I swear this was a request. Well, someone said that they wanted to hear "I Remember," they didn't say how. Tonight I went to Mark and Pam's house for a party, and Mark asked me to help him with some vocal tracks, so in return he recorded some stuff for me. I don't feel that I have the right to play his song, so here is some one-take, A Capella, playing around that I got to do. See if you can tell where I messed up on any given track - it's fun! (The song titles are links, and the volume varies from clip to clip.)

"I Remember," (Damien Rice) Only the female part.

"I Know," (Fiona Apple) It's close to correct.

"Paper Bag," (Fiona Apple) I am not the person snapping. So the rhythm slip is not my fault.

I also want to add a public apology to Matt Carlson, who will most likely never read this. Still, it is in order because I have made an asshole of myself around him more than any other person. My asshole rating has gone way down since I quit working with him back in May, but it is still bothering me. Sorry, Matt! I really think you are a cool guy, and I am trying harder to think before I speak these days!

Another reflection of mine this evening has made me feel that it is important to express how much I would appreciate a filter on my cell phone that keeps me from calling or texting anyone when I am drinking besides a cab, emergency numbers, and a few select people chosen while I am sober. This would also help bring down my asshole rating.
