I waste so much time thinking about time.SONG: "Scrap Heap Songs"

Funny how that is. You go off and take care of your own business for a few months; then September looms and everyone starts phoning each other again, frantically. And then suddenly it's Sunday runthrough with Martin (bass), Monday runthrough with Paul (drums), Tuesday band rehearsal, Wednesday impromptu recording session. Great.

By the way, I'm doing an informal solo gig tomorrow evening eightish at my friend's house; if you're in the area and want to join us, email me. It's free. (The emailing, as well as the show.)

Oh, and here's a song I can't decide what to do with.

Wolkenvelden - Scrap Heap Songs (4MB MP3) (lyrics)

I'm coming up on scrap heap songs
That never ask where they belong
I'll make them up as I go along

And every time the weekend's here
We go to lengths to strut our fears
Flex our doubts, laminate our pain, again

'Cause you see I'm done with
Harking back to halcyon days of yore
Yearning for songs of lore

We're just blowing our own horns
We're just growing our own horns

I'm coming up on scrap heap songs

Sing the news.

And so it happens that there's a new contribution of mine online over at The Aural Times, your finest provider of songs in the key of news.

In the blink of an eye.

Huh? The "Requiem for Blink" song I did for Metafilter got linked by My Own Music Industry last April, and I never found out until now. (Probably had my eyes closed for an instant just then?) Does this mean I am a Real Dutch Musician now?

Still working on recordings, and starting gig rehearsals as well. The Wolkenvelden.com machine, she will do her best to keep you informed.
