So I just played at Valentine's Massacre over at TiON. I was really skeptical that the crowd would respond or even enjoy the kind of music I make. To add to that, I haven't been working on music for at least 3 weeks now, I've been way more inspired with writing. I wrote a book of poems for my wife and published a few copies of that. I got something published by Mothering Magazine...Hahahaha I know. Now I get to say that the first National magazine that did anything with my writing was "Mothering." So that's where my head's been at, I've turned down shows in March and I don't have any lined up after that.
Anyway, back to the Goth/Electro/Industrial show. I was surprised at how much the dark kids liked my set. I wasn't feeling it like usual though, and in the mix cut about 3 tracks out so I could be done in 40 minutes. I rolled out some oldies and ended the set with a trance track I wrote WAAAAAAAY back. So it was all good fun and I appreciate the gig but now it's back to sexy, quiet home production and poetry. I'll be working on music for Bumper Car City again without feeling obligated to a certain "type" of music fan.
In a strange twist of fate, I saw Raul and family at Ikea whilst looking for a rug to put in my new living room the day after the show at Tion. He's such a cool guy and it just feels good to be making music for his project. That's all I really want to do right now.
And I hear a friend was carried away in an ambulance. I hope he's okay.
