That's better

mdlbearSpent most of the day struggling with Demon Lover. This take (take 6) may have done it, modulo my scratch vocals. It's at least something I wouldn't be too ashamed to put on a demo. I'm a little shaky on pitch (in both parts), I have trouble with my lowest note, and the guitar could be better. But I realized yesterday or the day before that I'd misremembered the last line of the low part (my part). Also realized that I'd been playing a C where I really needed an Am. (Goes fine with the low part, and clashes horribly with the high part.) There's a good reason why it took me a week with a sequencer to work it out in the first place.
Also recycled some old electronics, mostly nine or ten assorted VCRs, DVD and CD players, and one half-dead receiver. I swear those things breed in dark corners -- I found three more afterwards. Also tossed in a couple of dead UPSs and a long-obsolete Apple laserwriter. unwaste.com was having a free e-waste recycling day at our local high school. There's another in nearby Santa Clara next month; we're going to need it.

Definitely looking forward to lots of music-making, in just a few more days!
