Uke Skywalker
- Did a remix (and added bass and strings) to Uke Skywalker’s disco medley. I think that says it all right there.

- Slight lyric rewrite for “Whose Side Are You On”
- Realized the song shares a rhythmic motif with an early Elephants of Scotland song: “Unnatural Science”
- May record a solo rock version of this very soon incorporating that EoS thingy.
Adam Rabin
- Final mixes of a few more songs.
- Getting closer to working up the nerve to start a subscriber feature.

Adam Rabin
- Worked on “Too Many Voices” for the first time in over a year.
- Was not expecting or planning on working on this one tonight but I felt brave.
- Been trying to lay down the right vocals for this for for about 5 years, I think.
- Singing along with Chris Titchner’s backing vocals helped.
- Might actually have gotten it.

Uke Skywalker
- Chat with Chris Combs about some production work for a Uke Skywalker video project.
- Always a fun collab.
HH Musical
- Greg laid some lyrics on me (and Kate) for a rap tune. Frickin’ rocks.
Podcasts
- Was approached by NS for another podcast theme song project. I hope it happens.

30th anniversary of meeting Greg. Celebrated by releasing “Spuds” to Facebook and YouTube.
HH Musical
- Finished writing “Whose Side Are You On?”
- It didn’t need another verse. It needed the bridge to repeat and have a soft version of the chorus (with a lyric variation) repeated between them.

HH Musical
- Finally wrote the big argument song that I’ve been putting off for months.
- I might write another verse. Song could be longer.

- Mixed Robot Dog Studio recordings. Came out better than I thought.
- Remixed Spuds and Heliopause. Very happy with them now. Ready for release.
- Played around with mash up of Maiden Voyage and Cigar Box 3000. Meh.
- Almost know how I’m going to release all this stuff.

DonnCherie
- Mid-day chat about her idea for a new bridge section in “FK”
- Totally diggin’ it. I’ll work that idea into the rough track later this week.
HH Musical
- Wrote some lyrical variations for the 4 choruses of “You Gotta Know Your Woman”
- That song is good to go now. Incorporated the song chart into the script so it’s really official
- Greg dug the song as well.
- He asked when we’d be ready to do a table read. I think we’re damn close. But I really want to have all the songs written first.
- I’m on a roll so I’m going to try and write the last 3 songs over the next few weeks.
- Maybe I start asking around about doing a table read – might keep a flame under my butt for songwriting.
Adam Rabin
- Tinkered with idea of doing a mash-up of “Maiden Voyage of the Acrolite” and “Cigar Box 3000”
- I tweaked the tempo of the latter to match the former – just needed to be slowed by 2 bpm so it’s not noticeable.
- Slightly different keys. But that never stopped me in the past.
- Low priority project but something I’ll pick up if I’m only in the mood to dick around
- And, I heard from Lyle who spent some time working on a guitar solo for “Here For You” which is a tune I started with Adam W and Chris C about two years ago. That song will see the light of day at some point.
