Billy Joel and Songs

I had a dream this morning that I was writing music for Billy Joel and I was saying that he should write a song like this cause it would be amazing. I could hear it on piano in my dream but then I realized no wait! I will write this song for us!! So I woke up this morning and recorded the best version of the idea from my dream. We'll see how that goes. Its not always the easiest thing to get whats in your head ,out of your head perfectly but I am gonna try. Sounds pretty good inside my head too bad you can't just put on headphones from my head eh? Maybe it'll be a Costa Nova song one day.............one can always dream.

Feelin' Groovy

Great show last night at The Garter in Venice for the night "Venice Rocks". Holy crap talk about a long couple of weeks. I was so tired going into our show last night I felt dazed a bit. It was kind of cool to start playing like that tho. I had to find my footing in all of our sound. By the 3rd song I was off and flying. It felt really good. Lots of movement and feeling going on which is always good. We did a string of shows there over the past couple of months and don't really have one booked right now but we really dig the Venice rock scene. Good people who appreciate music. Our newest song "Forecast" has been going over well and not to sound dumb or anything but I really dig it myself very much so. Its pretty groovy. Which is definately an area of our style I want to go a lot more......and more.......and more. Be ready to groove peoples..........wah pedals, delays, and much much more. Stay Tuned for the new Tunes. Sleep well.

What Satellite?

Ever wonder where songs come from? I mean seriously. Its a pretty amazing gift to be creative. I thank God everyday. So....if they sound good to me is that all that matters? How come they don't make sense to everyone else? I think its hard enough for people to get me as a person so how the heck are they gonna understand whats in my head that I am pouring out into music? Its tough. And even if they do understand what it is coming out of my mind why would they think its right? Sometimes I feel like I am an alien and I was accidentally left here by the spaceship I was on and nobody even myself realizes any of this ,so it all goes unnoticed just like my music. It takes a lot to grab people's attention in todays world. People have so much access to anything in a split second that you really have to get in their face about it. Well at least be unique in some way. At the end of the day I feel like I'm at a place where I am making music that I like to hear so I think thats a good step. Now back to working on my craft. Song craft not space craft......haha.

The Future

Clearing the decks........ready to write songs and take on the world is a good feeling. Lets stay here for a while. Until we write our album at least and then lets go see the world. 12-51am singer down hallway playing his acoustic and singing. Go man go. I know I am just rambling but hey, Led Zeppelin ,one of the greatest rock bands ever, even wrote a song called Ramble On.....so thats what I am gonna do. btw....listening to Led Zeppelin today and dammit. Such good songwriters. I mean really. So much one can learn just from listening to them. I am gonna keep listening. Like right now. Gonna go fall asleep with the ipod headphones on now. Sweet Dreams peoples!!
