#16: Practice

Tryst is so new, we don’t have a website yet. Hell, we’re so new, we’re not even on MySpace. (If you don’t know what that is, consider yourself lucky.) And we’ve played exactly one show, which may or may not have been attended by anyone who was not actually a member of one of the other bands who played. But now, this week, in a startling confirmation of rumors that we actually exist, we’re podcasting a song! It’s just a live demo, and a pretty bad recording at that, but hey, you take your SM58 and your borrowed drum kit and GarageBand running on your already-outdated PowerBook and you make what you can of it, right? And it is my great honor and privilege this week to introduce Brian, my friend and co-conspirator, not to mention the only drummer in Portland who shows up on time and sober…

I posted the lyrics back in February, the first time this song appeared on SFoT. Thank you for listening, and for forgiving our inevitable mistakes as we figure out how to be a band. We’re just getting started.

    What a way to catch a guy off-guard! There I was, on the computer ‘just for a minute’, casually checking my LJ Friends page for a minute and I get hit with a new SFoT update! One of the better surprises I’ve had of late, to be sure. And one of the better SFoTs of late. Well, I don’t know if I can say that since they’re all good (well, I can* say it, but…).

    *Do you remember where we aruged about Creative Commons licensing and you were like “I could require you to do X and X and Y” and I was sort of unhappy? I can’t find it anywhere.
