Roman Holiday is becoming a robo-band, at least partially.<\/p>\n
Yes, we’re acknowledging our shortcomings on certain songs and fortifying our performance with some backing tracks.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if I’m happy with the concept, because I feel like tracks are better as an all-or-nothing proposition. But I’m not sure what it’s going to mean or how it’s going to work for this band.<\/p>\n
I think (sub?)consciously I’m really frustrated with my current situation, because almost everything we do engenders some sort of negative reaction in my brain, usually leading me to shooting off a semi-pissy e-mail. I’m just now recognizing this, although it’s been going on for a long time. I don’t know why, because I do like these guys, and I like the songs we play, and I like playing bass and singing lead. I just have this weird chip on my shoulder about all of it. Maybe my previous blogs about being burned out were manifestations of these same feelings.<\/p>\n
I feel like a psycho, because it’s almost like I’m denying something just to deny it, but I like it, but when I think of doing anything else I hate those ideas even though they seem appealing, too.<\/p>\n
I think it’s just facing what change would mean: a lot more work.<\/p>\n
Which brings it back to the tracks – I think the fact that now I’m not allowed to mess up and come back around on the tracked tunes makes me realize I have homework to do so that doesn’t happen, and I guess I hate the fact I have homework.<\/p>\n
I’ve always thought I really had something to say as a songwriter or an artist, and as I get older, I just feel like I don’t, mostly because I don’t allow myself the luxury of concentrating on writing songs and creating stories or messages through music. Recently I’ve been more satisfied just parroting other crap and noodling around.<\/p>\n
I’m such a whiny titty baby.
