My (awesomestest) new band
OK, after three days in a row when absolutely no one has even taken a look at my blog, I have to do something, even though I didn't intend to. I am overcrowded with various homeworks, labworks and all the other shit I have to do or else I will get my head cheerfully chopped off my shoulders and I was thinking of taking a little break from blogging, but I can't bear to look at the stats of my blog tumbling down.
First and foremost, yay for me and for my new band. I can already tell that the band is the most awesomestest band I have ever been a part of even if I have yet to play with them in a rehersal. The dudes are very fun to be with, very friendly, very approachable and outright great. I don't know how all the music playing, rehersing and creating stuff will go, but I am sure it will be great as well. At least they seem to be quite good musicians from what I've heard.
This kind of brings up problem that arises every time when I join a band - what should I do with the material of my old, already dissolved band? I have weighed various options for a long time, but haven't found a solution. On one hand, the material is great, the music is awesome, the lyrics are meaningful and it would be a pity if all of it simply disappeared. On the other hand, it is very, VERY difficult to get my previous band mates together for a reunion and recording the damn thing for real and for good. I want to do it badly, but they are simply unenthusiastic about it. This gives me another choice though - claiming the rights for all the songs and give them all to my new band, leaving the old bandmates credited for their input in small letters in the CD sleeve. Of course, I can be nice and only claim the songs where I had the most input (that would leave six songs out of twelve)... I simply don't know.
Of course, sooner or later we will have new material with the new band and maybe it won't be a problem at all, because I will forget the old band, but I think it's more likely I will still want to publish the songs... And I'm actually hoping for surprise reunion next year or the year after that.
And now I go fuck with labworks again.
RIGHT NOW: Fucking with labworks, d'uh.
