I've got a new First Regrets song to share with all of you, called "JB's Unfulfilling Life," and it features my good friend Greg Englar on guitar. He takes a very nice solo at the end of the piece, and it makes up for my singing - I admit, this is one of my worst singing jobs on the new record and I'm either going to redo it, outsource it, or both. But Greg is really great and makes it worth a listen.
I've also updated the music samples on the left side of the home screen to be more efficient. I know they don't say the song names anymore, but if you hold your mouse over the play button it will tell you the song name.
I'm glad to get this out before the 10-year anniversary of 9-11, because on that day it would probably be inappropriate to self-promote.
Check out this great video my friend Greg made for me! He's teaching himself hand-held video recording and editing techniques for his job, and I'm one of his first test subjects. It came out pretty good I have to say. I look like a real, honest to goodness musician! Weird, huh?
You'll have to forgive my not having posted in a while. I've been going through some emotional anxiety, and while that hasn't stopped me from posting in the past it certainly was now. But I'll try to do better to my few readers and post some new writing, and perhaps one of those music reviews I promised all those eons ago. Or, who knows? Maybe I'll have news about ESL jobs in Turkey (I have my first interview on Monday - wish me luck!). Or maybe I can brag about winning the Bellevue Literary Review's annual contest (I doubt it, but who knows?). Or maybe I'll post some cool stuff about the wonderful stuff Owl Eyes is up to for the time I'm here in New York City.
But one thing's for sure: if I go this long without posting again, you all have permission to yell at me and call me names, then paint me while I sleep. Huzzah!
