Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness.
-John Wayne

First of all. Sorry. I'm damn sorry. I've really been missing posting at regular intervals, but sometimes big stuff is coming your way and sometimes it's bigger than that. Two times bigger, to be exact. Move house & getting married. In other words, it's been totally insane.

At times like this, you don't prioritize. You simply shut off entire parts of your life just to be able to get along. The Band? Forget it. Concerts? No way. Even the latest news about the music tech world becomes totally irrelevant. But sooner or later pace is slowing down and you'll find yourself trying to get back in the saddle again.

Getting back where you left off is not easy, but I think it also serves as a CrapBarrier(™). Those splendid ideas no longer seem that great anymore, and the last lyrics you wrote before all hell broke lose seem utterly soul-less.

For once your inner critic might be right. There is nothing more revealing than digging down some projects for some time. An absolute diet off your own creative genius enhances the contrast between good and bad significantly.

Leave your stuff for a few days and you'll find out what's good and what's bad and what needs to be done much quicker.
