• sleep cycle’s a little disturbed.. only slept for 2 hours but i’m really alert, i’ll probably be struggling through the day.

  went to 2 gigs in alexis over the break, caught asiabeat and groove unction with mia palencia, ning baizura as guest vocalists.. and to think we just went there without knowing who was playing that night! but it really gave me something to think about.

  we are only as good as who we play with.

  that’s the only way i can explain how it is that these amazing musicians are always leaps and bounds above us independant pop/rockers in terms of musicianship. i silently wonder what kind of musician i would’ve been, if i’ve played with that kind of quality for years.

  i think we can only grow as musicians together as a collective, to constantly sharpen and push each other to challenge our boundaries. not unlike how jon and godesh have been challenging me to match their level of musicianship, though jon would agree that we’re barely scratching the surface.

  our scene has such a great advantage though, being so much more accessible; but that being said, i guess it’s about time we stepped it up a notch.
