Yesterday started with a bang because Joey found a violin. It only had three strings. (violins normally have four?) None of us know how to play, but we never let things like lack of skill prevent us from doing things that are awesome. Things like forcing poor violins to make beautiful awful sounds.
We also took some time to make some structural choices regarding the Wurlitzer-based song we started on Monday. It is useful, I have found, to decide which chord progressions will comprise the verses and choruses (and pre-choruses!) in order to facilitate the writing of lyrics.
But we also had to take a lunch break, and after lunch we were sleepy. Jonathan and I took refuge in our laptops:
Joe was working on music, apparently, whilst we basked in the screen glow.
I ran off to live room B to work on lyrics for the aforementioned Wurly tune provisionally titled "Slinkitzer." Jonathan usually gets to pick the working titles for the songs, which seems only fair, because the final names almost always come from the lyrics that Joe and I write. This way Jonathan gets some naming glory, but we also have to call the songs things like "Slinkitzer" (or "Slinkitizer," or "Slinksville") until we come up with the titles.
When I returned to the control room, Joe was ready to enlist all of us in vocals for the number he'd been working on. Even Jonathan sang!
Thus concludes the day four recap. Today I have made a list of everything we need to do in the next week and a half, and it is terrifying. So back to work I go.
