Arrows of Apollo

oh man.. all sorts of good work done today, and it's only early afternoon. i got guitars down on two or three songs, theremin on a song, piano.. and all sorts of scratch vox. productive.

which is odd, 'cause last night was a good time.. new mex rev practice, then i went to the wonder ballroom and saw Pepe and the Bottle Blondes, this weird latin band.. very good music, but odd stage presence. but it was free (thanks mercury). then i went to a party up in north portland, Eric from the King Hen's house.. he had a fucking ice sculpture. very pimp.. pretty good night.

and yet, so much work got done. today i'm posting 'Arrows of Apollo' the most epic two minutes i've ever written. early on emily said it was kinda like a movie soundtrack thing.. i thought of willow, for some reason.. its kinda like mercury rev, to me - maybe flaming lips and mercury rev working together.
i wrote it on piano and started building it up.. drums and a few guitars and accordion.. then emily came in and put trumpet parts down.. three, i think. she's a genius. i also really like the lyrics on this one. very short, but it worked out well.. i kinda proud of this song. big and majestic, all in two minutes.
