about a year ago today i was finishing the tracks for avalon with my buddy joe of exeter recordings(nj)-its birthday is today—crazy as hell–im gonna get a cake that looks like a fish— i haven’t been able to get down the shore as much as i would like to recently, but we’ve been working hard on writing the new circa survive songs. i feel as a whole and individuals we’ve hit a creative stride thats one of the most exciting and time consuming things to ride. people talk a lot about writers block, but when there are an abundance of ideas flowing all coming out together at the same time it can be just as hard to put in unison- its the distinction between having nothing to say, and having so much that its to overwhelming to speak at times-
not that im complaining, id way rather have to many song ideas than not enough, its just interesting how any blessing can be looked upon as a curse or vice versa. a couple of us started a yoga class this week, and although i would do lessons along with the comcast on demand yoga teacher, doing it with a real yogi there it was so much more challenging, felt great after wards. so much going on–i always like hearing what you have to say, so if there is anything in particular that you think would make a great subject for a song, or an album let us know. my dad always sends me text messages or emails with song ideas in them, sometimes they re really weird. he send things like” how did they sink the titanic!”– uhh i think it hit an iceberg, and who’s they???—but then i typed that into google and a whole bunch of interesting shit comes up about how they built the ship all half assed- great song idea daddy. i can smell spring comen round like a dirty street walker lookin for love. its my favorite time of year – its mating season – everyones hormones are alive and out of hibernation and there is so much to be inspired by – ” go your own way, make your own sound” reads a note i was giving in college from my pops–he just might be onto something i thought..
