Actually, I just kept it to guitars and weird layered vocals.  And pulled an all-nighter to get it done.  :-(  No idea how I'm ever going to get up tomorrow.

In any event, my own mantra in such instances (of which there have been several), goes something along the lines of: 61-seconds of something will suffice.

Thanks Poppi.  Yeah, I'm at two minutes of "something will suffice"!  Just seem to be forcing myself to make something very unnatural for my mood tonight.  My friend (who's here at work mixing a TV show in the next room) just handed me his Korg Triton (legend!) so shits about to get crazy!  Gonner destroy this wankey tune even more-so with bell trees and synth strings.  Bring it on!  (maybe this will be a first world win after all)

Yes, we have some comradery based on the fact that some of us have stuck it out for the full 27 weeks thus far. Yes.. we make duds here. We arent getting paid to do this.. most of us arent doing this because it's our profession. We're doing it for fun, exercise, exploration and comradery.

SO back to talking of #firstworldwhinges - I'm totally uninspired right now.  Having picked up a guitar and realizing that I suck.  And I was way better 10 years ago :-(  I can't even play a simple f**king chord progression anymore without 100 takes!  It's almost midnight Sunday and I have nothing laid down.  So I have a choice to quit right now (yeah, right) or just drink a load of vodka so I can't drive home, not give a fuck, and lay down something super sloppy.  I really wanted to make something of this week but I don't know what the hell I'm doing right now.

It's stupid because I have a friend who's working weekends at a music school and they offered me the keys to the main grand piano rooms - so I had my choice between two Steinway's and four Yamaha grands today but instead I slept in, then went on a walk (wasn't feeling myself), then met up with friends at a cafe, then sat on the internet even though we're shaped to 64kbps,  and by then it was too late to take up on the offer.  And I had the car packed with sound module, studio XY mics and everything!!

Anyway.  That's my first world whinge.  I have no idea WTF I'm about to make.  But if I pull an all nighter I'm an idiot (seeing a 9am start at work tomorrow).  These kind of WB moments really suck.  Although I should be grateful that we get until 9am Monday morning in AU to finish out tracks... and appreciate all these opportunities I keep getting.  Yet waste.  Ahg fuck it.  </firstworldwhinge>

Got drunk with dot.AY at a BBQ at Derris-K's place.  He showed me how to use Ableton.  Then I made a weekly beat using it.

Yup.  Just had a failed upload.  Tried uploading and waited for 20 mins with no response... then when I went back and forward it was logged out and I couldn't log back in :-/  I've left the details in a thread in the main forums.

WTF??  I can't upload my fucking tune!!!  I'm at blip on a borrowed hot spot - it totally timed out and wouldn't let me log back in. :-(  I've missed a few acts at blip to get this tune done too.

Can we do something about this?

ps.  I'm on the same hotspot now and it works fine. ?? *sigh*

I just did 60 in a 40 zone by mistake and think I'll be getting a serious fine :-(  (camera flashed twice)  Also, was a hire car, and the sound system was woeful.
