KRock — it’s a good idea — despite the hippie overtones. My favorite part is the alcohol bit; it might get in the way of the deadline, motivation part, though. First meeting is at your house — drum room.

i’ve got a proposal for anyone interested. what say you we organize an informal songwriting workshop? the way i see it unfolding is something like this…people jazzed about writing songs (even if they’ve never actually written one) get together to discuss their ideas, get feedback from the rest of the group, approach the writing in stages, and ultimately end up with a song they play for the group (either live or recorded).

i did something like this before and it was helpful on a number of levels. i’m the type of person who works better when deadlines are involved, so having regular meetings provided that motivation. also, what better way to examine and discuss the craft of songwriting than by actually participating in it together? of course, copious amounts of alcohol would also have to be involved.

thoughts?

Oooh.

I sometimes write and co-write songs with my band Sister Kisser®™©™.

I Love, Love, Love this subject.

Dizz — it’s not a Stevie, but it will have to do. Jeff: I’m imagining that won’t last too long. Though, I hope to write more often than Cindy. KSH — I’m not sure I’ve seen that one — but this season’s Rock of Love sketch with Amy Poehler on one leg has been hard to shake.

Outdream is a helluva word And it provides insight into the work as a whole on this site. To describe the creative process in visceral and succinct but eloquent prose — that’s a dream outside the realm of possibility in most cases… but I think we all just got outdreamed on this posting.

On a different tangent, I can’t get the image of Maya Rudolph shouting on SNL the phrase “You got served!” in that sketch paying homage to the cinematic serve off known as “You Got Served.”

Congrats on the new blog. It sure looks like a lot of words.
