Roses and Ruin<\/i><\/a> is a Leannan Sidhe album project. It’s akin to Cracksman Betty<\/a><\/i> in that it’s single-day efforts, with only light production.<\/p>\n

Unlike Cracksman Betty<\/i>, it wasn’t ever wrapped up. And Leannan Sidhe is coming over today to record the first new track for the project<\/a> since… I don’t even know. Quite a while!<\/p>\n

It should be fun. It’s my first recording session in, like, five months. How the hell did that happen? Oh, right, releasing a major album, that’s right. It’s apparently time to get back on that pony.<\/p>\n

Which… okay, long-time fans might just remember a song I’ve performed about four times ever called “Getting Away with It.” It’s this massive sprawling monster, probably a bit self-indulgent, crazily complex, all that. It was supposed to be on Dick Tracy Must Die<\/i>, but I couldn’t get it to work<\/em> like I knew it should.<\/p>\n

Eventually I pretty much gave up on it, and it sat, half-forgotten, in the back of my lyrics books, my personal Don Quixote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then somebody<\/em> asked me to play it after reading the lyrics at a Leannan Sidhe rehearsal. I had to struggle to remember how it even went, and I got the rhythm totally wrong in the verses, or did I, because in getting it so wrong, I think I see how I can get it to work<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’m just glad I don’t have to work with Charlton Heston to find out.<\/p>\n

Anyway, best get this posted. No rest for the wicked, after all. MINIONS! SET UP THE MICS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
