Q: when you're at a creative block do you ever record songs that you made as concepts a long time ago
A: if i'm supposed to record songs on a regular basis, there's no such thing as a creative block. gotta make it happen. if i'm supposed to record a song not on a schedule, then it will probably never get done. if i'm not supposed to record a song, then it will definitely not get done. but the procedure for song selection is, first i do a general writing session to come up with new ideas to add to the list. then i go through the entire list (the list contains everything, finished or non, mostly unfinished actually because if there's anything finished in there it has probably already been picked) and pick out ones that feel like they could be the right choice, that may be a list of about 10 to 20. then i immediately do a random number selection and that's the selection. then i finish the writing, then do it
