Love is our Resistance

I'm really debating on closing my old blog and just focusing on this one. It's good to go back to the old one, but lately it seems as though the heavy vibes are getting to me. Who knows, I guess it's the different phases of your life transferring into your creative stream. Sometimes you feel so connected to ideas and other days, you couldn't be further removed - if you know what I mean.

Anyways, the upcoming Podcast seems to be working out quite well. I basically woke up on Saturday and started working on it until about noon. The tracks are organized and recorded. However, I ended up getting a bit distracted and started working on some drum loops and eventually a melody / guitar part that sounded promising. I just need to find the time to refine the song and start actually writing something for it.

Yesterday I finally got around to watching 500 Days of Summer starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and my all-time favourite Zooey Deschanel. The movie was amazing and I ended up connecting with it with a strange verve. I don't know how to explain it, but I was able to relate with the characters in such a way that the movie made me extremely elated, angry and sad all at the same time. I still don't know what to make of it today, but one thing I do know is that you should see it.

Taking inspiration from that film and its soundtrack, I think the next episode will involve something along the lines of relationships (unless I can come up with a better idea) - the highs and lows of love.

That's all for now, time to get energized for Muse tonight.

Currently Listening to: Conditions - The Temper Trap

April's Theme

The theme that I have chosen for April is: The 80's. I figure that for my inaugural episode, I would go all out! I have mentally chosen a bunch of songs from this era and figured that I might have a two-part series on my hands. I guess we will see what happens...

Currently Listening to: Dead Souls - Joy Division

Welcome to My Music Memoirs

This is the first step towards creating my own personal music journal. My intention with this project is to create monthly themes where I can document some of my favourite songs in a podcast format. Each theme will involve a bit of storytelling between the songs and ultimately give you some insight as to how these songs made the cut. I would love to keep the format fresh with each one hour (give or take) episode; so from time to time, I will call upon my hopeful audience to contribute themes to my show.

I am very excited about this project, so hopefully my disc jockey skills and ramblings provide you with some sort of entertainment. I will keep you posted with my progress, so please stay tuned.
