PROJECT THIS!
Its a really quick check in from me - feels like forever since I updated this site but its actually been less than a week! I am in one of those phases where its all talk and little action. Projects up the ass, but all in various stages of development. Its the worst stage of the process for me. The one thing that is happening right now that I am excited about is the recording of the first Billy Morrison solo material. I am booked to record at the end of the month and have the tracks written and ready to go - although release is a way off yet because there are other things happening like the Freddy shows, a movie I have, and a couple of other things. I will schedule a proper release when I can actually put a bit of time behind it - the "Stimulator" album release is out on April 7th but has been on my shelf for over 10 years! So its pretty much a stop-gap until my new material sees the light of day. But this new stuff is sounding great - strong riffs and a much more personal lyric - I am excited to see how the first few tracks sound. V-Blogs for sure from the studio at the end of March.
And thats all I got for you - today I have another development meeting for another project.....ho hum, it all sounds SO Hollywood!! Don't get me wrong, I understand that all the meetings have to happen, but its the terminology that gets me because everyone in this town throws words like "project" and "development" around all day long. But I suppose when you are starting things, those words apply. So let me join the ranks of Tinseltown and tell you that ...."my people are doing lunch with the VP of development so we can take the projects into production".....AAARGGGHH!!! Oh, and todays pic has nothing to do with anything I wrote today! Its just my latest acquisition - another choice piece of original Jamie Reid artwork - the ubiquitous God Save The Queen flag (I already have the red white and blue one), but in the lime green colorway. LOVE IT.
Peace
Billy

I dig those words (project/development, et al)... At least it makes one feel like something COULD go down while nothing really happens for years (in my case), hehe...
Awww!
Have fun with it all, sounds great Billy! Fun is where it's at after all, right? :)

A busy musician with a lot on his plate - my favourite kind and the only kind that matters!
Good luck with it all and don't work TOO hard!

"All talk and little action" could sum up my love life :-p
The one catch phrase I HATE to hear in meetings is "going forward". Don't we? Go Forward?
Everytime anyone says it I want to stab myself with a bic pen!
Have fun in your meetings, I hope they are productive! And you don't want to stab yourself with a pen! ;-)

My last supervisor used to say "going forward" at least 20 times a day. It drove me completely nuts. Thank God I don't work for that biatch no more. ITA

hmmm... the use of the word "colorway" tells me you've done some decorating. i'm impressed.
anyway- all sounds great. exciting to know new music is in the works.

Projects in development beat projects stuck any day of the week. Moving forward, albeit at a snails pace, beats non-momentum.
Can't wait to hear your solo stuff.
