Man I wish I had even basic stuff to actually record and properly mix my own music. Jealous, to say the least.

No mic on your computer? And don't I remember something you put up a while back that had a Running to Stand Still interpolation?

Ah yeah, I do have an mp3 player with a decent mic. but it's not amazing for good quality stuff. This laptop's mic is terrible lol. The mp3 player has a strange habit of recording a really low-level repetitive clicking which sometimes can be heard over stuff when I'm playing, but it's not too bad.

To be honest, I'm kinda pissing into the wind in so far as I don't really have time to do anything more than record acoustic covers on mp3 players, and I struggle to throw together my own work because I take so long writing anything. That and I really could do with being in a bit to fully realise my ideas, but then I also want to have top quality in order to further realise it (as I'm sure we all do) - I'm a pedantic perfectionist at heart, whilst equally realising that perfection is impossible to achieve lol. It's a Catch-22 with me

Bit of shameless self-promotion, I've thrown a couple more things up in the last few months, mainly covers and whatnot if any of you guys are interested - http://soundcloud.com/hjwoj. I realised that stuff like Sunset Run and Change The World, I wrote pretty much a year and some ago, and still am not much further on with them than I was at the time lol. But hey ho.

Change the World, that was the one. Still have that on my iTunes I believe

my first fan. Possibly last too

the version on SoundCloud is a more mellow version 'cause I recorded it at about 11pm and everyone else was in bed lol, but it worked in my view. I have to say I am proud of that, but partly 'cause it's some achievement for me to have actually put together a cohesive song of any note. I've got a whole folder on here full of titbits, lyrics and whatnot but rarely can get more than a single functioning verse out at a time. I put it down to artistic constraints and restrictions being imposed upon me - give me license to unleash myself and the world won't know what's hit it.

Crazy funny day in school today actually, I haven't laughed that much in a long time. Probably has something to do with me being so tired.

I also came up with a cool acoustic thing yesterday

EDIT: Just remembered it was on the electric guitar
