Me and my girlfriend have just split up I haven't made music in over a month! Once I get settled in a little 1 bedroom apartment I think I will get my motivation back but I have had ZERO lately. Just alot of stress we've lived together about 4 years, have to split up our shit, rent out our house, ugh.

I've been listening to alot of music lately to cheer me up but have been making none what so ever.

Sorry to hear it man. (same for Palm but he always has drink to keep him company).

I would do what palm says, get your life ironed out then hit the studio - don't leave it too long though, you might want to get some of that emotion down in to some tracks......

Working on it! Looking at places next week I'm excited to start something new and get focused on something other than a relationship like making some music

I stopped drinking in 2007 but I do smoke alot of weed and that needs to go as well for a time until I have my feet under me again and my shit sorted.

Good point. Sometimes a track sitting on my mac unfinished really nags at me. Not that art is ever actually finished but.....

i have whole unfinished album nagging at me. its only 44 minutes and i want it to be atleast 60. annoying. and meanwhile i get tired of the first songs (loops really). heres a little teaser of what to come (hopefully) incase any of you are interested in what im working on at the moment: LINK
