Watch TV or Maybe Listen to Some Husker Du

Good lord I'm a poor blogger, haven't updated since the first of the month, GASP!

So The Ergs! are breaking up, that's a damn shame right there, even if you listen to their music and don't enjoy it you have to admit dorkrockcorkrod is the best album title ever!

So I've been working on this new HP2 song for about two weeks now, which is usually a terrible sign... From what I've come to understand that is usual with most song writers, but I found that with me at least once I work on something for over three days that's when I start to over think and the song goes down the suck drain.  I really like the concept of the song, it's about things that really shouldn't make you happy yet they do (based on a Tara poem), like the comforting skip on your favorite record, you know it's coming and while it should annoy you but you've come to accept it not only as part of the album but it's own unique and wonderful part of the experience.  Every time I hear that skip I smile.  Other examples include run on sentences. 

But yeah, it's a pain in the butt to write and I'm about to give up on it, it sounds like a Loved Ones song and we're not from Jersey so I don't think we can pull it off.  

(FUN NOTE FOR READERS: as I made the Jersey comment Springsteen came on the iTunes, IRONY MUCH!)

Dave
