Recording Postponed Again

So, I'm still working night shifts at the moment. I had on last might and I have another one tonight that starts in a couple more hours from 10pm till 6am. After that, I will be free for a couple of days. I will have the rest of tomorrow off as well as the following day and most of Thursday finishing the rest of the week with all night shirts. I still have a lot of things to sort out with this new PC, mostly because I lack the effort to do anything once I get back from work. For example, today when I got back I was in bed for 7am and didn't wake up till after 5pm.

I have had a couple of days off last week but, they got occupied by other stuff I had to do/go to. I will get some recording done soon! Hopefully tomorrow...

Back to Recording and Facebook

It's been a while since I have used my promotional Facebook fan page so, today I have finally 1) changed the purpose of it (because before it was a mix of everything I do and now it more focused on my music) 2) Updated the images and text to be more accurate and relevant. I should probably still remove my old photos that are still on there but, I'm not sure. Tonight, I will be out and about and these next couple of hours I will be either getting ready or installing things or transferring files that have key importance so that I can continue recording as of tomorrow. I won't be able to record all day unfortunately as I have a night shift tomorrow, though I am hoping that I can at least get my song, "Work Pays" finished or near as damn it by tomorrow afternoon.

Microsoft Wireless 800 Keyboard

I've only gone and brought myself a brand new Keyboard. I got fed up of looking for half decent ones in Charity shops and just decided to just got all out on something that I will actually like and cherish. I like it that mush I want to keep the box (The box is quite nice...). Anyway, as you may have guessed by my post title, it is a wireless keyboard but, what you may not have guessed is that it also came with a mouse. Both of them work from one USB adapter that's crazy small and fits quite snug hidden in the back of my tower. The funny thing is that my tower's OS is Windows XP and because this is a new keyboard, it seems that Microsoft are trying to remove XP from their back catalog by not stating on the box that it that the keyboard supports it. They only listed OS that are Windows 7 and above. Me not being much of a technology nerd panicked a little after I brought it but, everything is fine now.

All systems Go!

In other news, my bedroom is an absolute mess. My bookcase has wandered into the bathroom and I have stuff everywhere at the moment. Hopefully this will all be sorted by tonight and I'll be able to breathe again soon.

Ahem..

So, recently I promised to release am EP for this month and earlier this week a single too. Unfortunately, the world of Kim has been a very busy and stressful one. I've mostly been working night shifts these last couple of weeks and barely finding anytime to spare though yesterday I was fortunate enough to stubble across a couple of old PCs that have now been mashed together to create a half decent one that I am using now to write this post. Hopefully, I can get some more recording done tomorrow once I've woken up and fully recovered from my shift tonight. At least I have the rest of tomorrow off and Saturday as well.

My original song, "Work Pays" Should be finished in the next couple of days though, now I'm in the process of moving everything over to this new PC of mine. The good news is that my bedroom is looking more and more studio like as the days pass by. Tomorrow I'mm moving my bookcase and pushing my bed (and everything under it) further back against the wall in an attempt to make more space. I'm thinking of getting a new slimmer book case even though now I need to invest in a new qwerty keyboard and a wifi shin dig as this new PC doesn't have Wifi. I'm currently borrowing a good friend of mine's keyboard and his wifi thingy too.

Woo!

Work In Progress

Today I started work on a new song. The riffs and licks were inspired by my first ever full size guitar, my jax ville strat as I picked it up for the first time in a while. I have wrote a few lyrics for but, so far I have only managed to record a short acoustic clip without vocals.

Here are the lyrics I have so so far for this song:

Walking down this lonely road,
I'll drive myself insane.
Doinf nothing but, working, playing hard,
Everyday is the same.

It's been so long since I had a day,
Where I just do stuff for me.
I just need a break, not to stay the same,
Don't take this personally.

My First Single

Today is the day, (very late in the day) that I launched my first single 'Secret' for free steaming on Soundcould. This is quite the remarkable day for me. Recording for the song was completed tonight along with starting it. I Still need to focus on the recording of my EP but, I wanted to release this one to see the public's reaction to my break into a solo musicians world. This still feels all new to me and is somewhat surreal.
