On the weekend I had the opportunity to play an acoustic "Song for Sina" to the girl herself, Sina. It went over much better than I expected, and today we were able to get through it pretty easily with Feedback. Sometimes I think that Weezer doesn't inspire me anymore; however, playing this song is proof that it does. Punk style, easy four chord progression, simplistic scale solo, and wonderfully cheesy but heartfelt lyrics are, among other things, reminiscent of Weezer's Green album, or some of the things Rivers did for the Summer Songs of 2000. I don't really know, but perhaps rock still lives and perhaps I can make a go at writing it.
In other news, I hope to write enough songs over the summer to make an album, and my plan is to record it in September. Please stay tuned for requests for musical aid, encouragement, and criticism. I also hope to get some songs up on Purevolume once I have my own computer, with high speed internet. This is another thing that should happen during the summer, which I am terribly excited for.
I hope this summer turns out to be as good as I am anticipating it to. All the best! God bless.

a recording? sweet. you can be sure i'll buy one. Are they all gonna be songs you wrote?
Thats pretty cool that weezer has inspired you to write music man but I would like to attack your using of the term punk because weezer has never showen a taste of punk style if you're gonna define them as anything it will be nerd rock because of their folk and upbeat sounds more then anything
O.K. Neal. You win. "Nerd rock" - I said it.
Yeah Carol-Lee, They're all going to be original.
Anytime you want a little cameo guitar part added anywhere, acoustic or electric (you need to hear my newish electric sometime!) just call me up! Otherwise, I'll be as critical as you like and twice as encouraging!
