Before I begin my babble, I'd like to say that I don't post nearly frequently to deserve writing in stream of consciousness but I don't care. Tonight, I felt like sharing some of my thoughts with you and so here I go. Lately, I've been very obsessed with the idea that the left and right hemispheres of my brain are battling it out for control. Because we've been entrenched in writing mode the last month and my creative spurts are ongoing, I am constantly shifting between new creation and post analysis. It is a jubilant and tortured existence because given any length of time with my left brain, I can talk my right brain out of any new idea I'm working on. So my new strategy is to get the idea, document it, and leave it alone for a few days and then come back to it. It seems that locking myself up in my room with the guitar 24/7 doesn't amount to better songwriting but rather obsessive behaviour and also this rant about my two brain sides trying to have it out.
All of us are pretty excited about getting into the studio. It's sort of like Christmas mixed with Finals Week in school if that makes any sense. I'll post more about the details of our upcoming recording session soon. For now, just know that your good friends here at the LLF camp are in la la creative land putting together the songs that will soon be shared with the whole world.
Before recording excitement though, yay!! that we're playing with Mates of State in San Francisco soon and touring again soon too!! We got new tires and the van all spiffed up and ready to go. Sweet.
