From 1/17/09
10:06:47 PM Tim Seley: how goes it?
10:07:00 PM Pack: meh
10:07:10 PM Pack: song is a hard one
10:07:19 PM Pack: hard to come together that is
10:16:50 PM Tim Seley: I'll send you what I was working on earlier
10:17:01 PM Pack: sweet
10:17:14 PM Pack: I am actually loking what I am coming up with all the sudden
10:18:13 PM Tim Seley: its up
10:18:16 PM Tim Seley: piano song
10:18:30 PM Tim Seley: I just used the 57 for a quick vocal track
10:18:36 PM Tim Seley: it makes me sound a little extra nasal
10:18:54 PM Tim Seley: lyrics need work also
10:19:03 PM Tim Seley: when do I get to hear yours?
10:19:06 PM Pack: I'm gonna wait just a bit until I get whatever is coming out... out
10:19:14 PM Tim Seley: do it
10:47:12 PM Tim Seley: turns out its my voice that sounds nasal, not the microphone
10:47:21 PM Tim Seley: go figure
10:47:21 PM Tim Seley: :)
10:47:24 PM Pack: lol
10:55:20 PM Pack: ok
10:55:25 PM Pack: I am bouncing what I have...
10:55:30 PM Tim Seley: sweet
10:55:33 PM Pack: haven't even listened yet
10:59:06 PM Pack: so your line "there won't ever be enough time" sparked this one
10:59:15 PM Pack: in the usual spot
10:59:15 PM Tim Seley: interesting
10:59:45 PM Pack: All this intersecting motion
keeps clouding my mind
and the thought of getting better
There won't be enough time
No there won't ever be enough time
We have now to belong to
this moment falls behind
and the memories don't like company
there won't be enough time
No there won't ever be enough time
now is what we've been given
and that it's all thats mine
now is gone and forgotten
and there won't ever be enough time
11:00:37 PM Pack: listening to yours
11:00:45 PM Tim Seley: I really like it so far
11:02:01 PM Pack: oh I meant to tell you Nathan said he really liked the song this last week and wanted me to tell you.
11:02:13 PM Tim Seley: well thanks
11:02:28 PM Pack: nice job on the keys
11:02:33 PM Pack: I like the groove
11:02:46 PM Tim Seley: I kinda played it like you've been playing
11:02:47 PM Pack: ooooh I like the end
11:02:59 PM Tim Seley: I like this one a lot
11:03:12 PM Tim Seley: explain it
11:03:16 PM Tim Seley: your song
11:03:40 PM Pack: I want to have a clear focus on what I am to be about and what it is I need to spend time on
I find myself spinning my wheels it seems and wishing I were further down the road
But I don't always want to be wishing I were somewhere else and missing where I am
11:04:08 PM Pack: these are just thoughts I wrote down before I wrote the song
11:04:13 PM Tim Seley: very nice
11:04:23 PM Pack: I got stuck on your line about never having enough time
11:04:37 PM Pack: and then started thinking about the book I read called NOW is gone
11:04:48 PM Pack: just the concept that now is all we have, but now is gone...
11:05:07 PM Pack: even what we have is gone
11:05:10 PM Pack: I don;t know
11:05:16 PM Tim Seley: that's great
11:05:35 PM Pack: We can remember the past, but we can't be there
11:05:38 PM Tim Seley: there's a lot of meaning in there
11:05:45 PM Tim Seley: and we'll never be in the future
11:05:50 PM Pack: nor ther future
11:05:55 PM Pack: good point
11:06:07 PM Pack: we can now, but wait it's gone already
11:06:12 PM Pack: crap
11:06:20 PM Tim Seley: wait
11:06:21 PM Tim Seley: now
11:06:22 PM Tim Seley: crap
11:06:23 PM Tim Seley: now
11:06:28 PM Pack: can't keep up
11:06:38 PM Pack: explain yours
11:07:05 PM Tim Seley: I wrote it while we were at the stone barn
11:07:11 PM Tim Seley: or at least the random thoughts that I used
11:07:36 PM Tim Seley: and how often I feel completely overwhelmed by how I don't deserve someone as special as my wife
11:07:56 PM Tim Seley: and that's about it :)
11:08:30 PM Pack: I like "diamonds are a dime a dozen, but only one of you"
11:09:36 PM Tim Seley: I like yours a lot man
11:09:40 PM Tim Seley: good stuff
11:09:46 PM Pack: thanks man.
11:10:19 PM Pack: it's weird how you can work for hours ona song and then change directions and something comes so quickly
11:10:31 PM Tim Seley: werd
11:11:08 PM Tim Seley: I feel like we could take this song a lot of different directions
11:11:14 PM Tim Seley: it works really well just by itself
11:11:21 PM Tim Seley: but it could be really dynamic too
11:11:27 PM Pack: yeah
11:11:51 PM Pack: specific thoughts?
11:12:04 PM Tim Seley: not really
11:12:13 PM Tim Seley: doubt we have enough time for anything too crazy
11:12:19 PM Tim Seley: get it?
11:12:28 PM Pack: no
11:12:31 PM Pack: jk
11:12:33 PM Pack: yes
11:12:36 PM Pack: punner you
11:12:47 PM Tim Seley: it just jumped outta my mouth
11:13:03 PM Pack: what does your day look like tomorrow?
11:13:07 PM Tim Seley: in F?
11:13:11 PM Tim Seley: nothing
11:17:38 PM Pack: dude I got an early one tomorrow I am going to hit the sack. wanna meet up tomorrow and hammer one of these bad boys out
11:17:40 PM Pack: ?
11:17:46 PM Tim Seley: key of c minor
11:18:05 PM Pack: glas I could make it easy on you
11:18:08 PM Pack: glad
11:18:09 PM Tim Seley: haha
11:18:13 PM Tim Seley: go to bed
From 1/18/09
1:52:54 PM Tim Seley: what are you thinking for today?
1:53:26 PM Pack: gonna try and knock this song out in the next hour and send it your way. If you want to add to it you are free to
1:53:57 PM Pack: what time do you wanna shoot for to knock out the web stuff?
1:54:24 PM Tim Seley: any time better than another for you?
1:55:17 PM Pack: don't know. I would LOVE a nap, but I am not planning on it. We have the porter kids over at 4 for the evening. I would like to help linds out when they get here... we could try to knock it all out before then
1:55:23 PM Pack: puching it hard
1:55:27 PM Pack: pushing
1:55:42 PM Tim Seley: you worry about the song and I'll take care of the web stuff
1:55:54 PM Tim Seley: if its later and you feel like contributing then great
1:55:59 PM Tim Seley: how's that hit you?
1:56:15 PM Pack: sounds great. I will at a minimum do the write up
1:56:19 PM Tim Seley: I might add a little thing or two to the song, but it won't be anything major
1:56:34 PM Pack: any ideas for artwork?
1:56:38 PM Pack: a clock?
1:56:43 PM Pack: or sand
1:57:28 PM Tim Seley: I'll do some looking
2:00:23 PM Tim Seley: I really like how you sang the version last night
2:00:30 PM Tim Seley: so do that again :)
2:00:42 PM Pack: yeah "good luck with that"
----
3:53:39 PM Pack: how do you feel about going....."organic" ?????
3:53:45 PM Tim Seley: :)
3:53:50 PM Tim Seley: you mean just posting what you sent last night?
3:53:55 PM Pack: close
3:54:35 PM Pack: I'm not having a whole lot of luck today... I finally just plugged the guitar in and put a mic in front of my face and forgot about the click....
3:54:53 PM Pack: I like the feel, but it's basic
3:55:16 PM Tim Seley: got an mp3 I can listen to?
3:55:23 PM Pack: I'll bounce it
4:05:26 PM Pack: its up
4:08:35 PM Tim Seley: I'm just listening on the laptop speakers
4:09:34 PM Tim Seley: gonna grab my headphones
4:13:28 PM Tim Seley: are you uploading the project file?
4:13:46 PM Pack: I'm not. do you want me to?
4:13:54 PM Tim Seley: I might mess a little
4:14:27 PM Tim Seley: but I think my preference if we go "organic" would be upload the one you sent last night
4:14:38 PM Tim Seley: and we could be like
4:14:44 PM Tim Seley: this is what we start out with
4:14:51 PM Tim Seley: normally
4:14:51 PM Tim Seley: :)
4:15:05 PM Tim Seley: got some pics to run by you
4:15:55 PM Tim Seley: and I just e-mailed one to you
4:17:00 PM Pack: I like the Idea of the one you emailed best

4:17:17 PM Pack: ooooooh
4:17:25 PM Pack: there it is
4:17:35 PM Tim Seley: cool :)
-----
4:41:04 PM Tim Seley: what do you think of the idea of releasing the recording you sent last night?
4:41:19 PM Pack: don't love it
4:41:28 PM Pack: I am pushing forward on this
4:41:48 PM Pack: what I have sounds good, just always loses a little magic
4:41:53 PM Pack: I don't record well
4:42:50 PM Tim Seley: cool
4:42:57 PM Tim Seley: so are you still working on the song?
4:43:01 PM Pack: yeah
4:43:03 PM Tim Seley: is that what you meant by pushing forward
4:43:06 PM Pack: yeah
4:43:23 PM Tim Seley: what do you think about releasing my song this week and having next week for yours
4:43:25 PM Pack: I'll send you what I'm workin on here in a few
4:43:35 PM Tim Seley: I really like yours and don't want it to come out...
4:43:47 PM Tim Seley: the only word I can think of is "neutered" :)
4:43:57 PM Tim Seley: but that's not really the right word
4:44:09 PM Pack: castrated
4:44:14 PM Tim Seley: ha
4:44:25 PM Tim Seley: how about unfinished
4:44:32 PM Tim Seley: I think that's actually the word I was looking for
4:44:40 PM Tim Seley: but all I could think of was neutered
4:44:47 PM Tim Seley: scary
4:44:47 PM Pack: weird
------
4:50:25 PM Pack: k the new one is up
4:50:28 PM Pack: #3
4:50:30 PM Tim Seley: cool
4:50:44 PM Pack: better sound, just not ver magical
4:50:56 PM Tim Seley: what did you redo?
4:50:59 PM Tim Seley: or did you just remix
4:51:14 PM Pack: I just went back to some of the tracks I laid down and redid the vocal
4:51:27 PM Tim Seley: I liked the vocal on the last one :)
4:51:31 PM Tim Seley: but I like this one too
4:51:32 PM Pack: figures
4:52:05 PM Tim Seley: I just think its too good of a song to rush it
4:52:20 PM Pack: well thank you
4:52:21 PM Tim Seley: if we're gonna release something that's a little half baked I'd rather polish yours
4:52:31 PM Tim Seley: and release mine or something else
4:52:46 PM Tim Seley: or do the rough recording thing
4:52:57 PM Tim Seley: this one is better though
4:53:23 PM Pack: We could do yours tomorrow. and then release the rough take of this one on wed. and then release this one next week
4:53:29 PM Tim Seley: ooooh
4:53:33 PM Tim Seley: I like that idea
4:54:28 PM Tim Seley: I uploaded the project of mine if you wanted to add some vocal stuff to it
4:54:47 PM Tim Seley: or I can keep messing with it
4:55:13 PM Pack: I may mess with some background stuff
4:55:18 PM Tim Seley: I'd love it
4:55:36 PM Tim Seley: its not very melodic right now
4:55:55 PM Pack: I like it. All our songs are so different
4:56:22 PM Tim Seley: yeah I like that
4:56:25 PM Tim Seley: I need variety
4:57:42 PM Pack: just a suggestion. you might want to take out all the snorts. Just a suggestion
4:57:49 PM Tim Seley: haha
4:57:56 PM Tim Seley: sounds good to me
5:32:09 PM Pack: k uploading something
5:33:35 PM Pack: really low quality
5:33:47 PM Pack: how_can_it_be3
5:34:06 PM Pack: let me know if you like it. If you do I'll keep tweaking
5:34:12 PM Pack: if not no biggie
5:34:24 PM Pack: I haven't done any vocal stuff yet
5:36:31 PM Tim Seley: works for me
5:36:40 PM Pack: took it from rent to postal service
5:36:51 PM Tim Seley: ha
5:36:54 PM Pack: you don't have to like it
5:37:08 PM Tim Seley: I thought it needed some percussion
5:38:11 PM Tim Seley: did you make the loop? or was it in gb?
5:38:26 PM Pack: took a drum beat and jasked with it
5:38:30 PM Pack: bitcruncher
5:38:35 PM Pack: huge gate
5:38:39 PM Pack: and compressed
6:04:00 PM Tim Seley: I like the change
6:04:05 PM Tim Seley: adds a lot more personality
6:04:45 PM Tim Seley: wanna upload your project file?
6:04:48 PM Pack: should I upload the ...
6:04:50 PM Pack: yeah
6:04:51 PM Tim Seley: cool
