What Song Are You Playing (Trying to) Right Now?

[matthewdaves187]

Me? I'm playing the Youngbloods' "Get Together" man that is a good song. I heard in on the radio the other day and just had to give it a go.

Enough about me, what are you playing (or trying to play) right now?

Well, just a few minutes ago I was playing these 4 songs:

Help Myself
My new instrumental (not finished yet, but almost)
Un-named new song based off a very old tune of mine, Veil of the Night.
Scarborough Fair/Canticle

[Socks]

That fast synth part from MGMT - Kids

I'm in the early stages of writing a jazz, semi-instrumental christmas EP. I'm trying to narrow down a track-listing and begin arranging a couple of christmas standards myself. I'm gonna be playing all instruments so, that's what I'll be working on for the next few months.

I'm at work right now, but I've been on a Mountain Goats kick lately, so I was playing through a bunch of their/his stuff last night.

Oh no -- just using a capo on a 6 string. It sounds OK, but I'd love to play it on a 12er.

If I lived a long time ago

I would ask Einstein if I could taser him in the brain with a low frequency taser explaining to him beforehand that this would be a controlled experiment and I am attempting to discover if small doses of electricity will make him say brilliant things, sounding much like Jeff Coffin playing whatever futuristic instrument it is that he plays

Perhaps the the electric waves eminating from Futureman is the reason why the Flecktones sound like they do

Religious babble
I have never met anyone who did not believe in God in some way, even agnostics, atheists, religious, etc.
In my opinion it's all in people interpreting all the religions of all the lands of all the time
there are stories, and religious stories, hopefully created or written to inspire and explain and teach
I think that we are all sons of daughters of God or god, whatever you prefer in some way
your God or god(s) can be anything you believe in , the universe, water, doctrine, people, electricity
To relate to God (god) is understanding that there is something that connects us, much like magnetism or electricity, it can be larger or smaller than us

I attempted parts of the Maker last night, mostly the end and have difficulty focusing on any song for its duration
I attempt to manipulate time signatures in songs and go into many songs, whatever pops into my head

When I play, I get the most satisfaction doing this - taking a song, and including other songs into that song
In the Maker I included various old gospel and traditional songs, then grey street (minor key), then born in the usa, and others in various orders

[8nalive]

Einstein achieved his greatest breakthroughs when he knew little, and broke more rules

He was greater than the numbers, and if I was highly intelligent I would study science, mostly magnetism as I can most closely relate to how opposites attract

I wish Einstein was a musician

[8nalive]

Do you ever think people are other people and then think you're crazy

[8nalive]

I am Catholic, however, and I don't think my opinion matters

Bartender, We Three Kings, and Little Drummer Boy work together well
