I was reading on another Memphian’s blog the other day (whose address I can’t really remember right now) a list of cardinal rules when blogging. It was a long list lying heavily on DONT BE AFRAID WHAT YOU WRITE. That’s fine unless you take into account that I, and most people have broken rule #5 or #7 (can’t remember which) that involves not telling friends, family, or coworkers that it even exists. Well, in a pretty little world I would have the freedom to write about all the shit I instead am forced to censor a bit. But for example, another rule mentioned “If you’re not writing about love, sex, and politics at least once a week, then you’re doing something wrong.” Now, that may be true, but let’s be honest… this isn’t the venue for me talking about love or sex. For politics, see the previous post.

That said, I’ve been wondering what personal touch I could bring in here that wouldn’t a) get me fired or b) make me flat out embarassed. So, I’ve formulated a plan.

You might or might not know that I’m in the beginning stages of having a band for the first time since I’ve lived in this pretty little city. Yep, that’s right. I have one practice behind me and weekly ones planned for the future. Part of the process of getting ready for our first scheduled show (details to come), I am recording demo versions of my songs that I’d like us to play. These are very rough renditions of tunes meant for a rock band behind them, so take it for what it’s worth. I plan to post them immediately after I record them to ensure freshness and keep me from wussing out. So, I’m proud (and flat out embarassed) to introduce #1 in the Demo Derby series…
