Everything old is new again.

In light of my catastrophic failure at writing a decent Trance tune, I've returned to where I got my start in the wonderful world of music. I've started to re-record some old tracks that I wrote when I was in the midst of trying to be the next Nickleback, before Nickleback even was.

It was nice to pickup my old guitar and be able to play with an intensity that I haven't felt in a great many years. It was like meeting an old friend and picking up exactly where you left off, just as if there weren't the many intervening years of absence.

I have no illusions of any of these tracks making me a rock star, but it gives me great pleasure to hear these tunes in a state nearing what I heard in my head when I wrote them back in the day. Also, truth be told, playing at the level I do is a great physical workout and a great way to vent any aggressive energies that may be plaguing the soul. In my experience there is no drug that can reproduce the high that I feel when I'm thrashing on a track.

Anyhoo, not much else to report.

Peace out,
Jason
