"Podcast" is the Brand Spanking New Song From Colin Gawel

/

Hey guys, I know it has been a little quiet on the new music front for a while but it is not for a lack of effort. Music, or more specifically, rock n roll music is, always my top priority. While I haven't released anything new since the last Watershed record, Brick and Mortar,  I have stockpiled a number tunes and with any luck I hope to bang out something new every three or four months for your listening pleasure from this point forward.

Why the delay? Well to be honest, the whole "Hitless Wonder/Brick and Mortar" Record/Book/Tour drained my batteries pretty low and then I got the bright idea to start Pencilstorm.com which while a labor of love, takes a slug of my daily creative juice as well. And then there was the whole "Why Isn't Cheap Trick in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame? project. Oh, and I am a Dad, Husband, and coffee shop owner as well. 

But throughout all of it, I learned some basic garage band skills which allows me to work on a song while drinking beer in my kitchen. Eventually, I take that song to a real studio where real musicians help out and Mike Landolt sprinkles magic pixie dust all over it making it sound kick ass.

"Wait a second, "Podcast" was recorded in your kitchen on garage band? But it sounds so good?"

That is correct. A good lesson for all you DIYs' why getting a pro like Mike Landolt involved can make all the difference in the world..

Or to sum up my latest three step recording strategy:

1) I dick around with a song on Garage band in my kitchen while drinking beer.

2) I take tracks to Curryhouse so Rick Kinsinger and myself can dick around with the song. 

3) Mike Landolt mixes the song and it sounds like a million bucks.

Speaking of a million bucks, while I am not hardcore about making people pay for new music, it is worth mentioning that there is a cost involved for all of this so any $$ is always appreciated though not expected. Bandcamp allows you to name your own price so it's up to you to decide. More importantly, If you dig, I need you to actively help spread the word. You know, share/tweet that shit around yo?
