I got about 75% of the way thru my recording of Rory Dodd's A Kiss is a Terrible Thing To Waste for Merciless Nite.

I meant it to be, like, "classical" in its arrangements and sound. but now that I think about it perhaps it is a little country, or organic or something.

I freaked and stopped trying on it because the piano part is so terrible. It was the very first thing I recorded with the recording equipment and everything that I got for merciless nite 2, and i didn't play it very well, and I double tracked it and it turned out pretty bad. The arrangement and everything else is pretty darn good tho.

So the moral is I should finish it!! I am hell busy at the moment, but would love to redo the piano, and then have an excuse to pull out my microphone again. Rory Dodd is more my "thing" than Rob Evan / Meat Loaf -- as is probably bleedingly obvious from my PIG on Merciless Nite 2 -- so hopefully it goes OK.

Part of me desperately wanted to finish it because I thought I was on something kinda nice. Maybe now that I've spoken about it it'll be stimulus to finish the damn thing.
