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.
