for Rob, changing the concept, the thinking, the mode and mood. We even started to record the album. We did one song called One Fear but that recording has since been put in the trash.

This has got to change, and since I now am back to square on, back to my first idea, I will present it to you.

I am as of tonight trying to put a band together, find some rehearsal space and some time to rehears. When we have rehearsed for a while we are going to record, with Rob, somewhere. I’ve asked a few of my friends, and will probably ask a few more, to join me. I have gotten one yes so far, from the superb Thomas Brandt.

I’m thinking it will be a pretty straight forward Rock-Band record… which off course it will not.

Spring in Göteborg, spring in my mind.

Info…? Part 2.

So, now I’ve gotten a text from Rob. Are there any news, any info? No. The guy he had to get a hold of today in order to learn something didn’t want to be gotten hold of… kind of. If I got it right, the guy did not answer his phone, or was out, or both, or something.

Don’t you just love these ramblings of mine?

No?

You must admit that this had turned into quite the exciting series?

No?

Ok.

Struggeling and Thrash and no info.

I am really struggeling with this thesis of mine and today I uttered the forbidden words to Camilla “I am afraid that I will not finish my thesis in time for hand in…”

I still hope that I will be finished. There’s a good possibility that I will be finished. I said it just to get it out there and to give myself a kick in the ass. Still… I said it.

I’ve been working on it most of today, as most of any day. I have the greater scheme of it structured in my head and what I am doing now is filling in the blanks. Sounds pretty straight forward and easy but it is not.

On a completely other topic:
If you have some time over and want to here some good old thrash music in Swedish you ought to pop on over to my good friends in Zombiekrig’s MySpace. Two songs saw the light of day (or perhaps the dark of night) yesterday (or night) and an EP is on it’s way. Enjoy.

On yet another topic (the differnece between this one and the previous being minor in comparison to between the first and second one where the difference was major… and no music word pun intended).
I have not heard back from Rob yet about the text he sent me Yesterday. So I have not got any news or info there… (could just as easily have shut up, or not written that, couldn’t I?)

Back to the books!
