SHERYL CROW

All I do is a few things.

Read a blog about Bowie, listen to pre-Hunky Dory Bowie, read about either Hunky Dory or 1977-1981 Bowie, and now, I guess, listen to John Cale covering LCD Soundsystem?

Whatever. Point is, I try to continue work on songs, have ideas. Think they’re great. And they might be. But it’s possible I’ve overstepped myself? I want to do more than I now can, by myself. I need someone to throw ideas to, who can extrapolate them and know what I’m talking about, because I know so hard! but can’t articulate them into music. I know how I want “James Dean Aurr,” the song, to sound. I want some sort of cross between a Nuggets-style-glam stomper and “Low,” in general. But what do I get? Over-reverbed, over-done, crap. I can’t play the drums, I can’t even figure out my own guitar parts to play them well enough.

It’s a mess.

I’m not even posting the drummed up version I made today.
