Memo to Trap: Keep Shut

The creative process is so up and down. Today it's down. Plot's partner David is having the inevitable frustrations and difficulties mixing 'The Perfect Pitch' in Nashville, so he's wound up tight and lashing out at Plot a bit for not being there, which is exactly the reason Plot did not want to be there in the first place.

Plot wrote a song a long time ago that is one of his very favorites. It was a simple ballad. It has now been turned into more of a rock production, although the basics of the song are still there. Wave sent an .Mp3 of the tune from Nashville last night and Plot made the mistake of responding. Stupid. He should have just stayed silent and listened a dozen times before saying a word.

It's very hard to hear something change that was cherished just the way it was. Actually, however, it's quite good now. Plot shouldn't have said anything. He should have waited. He'll never learn.

You think Bob Dylan was thrilled the first time he heard AC-DC play Blowin' in the Wind? (Yeah I know, AC-DC has never played that song. Probably. I'm just saying...)

It's tough to fight instincts. Like just knowing the Giants are going to blow it (and they did).
