back in lalala
Current mood: crunk
hello.
back home from the shows.i have been writing bits and pieces on my gavinrossdale.com site but yes i have been neglectful here.

so-apologies.
we have been having a huge time out there at all the shows.so many great nights
and faces,familiar and new.
and the vibe.wowza.the kind of energy that gives sense to my world of music.
thx.

i have a great band,they have been consistently committed and played their brains out at each show.
i have gotten so many emails about the touring schedule-
you know i want to come play wherever you are.and i will.
the plan,so you know,is to the let record to blossom and
shine a light into your world-then we will tour.

it is not personal.well actually it’s all personal but the point being that i am working my way towards you all the time.

i’m glad you have gotten the chance to hear-jungle in the circus-here
it is a cool track that i did with the excellent chris traynor.
it was so hard trying to choose the songs for the record and then the whole idea of extra/bonus tracks for some and not others drives me crazy(it was a bonus track in europe).in 2008.but it is how it is done at this point.
which is why i requested that it be put on the player.
really glad people are digging it.

since i’ve been back from the great seattle,i have been enjoying the olympics.i only mention it as there is a swim relay on in the background.
australian girls winning the relay.
screaming with delight,as you would if you won a gold medal.
now the crazy strong gymnasts.
insane.

anyhow
i just finished a day in the studio working on a cool version of love remains the same.

you will get to hear it-and it was a good day.enough said about that for now.but you’ll see.

so,my little note draws to a close,i wonder what is next for me tonight.
i have to power the studio down,letting the cables sleep.
everyone needs a little rest.

it is mad hot here,which for an english person,is still a shocker.
a world on holiday.

which reminds me it’s been a while since i packed a bag to go away for
a holiday.no complaints but it’s about time.
not perfect time for a holiday right now but worth thinking about.
gawping at travel magazines with impossibly beautiful hotels around the world.
now that is doable-right now.

can i find a late night magazine shop?
maybe in london or nyc,but not here in la.
on franklin maybe?

better start searching around the house.

who knows-could be something somewhere.

be lucky

hey everyone.
we’re back in the studio working on some cool different versions of the record,
and some b-sides etc.
the session in las vegas went real well and we’re putting the finishing touches to it now.
i wonder when i-tunes will release them(6 songs)
it’d be cool to make a whole record there,even if it is close to some serious distractions.
i think it could work great though.i’m really enjoying vegas right now.
it is a different planet.

the studio at the house is pure magic.and it sounds great.big 70’s subwoofer and cool speakers make for happy musicians.
me and chris are taking different turns between guitars and singing.
it’s a creative time.
and it’s cool to hang in,i should post a picture.you gotta see it.

it was a busy weekend.4 birthdays and the kanye west/nerd show on monday and trying to finish a ton of details in the studio.
also some press-
it’s a weird one.you meet someone for 40 minutes and try to be yourself and answer as best you can.music is easy,but then the personal stuff-and really you gotta watch what you say as it can be soooo taken out of context and i think i am rusty and so the mistakes can happen and then you wonder
if you’re gonna get fried when the interview comes out.obviously i had a worrying interview.

and you know how people diss some artists for being interviewed,talking and responding without saying anything,so you want to be open but that makes it easier to screw up and
then hear about some big mouth comment that you may or may not regret.
so it is a minefield and all i want is to spread the word about the record.

you can see the interviews can stress you out.
anyhow

the artwork is done,the photos are done and now the video is the next big thing.
i’m meant to be doing it next week-haha-
wow-it’s all quiet then it’s a manic rush.
that’s showbiz for you.

i’ll keep you posted.
rehearsals start on the 5th may-and then we really start to motor.

on and up

best
