new song: no fireworks :::
I’m all about the challenges these days, what with the recent half marathon and now NaNoWriMo, so when I saw one of my favourite blogs, (ex-Sleater-Kinney guitarist/vocalist) Carrie Brownstein’s Monitor Mix, was encouraging everyone to celebrate home recording this weekend by writing and demoing a brand new song I was well up for it. It was a bit of a scramble around NaNo-ing and seeing some friends but I managed it and am really happy with the results:
No Fireworks – She Makes War by warriorgrrl
Of course, when I went to email the link to the track to the blog I saw I’d completely misremembered the words they asked everyone to slip in to the song. Instead of ‘firecracker’ I used ‘firework’ (possibly because I have never said the word ‘firecracker’ in my life) – what a wally.
My song might not meet the criteria for Monitor Mix but I think it will probably end up in the pile of songs to record in December for the album, so hurrah for challenges and thank you Carrie Brownstein for kicking off my last demoing session of 2009. I have a few half finished songs I might actually get around to finishing this week now.
