1/8

(Very brief; I wasn’t nothing things down during the day, so I’ve forgotten small/in-between stuff.)

Up about 8. Coffee, breakfast. Caught up in poetry notebook (3 p.)

Worked on ‘Chunk track - recorded 3 takes around 11:30, then spent 2-3 hours editing/comping. Added a celeste part. Took a break, then made v. rough mixes (w/ a couple steps I had to look up/learn from videos; not too hard). Got feedback from Mac - generally pleased (“this is fucking majestic”), a couple of notes for simplifying the first 1/2 of the song, which makes sense. Can do that this weekend. This was basically my day until 5.

Recorded/assembled radio show about 7-10, got to about 1:40. Seems like a bit of a trudge this week - partly b/c I’m entering the online playlist as I go (in batches, not after each song, but not entirely after the fact either). Took out trash around 10, short walk, did crossword. Chain in toilet came loose, had to open the tank. Not a big deal, but annoying - Bree’s better at fixing this than me. Lights out 11.

Hard to get in writing or even reading w/ these other projects. But at least I’m not doomscrolling or watching cooking videos all day.
