I figured I'd take a step back from my somewhat political rant last time and focus on more music-related stuff this time around!
Work on the new album is still going smoothly. I'm trying to take my time with it, which brings its own annoyances, mainly because I'm really impatient, and I'm really excited about the new album. I think it's going to be good.
After some (somewhat strange) insistence, I went ahead and made a Youtube video for "You Don't Know My Heart." It is nothing fancy -- just some various pictures made into a slideshow. But I guess it helps to get a more "official" video out there. Take a look:
I'm not sure if I've mentioned before or not, but I am a huge fan of the Thrilling Adventure Hour, an online program done in the style of old-time radio. It is really funny, the music is fantastic, and the actors involved are some of my favorites. I decided to invoke my inner nerd and do my own rendition of the Cactoid Jim theme. Cactoid Jim, King of the Martian Frontier, is a recurring character voiced by Nathan Fillion. I sent them my song, and they liked it! How about that?
I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do after the album is done. I've mentioned about working on a Christmas album, but what with my wife and I expecting a baby this winter, I'm thinking shutting myself away for hours on end to record would just be kind of unrealistic. I've got some ideas swirling around for at least two musicals, as well as ideas for my own radio-themed comedy show -- those ideas involve more writing than recording, so it might work out easier to squeeze in while raising a baby.
Who knows? The future is looking rather exciting.
Cheers,
Aaron
