But I do really miss the animated emoticons :(

anyway, some new news coming down the pipeline... 1) the new recording software (actually purchased! woot!) is working fabulously, as expected, but the wires for my microphone are not. this will not do. so, just a little waiting longer and i'll have that cover of "Something In The Way" I've been ranting about for six months. oh, right, 2) cover versions of Nirvana's "Something In The Way" "It's So Hard To Fall In Love" by Sebadoh, and of course the standard "Without You" originally by Badfinger, all in the works. I may even record my weird, depressing acoustic instrumental guitar version of "For Those About Rock" just because I feel like it. And then, of course, 3) my own upcoming NEW BATCH of songs, which all told, if they all go on one album, there'll be 18 new songs of mine for everybody to hear and hate. It'll be awesome.
