Same As It Ever Was

It’s funny that I themed my wrap-up post from last year around Talking Heads’ hit, Once in a Lifetime, because as I look over my entries from last year, I keep hearing “same as it ever was, same as it ever was” repeating in my head. 

With several large projects behind me, I’m eager to write songs, but I’m also still avoiding talking about the things that bother me the most. It’s just not worth the vitriol if, God forbid, I say something that doesn’t regurgitate the current mob mentality, whichever mob that may happen to be. It’s exhausing tip-toeing around the various religions. And make no mistake, most of them are religions.

It might be an adventurous month as I explore new software and sound libraries. At the same time, my reluctance to speak about many topics may keep things more in the electronic / instrumental / ambient realm. Fair warning, I’ve been listening to a lot of Steve Roach and Oophoi lately.
