a musical created on the internet by the award-winning writing team Kerrigan and Lowdermilk based on the lives of two young bloggers as they share the story of their freshman years of college
Hey guys, I’ve been working on finishing off Pretty Girl Blues.
This first files is me bitching about the key change problems I got myself into, and the second file is me having it figured out. The truth is, however, that I’ve basically got 90 percent of it figured out and probably need to be in a room w/ kait to figure out the rest. ‘Cause we may not want a big musical build and key change into the 3rd chorus, we may want a spoken line, a little joke, something else… anyway, enjoy. I project that there will be a finished song and sheet music for this in the next week or so…
I am taking time out of my VERY busy Wednesday night (read: top chef and boston market) to issue lots and lots of props to a certain Erin Nelson of Viterbo University. She is (i believe), the first to perform, record and upload a FreshX song other than kait and i. And guess what? she sounds amazing.
Honestly, I just had a really lovely moment noticing what’s happened over this year. CC wrote a beautiful post called my heart is split, kait wrote a lyric, i set it, k+i bickered back and forth about how to finish it, and then suddenly it was done. And usually that’s all the happens, and in a few years maybe the song would have a life. But I made a pdf of the sheet music on my little mac, posted it here first, and we made a scrappy little recording. And Erin Nelson downloaded it, learned it, presumably found a piano and a pianist, and uploaded it here. I think that’s fucking rad.
So please! Other wonderful singers out there, let’s share the love, record some videos. Be like Erin Nelson, be a part of the weird creative cycle that is the freshman experiment. i swear, we’re all gonna win f’in pulitzers for this shit someday.

PS: Brian loves greasy food.
Fancy Restaurant + Excessive Sandwich From South of the Mason-Dixon Line = The Happiest Brian of Them All
In which Brian gets angry that his song doesn’t sound good on piano, picks up a guitar which he hasn’t played since high school, and makes something terrifying happen.
