Songs for the Restless – #PortlanDIY –

Well, this started Today at late dawn when I gave it a read. I got fascinated.  I did a techno track. All of the sudden I got an idea of doing an out of tune blues today afternoon. Kinda like a funny song thing, kinda like a Jingle. I had said before that I only would have done jingles for certain particular, of course, dreaming high above  all I would have imagined at this and at that time, and most of all, I said it  jokingly. It´s kinda funny now that I think about all the times I´ve been asked to work on jingles for companies, like serious and lasting jobs, and of course about all the times I have turned down those jobs with different excuses. Prolly that was my excuse. Ok, I would have gotten more sandwiches in the weekends, but hey, who wants to do a Jingle or a Song that is crappy and goes thru 20 different focus groups and filters and all that. I would have been ashamed of myself, in silence. Privately. And it would have been a loss of time. Id rather be penniless for a couple of months, most people don´t understand. It´s not like I was gonna die or nothing. I do things on my own terms. And like if I dig, am flexible.

So I started this (the whole idea) today near dawn, with a techno happy funny tune, then this it is what came up. People who have cd´s and stuff know who am borrowing from, and know the feeling of this. It´s nothing new. But anyways, at some point it got serious weird. Which is good. And I got a chance to pay a little homage to musicians I look up too. And to comedians. All in the same bag in this series, sometimes I can´t tell em apart, Songs for the Restless. Who could turn down an D.I.Y Call? Ok, I don´t even live there, but hey, that call got pretty far. #PortlanDIY. Has the answer call at least gotten in the answering machine now I ask myself. Hell, this is fun anyways, am gonna record all these days songs with this in mind.
