Great practice last night, all of us were there, and we were firing on all cylinders. Except for me. We started playing Francis, and like 4 times, I started it wrong. The notes were correct, but I was playing it half time of what it should have been. Lots of looks going my way at that point. Duh.
Work is progressing on two (maybe three) new songs. There's Fearless, which is arranged and done, just lacking verse vocals. Then there's "Classic Squeaky Song," which sounds like, well, a classic Squeaky song. Mostly because of Steven and I both using our old E flat B flat G tunings. While mush-mouthing sound-lyrics, I think I blurted out "frozen margarita" a few times. Not sure what's up with that. We also improvised a song that started with this weird pulsing organ (heh heh) thing, which also turned into a "song" with "parts." We'll see what happens with that. It sounds pretty cool.
We didn't talk about the greatest American rock band issue much last night, except to say that it probably wasn't Minor Threat. And we did listen to a few tracks from the new Van Halen album, which was released on International Ray Valla Day, Feb. 7. I really miss Michael Anthony's vocals on the songs I heard—triple-tracked Dave is a little tedious.
