music update

so it's probably time to give everyone a music update (since that is one of the initiatives of this blog).

1. i'm pretty overwhelmed with schoolwork at this moment.  however, i hope to begin recording this week, little by little.  my goal is to have 10-12 songs completed and ready for mastering by Christmastime.

2. the cd will sound pretty different than the ep.  not as much acoustic, more orchestration.   if you've seen a live show, you will understand.  there will even be some electric guitar on it and some guest stars.

3. "boxer" by the national is suuuuccchhhh a good cd and is totally inspiring me.   if you haven't heard the national, check out the song "fake empire."   so good.

4. i am planning on having a couple of shows in chicago come Christmastime.  if you have a good Chicago venue or show possibility, let me know!

5. i have a pretty big announcement soon about record label stuff.   can't talk yet specifically but things are good!

6. did i mention how much i love this national cd?

7. i think that's about all for now.  i just want y'all to know that i am, indeed, still alive, and there are things happening... just at a little slower pace than previously.  hopefully i can throw a new demo or something up on the myspace within the next month.   so keep checking it (myspace.com/matthewcavanaugh).

8. peace out homies.
