Next Year's Gotta Be Better Than This One
December 31, 2008 5:41 PM
For anybody who figures it can't get any worse. Best played loud while drinking and shouting along.
Note: I actually had a really good year, but the line hit me this afternoon and it was too good not to work with. And god knows I have friends who could use an anthem right now.
I've been recording not enough this year, so consider this a sort of New Year's resolution to get back on the wagon in 2009.
And I've been playing a lot of piano (yay!) but not nearly enough guitar (boo!)—this is the first electric guitar I've recorded since I moved into our house, so I recorded a lot of it. The feedback/solo track was a lot of fun to put together, and compensation to the neighbors down the block for their yippie little dog.

Our songs should battle: my pessimism against your (almost) optimism!

Haha, alright, totally adding this to the party playlist. First time I've been informed of a MeMu post via Twitter!

ford, I figure it's two sides of the same coin. Downbeat NYE song high five!

I'm too sober for a video, and I had an awesome date tonight, but hooorrah! I will be rocking out.

Ok.. that was a really weird comment, like most of mine, but I was reminded of the elections this year and blah blah blah and happy new year everybody.

Favorited so I can find this if we play a NYE gig sometime; this would be a real crowd pleaser any year. I love that solo, it's perfectly dirty.

Yeah, I just found myself singing this the other day. Might be due for a re-recording now that I really mean it.
