Too Much
How NOT to deal with a list that has too much on it. A sordid tale of an experiment on an Edisonian scale – I find another thing that doesn’t help.
CONTEXT
Ruts, stuckness, colored light bulbs, and possibly a bout of serious laziness.
In-between part 2
Yes, there’s a part 1.
Typing
Well, that could be an odd title. Perhaps it is a patently self-obvious one. Regardless, it was typed – often poorly. Perhaps I should start a GoFundMe to get this typewriter refurbished… it will take me some time to save up enough nickels for the $900 refurbishment. Naaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh………..
In-Between
Part one, although I didn’t know that as I typed it. Come to think of it, I’m typing this in-between me typing the original and you reading this. Hmmmmmm……
What?
The various meanings of “What?”…. and maybe a passing reference to the word “umpteen”.
Of Cats and Chipmunks
Yes, this really did happen. Yes, I’m STILL wondering why I didn’t jump 15 feet in the air. The “yip” I left out was decidedly unimpressive.
Of Socks and Convertibles
Yes, it really is this scary inside my head.
Stuck
Uh Oh…. the album project has come to an impasse. What to do? Tune in next time, when Tom will probably type about something else because that’s what is in the queue……
Tech
The Porch beckons, along with some new tech that I’ve been holding off getting…..
Space
The James Webb telescope, airconditioning, cell phones, cars, milk, the internet, health care, and a fight in third grade about the Apollo Saturn 5 rocket… all tied together by The Typewriter.
Consistency is NOT My Middle Name
Marketing, consistency, it that always a good thing?, plus tweets that are longer lasting than my deodorant.
Railroad Tracks
Life is – decidedly NOT like a box of chocolates, except on rare occasions. It’s like…. oh, read the thing to see what I’m thinking.
Simple?
The balance between choices and simple is…. not so simple.
I **STILL** Have No Idea
Why create an album> Whence comes the drive, the necessity? … and even more probably unanswerable questions. Then there’s my shoelaces….
Covid and Flu and ….
Connections noted between Covid and Flu by a decidedly NON-historian, NON-medical person, and ponderer of oddball tidbits.
Meetings and Schedules
Some info about recording “The Meeting” – the next being recorded for Tom’s next album The Week Begins. Some pix will be available over at tomrule.info – take a look at the righthand side.
Alert the media [ or not ]
Some new posts are in the hopper – ready to post on the 7s [i.e. the 14th, 28th, etc.] Alert the media, if you are so inclined. Meanwhile, would you do me a favor and give an opinion on how to describe what I do? It’s anonymous, unless you don’t want it to be. Click […]
A Favor, Please
I have a LOT of trouble describing what I create. You could probably have a field day figuring out why….. but for now, I need some help. https://bit.ly/TomsMusicDescription
Process Part 2
More pondering about how I go about creating music in the studio, and how it relates to these artisanal missives cranked out on a vintage typewriter. I don’t know why I’m writing about this – perhaps it is because I’m still figuring it out, even after all of these years.
