FREEDOM ROCK / SP ALBUM UPDATE
“I’m about to lose what’s left of my mind…” So, where do I begin? Idea was to dive into vocals-lyrics-harmonies, easy as you pleas-y. But… Well, hold up, we finished one (ANTI-HERO), the accursed ANAISE next. I say accursed because it’s a fitful tiger, that. And my psyche bears the scars of a day’s worth of twisting the changes around, only to end up back to where we started. Why, some would ask? Well… The song is in E minor. And yours truly wrote a chorus figure that repeate


KISS THIS / SP ALBUM UPDATE
Thrilled to report that we now have our album in total, as top songs are arranged and set for drum tracking. So over the next 3 days I’ll be focusing on vocal arrangements, lyrics, and tweaking the overall aesthetics of the record as I hope it shall be. At least then I’ll be able to share a different narrative for a spell, and get off this merry-go-round we’ve all been on. That said, unless I manage to write another corker in the next month, here lies the tracklisting for ‘MO


MORE ON ‘AEGEA’
With gatefold cover art being submitted today, we’ve been informed that lead time on a shipment is 6 weeks. So expect pre-orders to begin on ‘AEGEA’ in approximately 3 weeks. In addition, and in coordination with the record’s street release, there will be an event at Madame Zuzu’s Teahouse; featuring both a listening party and a live performance by WPC (that will offer different impressions on ‘AEGEA’ as a work). No details are as yet given whether the show and release party


STEP IT UP / SP ALBUM UPDATE
More ANAISE to start, but this round with the so-so bridge/chorus moved to solo status (thus voiding the so-so melody and turning the change to something epicurious). Also altered elegiac end so that it had less resemblance to adapted ‘SFAS’ bit; and I was happy (for once). Amazing. Forging ahead, we tackled other said titles. What were they, you ask? I can’t remember. Ended on DRUM AND FIRE; I do recall that. And that is a rocking now with ambrosia-foiled tom-toms (In a big
MAGIC POWER / SP ALBUM UPDATE
ANAISE. ANAISE. ANAISE. All we worked on today was ANAISE. Focus was improving the song quotient of what is already an exciting piece. As in: shorten intro, build a better bridge, write a back chorus, tossing out the former middle 8 and inventing a new one; which also meant testing different keys to go to. From A minor to E, or D, or stay on C, or G (which was the key I was coming out of). D won! Being tired, I was ready to go home but instead decided to stay and write a lang

IT A’ING GOT THAT THING IF IT A’INT GOT THAT SCHTING / SP ALBUM UPDATE
A long day for yours truly, being that I was up quite early to make my way downtown for interviews. And I’m grateful for those opportunities, so no complaining here. As a hometown Chicago has been generous to me, but never to a fault. As is our way. Then a business meeting, then getting The Shredder lost as last night I managed to give myself a concussion (don’t ask) and was still a bit loopy. With a PAWS event looming at Zuzu’s I knew our session would be curtailed, and the
