Record This

With only six songs to go, we're feeling a bit reflective. I'm not exactly sure how I'll feel when Week Hit's has officially ended, but I do know that this past year will always be a highly memorable one. Children are often taught to remember things by setting them to music. Most of us still recite our ABC's to the same tune that was used to help us learn them. And what about songs and albums you grew up listening to? Those will always remind you of a time and a place. I like that I can go back and listen to any of the forty-six songs we've recorded thus far and be instantly transported back to the week it was recorded. Gives a nice double meaning to the word "record", doesn't it?

Ghost Writer

There was a time in my life when I believed myself to be haunted by the authorly spirit of Willa Cather. It was crazy. Billboards bearing her face were erected outside my bedroom window. My parents went on an impromptu trip and wound up in Red Cloud at her childhood home. Without the knowledge that they were doing Willa's bidding, they brought me home souvenir Cather bookmarks. Lately, Scot and I have been doing some ghost hunting with the members of Luv Club through which I feel we've pretty much proven the existence of ghosts. The other morning I was sitting at my computer, drinking coffee alone in my home, when I heard what could only be described as the sound of someone walking around upstairs. Ghosts, they are among us and just as real as this week's song. BELIEVE!

We would also like to dedicate this song to our dear friend Dr. Schueth, a Cather scholar and an adamant non-believer in ghosts who will soon be leaving us to do bigger and better things in the state of Texas. We blot our tears with the knowledge that he will always be here with us in spirit.

We're Not Fighting

This song was almost titled "Fuck You & Fuck This Song", but then we thought of the children (and our mothers...) You know how sometimes in a relationship you can be fighting without realizing that you're doing it? And then eventually you start to argue about how you're not the one who's arguing? It's fun, right? Well maybe not, but you can set most anything to music and make it more enjoyable. So here's to putting down your dukes and picking up a guitar and a pen.

Health Vampire

That's right, it's LUV CLUB. And a very special edition of Luv Club at that. We had some long distance Luvers from our Denver branch in town for the holiday weekend and took full advantage of that. You might find yourself having many questions about Luv Club, but you really only need to know one thing: we got issues. We're prone to obsessive fits that tend to manifest themselves in either songs of worship or disdain. "Health Vampire" is most definitely a song of worship. Gawd bless the internet, Susan Powter and Youtube.

ALSO! With this song, the final countdown begins. Only nine songs to go!

Loco Motives

I can't believe this week's song is only three minutes long. It's small but mighty. Musically, it's two separate song ideas that got strung together. The song linking influenced the lyrical train theme that runs throughout. Plus, it just had to be about something motorized, this shit revs.

Still liking the new studio, but discovered some horrifyingly large spiders down there tonight. Do spiders have ears? I was hoping the foundation shaking noise we make would kill or deter any unwanted pests. Those evil arachnids probably thrive on sonic pulses. On the bright side, their existence could possibly make for a stellar recording of a blood curdling scream should the need arise in a future song. A spider might also make for a good drummer, what with all those legs and such.
