What a week. First we had to tape instead of going live due to another Badgers game. Then we lost the second half of the show, including an excellent interview with Larry Livermore, and another great piece with Jim Testa of Jersey Beat, due to a computer snafu. The first half of the show is up HERE - just scroll down to WTSO-AM and look for the Weasel Radio logo! Apologies to Larry and Jim but we will have them both on again soon!

...I really don't.
I have a pretty small window of opportunity to record my next album, which is meant to be the second half of These Ones Are Bitter. But not all the tunes made the cut (some didn't fit and others just weren't good enough). So I have to come up with 6 more. Step 1: Go through years and years of old tapes of myself working on songs and putting ideas down to see if I might come up with some good songs that slipped through the cracks or, more likely, a good verse or bridge here or there.
So a week ago Monday I got up bright and early and moved my amp, tuner, guitar, boombox, cassette recorder and four track down to the basement (I work better underground). My, I was efficient! Then other work started nagging at me. There was domestic stuff - laundry and grocery shopping being the most pressing. Annoying business stuff. E-mail. Etc. A blizzard and a head cold later and I'm sitting down for only the second time. There are 33 tapes to go through and I've made my way through a grand total of one.
No more! Shirtsleeves are rolled up! Elbow grease has been applied! I will get through the tapes. I will assemble songs from parts old and new! (Step 2 will be to write new songs, sling 'em all at my producer and let him pick and choose).
And lest you think I am procrastinating again by blogging about it, perish the thought: I am simply waiting for the water for my tea to boil.
There it is!

Screeching Weasel never made a video, but if we had, we couldn't have done better than this:
