August Update/Twitter/Awesome Song

Before I get to the blog post: follow me on twitter or tell me something cool @chrishuskey!

Alright. It's definitely way past time for an update, so:

Some good news and some bad news in terms of music. Good news -- I've been writing songs like mad this summer (I'm living/working in SF, and it's pretty inspiring), and I'm pretty happy with a good number of them. Also, I'm getting involved at the studios at Stanford, so this year I'll be hopefully be able to record up there some (more updates on this soon).

The bad news is actually not that bad -- my guitar is broken from when it fell off my shoulder (a.k.a. I dropped it) while I was running to catch a train to a show. So it doesn't sound good at all when I record. I'm working this summer and saving up for a new guitar, so as soon as that gets worked out (hopefully in the next month or so!) I'll be able to record demos and post video updates on YouTube. In the meantime, I'm getting these new songs ready for their debut.

On another note: I'm going to start posting what I'm listening to each blog post like they have you do on MySpace. I saw this band Barcelona a few days ago and I'm obsessed with their music now -- this aquarium video on YouTube is getting them a lot of recognition and is especially sexcellent.

My next post will be shorter, I promise!
