As a shameless plug, please let me formally introduce SJ’s ‘Pretty Things’s section of the site. Below is from the gallery ‘Hi-N-Dry’. Check it out, if you please.630And in other news, Jackson and I had our first rehearsal last night for a new project that’s in the works. That’s right everyone, you read me right. We’re moving out of the studio and back onto the stage. More info as it comes along…

And rehearsing, by the way, is something I want to do more of. It’s on my ToDo list. If you picked up a thread of bitterness in the last post, your observation would be right. On my ToDo list is more practicing of bass, guitar, and drums. More working with ProTools to learn all the nooks and crannies. More ear training with Golden Ears. More buying of quality mics and preamps. More writing and recording. More rehearsing. More cycling of new stuff onto the iPod, and more listening of new stuff. More seeing of live shows. And those are just the music related ToDo’s. I seemed destined to spend all of my time in front of a computer. I do so wish I could chuck them all out a window some days. And oh, how I do rue having an actual job and having bills to pay. Why can’t someone just pay my bills and work for me? And give me money to buy new equipment for the studio? WHY??

Oh, and does everyone know that the Police are reuniting for the Grammys on Feb. 11? Is it possible Sting is finally getting over himself? Let’s all tune in to find out…
