pleased precariously

so, I wrote my first song yesterday.. music, lyrics, etc. Unfortunately my current recording setup leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t think I really want anyone to hear the lyrics anyway as they’re stupid, melodramatic, self-indulgent crap, so I can be thankful I don’t have a working mic. And for some reason whenever I stick the pickup on my guitar and sit down in front of my mac, my fingers fumble, i lose all sense of rhythm, and things come out sounding like this.

bleah.

an experiment with acoustic distortion.

got my cheapo acoustic pick up ($25) the other day, and figured i’d try recording something without using a mic.

bruised.mp3 just sorta came out. it’s rough and there are lots of screwups. I’ll probably spend some time fleshing this one out, I like the way it sounds.
