band practice is fun

band practice is fun! Here is the list of songs we've covered.

First, songs we played at that one show:

Light Bulb
When I Go
The Eldest
Teenage Mutation
Freedom is a Buzzword

Then these:

El Paso
Big Arms
Tourist Town (which I thought sounded killer, but maybe just because I raised the melody an octave and am screaming my lungs out now like The Strokes guy)

So that's fun.

I recorded this Bon Iver/DM Stith rip-off intro song for my never to be completed Dirges album. It's called Ballard-Sunder and the lyrics go thus:

Ooooooooooooooh.

I am alone in the funeral home
All of the other good daughters and sons have gone home

And then the next song will be Baby Doll, which needs more words.

And I want to write a song about Rachel singing like an angel. A John Prine folky thing. Like the Filthy Pits storytelling but with less nonsense.

The tables were crowded and the bar was all full
Went to hear Rachel singing like an angel
And something something....
