So I got back to my music last night, after a frustrating period of inactivity (well - not entirely frustrating. Thanks to the nice weather I have many more bike rides under my belt).
I worked on a new idea, revisited an old one, and tinkered around with a couple of fairly recent ones.
They all sounded shit.
This is a good thing, since it serves to compel me to make them stop sounding shit. Also since it makes me less precious about all the work I have in progress. Perhaps a few weeks away from the stuff hasn't been a bad thing, but it feels imperative to regain a sense of compulsion (which happens to consist of a large amount of enjoyment) and push the whole thing forward again with the kind of momentum I was previously feeling.
I may have a couple of gigs coming up in the near future - nothing definite yet, but confirmation would certainly up the ante.
Tomorrow I exercise my democratic right, for what it's worth: local elections.
I hope the weather is good. Somehow it feels right to go along and vote on a beautiful, sunny Thursday evening. Voting is one of those few things which makes me feel like a grown-up. I wonder if this is true for anyone else who I see when I go to vote. I like the sense of purpose I have when I stroll down to the polling station.
I'll let you know if I spoil the ballot paper or write none of the above across it.
One post I never wrote last year was to mention my favourite lp of 2010. This just occurred to me as I was listening to it a little earlier. It's called Latin, and is by Holy Fuck.
It's one of those few lps which can make me feel like shouting COME ONNNNNNNN and dance and jump about and whatever else, which is no mean feat.
Oh and I will visit other blogs soon, I promise.

Well, what I say about shit, better out than in.
Good point. Plus, at least it's shit to deal with, as opposed to having to fashion things entirely from scratch.
