Ok, so here's the deal, boggerites. You may have noticed by now, that I love setting goals I can't complete and starting projects I will inevitably fail, SO I'M BOUT TO DO ANOTHER ONE.
Um, I sort of accidentally wrote this song about zombies from the perspective of a zombie very briefly before I realized zombies were becoming the new big thing. Then all of a sudden, two years later I hear people covering this other song (none of whom actually said it was a cover) written from the perspective of a zombie that it turns out was written a year before I wrote mine, by a guy who's considerably more famous, making me feel completely unoriginal.
So I look up this Jonathan Coulton guy to see what his deal is and I find out his music is pretty decent and he did this songwriting project called "Thing a Week" where he started in September or something and wrote/arranged a song every week for 52 weeks.
I figured since A. Now that I know who he is and we've both written songs from the perspective of zombies, came first, and we both write not-completely-serious songs, I'm bound to look like I'm copying him to someone anyway. B. I've been "writing" songs for 3 years and I've only completed 9 (although I've arranged at least twice that many) and C. I need to get in the swing of writing more, I'd do it too.
And since my personal New Year starts Friday, I'm going to start then. Hopefully I'll have a mic by then.
Turns out blogger won't let me upload audio, but tumblr will. I just don't want to use tumblr because you can't comment on tumblr blogs. I'm gonna check wordpress and see if they'll let me do the audio deal. then we'll see where to go from there
-I swear I'll finish that stupid potato man story before the end of the month.
