It’s day 3, morning, as I write this, but that’s okay.  Rocked my energy reserve needle clear left of the glowing E on the dash.  Went to bed.
Started in on a new song on the way to pre-gig rehearsal with The Man So Cool yesterday afternoon:

• Little Metal Things

So far it’s a few lyrics in an atonal cadence, with arrangement/looping/drum ideas behind it. The least song-y song I’ve written in a while. Paranoid dance music.

All these little metal things / buried in the street / all these little metal things / buried in the street / that’s how they getcha-cha-cha-cha-cha

Inspiration in the strangest places.

Need to ideate some more today. I’d love to have the raw materials for the whole album’s worth of songs—say, ten or twelve specific ideas with beginning lyrics, hooks, tone in mind—by week one. Doing that by the end of this weekend is probably hoping for too much, but, hey, it’s the weekend. I’ve already got four song ideas and another strong instrumental idea so far.
