from september 29th to october 7th, 2008, via the use of many unemployed hours, and the combination of an unclaimed magnus chord organ and an unclaimed bedroom, both in the house whose couch i sleep upon, i recorded a new cover song every day. they are here presented in chronological order to represent those 9 ridiculous days. the idea was to record one a day for thirty days, but on the 10th day, drained of all creativity, imagination, and interesting ideas, i drank a bottle of wine whilst stumbling through an uninspired rendition of At Night's "Catch The Moon" in the bathroom and realized the recording was a mess, and an obvious indication that i could no longer force myself into such prolific production. well, i could, but it would stop being good.

so i took a break, focused on writing, played a few shows, and a couple months later started working on "don't let me down". that one took me a lot more than a day--i couldn't figure out how the 5/4 part in the bridge came in/went out for weeks. i was making it a lot more complicated than it had to be, but it took the musical competency of my dad to help me see that. seriously, the guy's a pro.

i think it was (is) a good project, and i've learned a lot. it is beneficial to force yourself to work even when you're not feeling "inspired", but only to a point. when you pass that point, you make crap. also: i work well in one day increments.

i'm going to continue to do covers, and have already started working on volume two, but i also need to record/finish writing the next record of original sarcastic dharma society stuff, and i want to do some recording/production for some other people, and i want to get a live band together, so we'll see about all that.

much love,

Le chausseur rend hommage à l’égérie de cette 65ème édition du Festival de Cannes en imaginant un soulier étincelant. Louis Vuitton Robe fourreaux, rivières de diamants, fourrures… le Festival de Cannes fait revivre chaque année le mythe du glamour hollywoodien, porté par l’aura d’icônes éternelles comme Marilyn Monroe, égérie de cette 65ème édition. Un hommage qui a inspiré le chausseur britannique Rupert Sanderson, puisqu’il a imaginé une sandale à plateforme rendant hommage l’actrice. Louis Vuitton Orné d’une bouche pulpeuse en strass Swarovski, ce soulier se teinte de noir et rouge parsemés de cristaux pour un style très red carpet. L’escarpin Marilyn est disponible sur commande spéciale.
