 (p [Just so you know why there has not been any update for a while:
     Jackie and I were asked to play a 20 to 40 minutes set on a
     Wednesday night in September with some friends in a bar.  We
     think we could be playing these songs without too much hassle:])

 (ul
  (li [神话])
  (li [Eye of the Tiger])
  (li [天使])
  (li [Kayleigh])
  (li [秋天不回来])
  (li [Caveman (original song)]))

 (p [I was told that there would be a full drum set and amplifiers for
     bass and guitar.  As we are but two people, I will play the Grand
     Stick to fill the spots of both guitarist and bass player while
     singing.  Jackie has to get back into drumming within in the next
     few days, so I will be busy with tutoring her a little.])

 (p [“Caveman” is not a full song yet.  Once intended to be the second
     part of my ,(em [opus magnum]), writing stalled when I stopped
     actively working on the whole thing.  About three years ago I
     made a short ,(ref "/downies/music/caveman_demo.ogg" "demo
     recording") of it in Berlin.  The lyrics have changed since, but
     are still incomplete.  I will have to take some time to flesh it
     out and turn it into a real song.])

 (p [Last Wednesday I failed at recording 天使 for various reasons.
     For one the fear to disturb the sleeping neighbours—they go to
     bed at eight in the evening—was very inhibiting to my singing; on
     top of that sleep deprivation attributed to rather sloppy
     playing.  I also stared into the camera to often, which made for
     disturbing footage.  I am going to venture another attempt
     tonight.]))
