Turns out the troll in the closet story is some kind of urban legend. Sharon broke the news to me today. Not really sure on the details - I was only able to speak with her briefly - but her friend pulled a fast one on her. I did a quick search online and found variations of the story. Oh well, it was destined to be proven false. Sorry for the erroneous information, folks.
Just did a bunch of recording. Tried putting vocals over a song, but I wasn't very satisfied with the results. I switched to a new song I've been working on. I played it live and from the gut; most of the performance was intuitive. I was very happy with the results. I added a quick harmony over one of the parts. I work better this way. When I try to record my songs neat and polished, they often sound flat, especially the vocals. I like imperfections and a sense of looseness. It's one of the main reasons I dig Will Oldham. Having this new recorder is the best thing that's happened to me in a while. Can't wait to get back at it.
Now I go to watch a flick or read from Drood. Or perhaps listen to some ELO like I've been doing lately. Kind of ironic, considering I was just riffing about liking imperfections and looseness; ELO is the exact opposite. I love it, though. A lot to be learned from Jeff Lynne.
