GAH

ok so i didn't forget last night to blog, i just didn't remember.

John and I forgot a full song in our musical (dammit) so that's what we're gonna be working on today.
We finished all of the other songs- we have recordings and lyrics all set to be distributed and hopefully tomorrow starts script work. In all honesty the script shouldn't take very long to write, we were writing it verbally as we went along. All the gags are in place and we know where we want them. The hardest part will be actually taking the time to write it down.

Oh my god, are we done with songs?

Oh my God, we're done with songs. Shit. That's 9 songs in 2 weeks. Oh.Hot.Damn. So all we need to do now is ....write...the...entire....script...oh. But we carry on. The story is clear in our heads and the only thing left to really decide upon is if everything will make sense or not. Im fairly confident this work will get done. It's alot of fun to make, and i think it'll be even better to perform. Especially if we somehow get to incorporate the "parakeet song"

shit i forgot to blog

Captain Canada is taking shape finally.... It's fun to steal musical influences from shows.

So far we've stolen rhythms from Jeckyl and Hyde, plot points and song ideas from Dr.Horrible, characters from Batman, amongst other things that at the moment elude me.

I'm not sure what to write, i don't want to give everything away, and the process of coming up with songs is literally "he john what rhymes with cat" "uhhh, lets go to the rhyming book" "YAY" "Oh bat rhymes with cat" "genius"

It's strange really that the best songs we come up with are the ones we dont think about writing. When we sit down and go, ok lets write a song we can't. It's only when we start to muck about that we make anything worth doing. We work better loosely, without a general plan of action (*salutes*). Ironically, the hardest song to write is the goddamn commissioner's song which is supposed to be a "showtune". We can't write a goddamn showtune for a campy-ass musical. It's just sad.
