finally in the studio!
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008hello everyone!!
today was my first day in the studio to record my new album! i can’t believe after months and months of waiting it’s actually happening :) i’ll be in the studio monday through saturday during the month of november. i’m recording with producer rich jacques and i am very excited. today we had some fun with “stars falling down”. it’s pretty crazy… haha.
speaking of the album– i really really really would love your opinions. nowadays a standard album is 10-13 songs… which is not nearly enough. :( some of my songs, unfortunately, will not make the cut. so my question for all of you– what are the top 5 songs YOU would like on the album (not counting songs that are on any of my previous 3 cds)??
would it help if i listed some songs? here are some– but not all– of the possibilities, just to get your brain working. if you have a favorite that i didn’t list, please don’t hesitate to put it on your top 5! sometimes i forget about songs….
(in absolutely no order at all)
no matter
the goldfish song
cambridge
strong enough
together
delicate
stars falling down
back to us
heart and mind
goodnight
stay just a little
protect her
chasing you
these magnet hearts
make it go

please remember
a word of warning– since during the month of november i will be in the studio mon-sat from early until late oclock, and sundays will be spent training for the marathon, sleeping, and catching up on other normal life obligations (grocery shopping, saying hello to my parents, cleaning…) you might notice that i become a little more scatter-brained, a little less creative in the blogs, and a little less responsive to emails, comments, etc. it is not because i don’t care!! once the album is done i should become a little more human again. i promise to keep you all looped in on things and show you clips from time to time.
thank you all so much for your support of my marathon experience! you rock.
** don’t forget to check out david choi’s debut album! it’s just been released on itunes and you should definitely give it a listen, it’s great :) check out his myspace if you want a physical cd! http://www.myspace.com/davidchoimusic
ok… it’s time for me to sleep. i’ll twitter tomorrow to let you know what’s going on in the studio :)

oovret: Week 27
So, you’re willing to play a 26.2 song marathon to raise money for LLS?
aha… tricky… you know that’s not such a bad idea. it could be a 2.5 hour 26.2 song marathon for LLS on stickam… hmmm..
Did you turn into makizushi or nigirizushi?
nigirizushi! maguro (tuna)
What did you do with your “extra hour” this weekend?
attempted to catch up on sleep
Are you registered to vote? In LA or OC?
LA
Have you been playing your guitar everyday like you promised? You do need to start training for that song marathon, after all.
i… am a bad person. the marathon threw me off!! (excuses…)
