First off,
sorry for taking so long to get this posted...
Last week I ended up leaving California a month early to come back to Tennessee to start recording my new album.
I had a great time in CA, but where I was recording just wasn't a good environment for recording...
so I packed up shop and came back home :)
On the drive back I was quite freaked out to be driving through snow while it was negative ten degrees in New Mexico, to my previous knowledge I didn't think it snowed in deserts.
(A.M. drive through NM)
Anyways.
It's great to be back home now, I spent a month trying to start the new album in Encinitas and just couldn't get started,... but now I'm already a few songs into recording now that I'm back home.
Oh! And I was worried because I still hadn't came up with a name for the new album (now let me point out, that this "new album" I'm talking about is the one that will be coming out this Summer, NOT the one coming in April, the one for April is already done), but on the drive back to TN I finally came up with a name for it, and I'm soooooooo stoked on it.
Let's see...
what else has happened in the last few days?...
Really, not a whole lot has happened...
I spent the weekend settling back into Murfreesboro (and by settling in I mean that I went to a couple of parties and became inehbriated, ha, good times).
My room's a damn mess right now, with all the recording equipment scattered everywhere.
I kind of just wake up around 9 each day and record until about 6 or 7 now, so progress is finally being made and I'm quite happy with the outcome so far.
By the way, I suppose I should mention that there are some new shirts available now at my online store (the little beauties are pictured below).... also, in literally a day or two there will be a new tote back available that has the same design as the Make Love Not War shirt.
More new merch coming soon ;)
(Both of these shirts available now at store.backseatgoodbye.com)
Other than that, one thing I've been trying to really get together is plans for my book....
I've got a good bit of the actual book ready, but still haven't decided on a release date or anything.... BUT I'm glad to say that later this week (or maybe just early next week) I'll be sharing the book's title and some previews of a few poems from the book as well. I'm also going to try my best to get a final release date figured out to share with you too, so just be on the lookout :)
To wrap up this blog I'll share a bit of new lyrics with you from a song I haven't given a title to yet, here you go....
Everybody knows where the good kids go
Don't say it too fast, go ahead, take a deep breath
In between the angels and the lightning bolts
Just close your eyes and count to ten
I took all your t-shirts
And painted a big blue dot
Where your heart was
Wrote a little note that said
"This chest is vacant."
Is it bad that I miss the old you?
I hope you all have a lovely Valentines Day,
as for me, I have a date with my tv and Everybody Loves Raymond dvds :)
With Love,
Chad
P.S. - Here's my newly remodeled Bob Dylan poster that hangs on my bedroom door,
I had to make some changes since I'm recording now :)

OH GOD. my dad just slipped on an inch thick chunk of ice.
maybe some backseat goodbye will get him better.
it's always better to record in a place that you love
and a place that makes you comfortable.
anyways. stay warm. it's freaking INSANE in PA. On Saturday it was 50° and sunny
today it's 13° and sleeting.

i pretty much attacked my best friend in the school parking lot with a huge hug one fine day. she asked me what the big deal is.
'what do you think i've been waiting for to come to memphis for the past three years or so?'
"...... that boy who sings the boys&girls song?"
she guessed right.

I must say I'm envious of your Bob Dylan poster, most certainly.
I can't wait for the book! Oh my earth I am excited.
That bit of lyrics is lovely. You have a way with words good sir.
I have a date with The Perks of Being a Wallflower for a third time Valentine's Day. :}
that's fantastic to hear that you've discovered a name for the new album! I sure can't wait. and, I'm working on purchasing one of the new t shirts. I just haven't decided which one, yet. but, like I said before, I'm glad you've come up with a title! and I'm even more glad (glad-er?) that the recording process is successful! have a fantastic week!
Im really excited for your poetry book even though in your song, technicolor eyes you say you dont like it, but o well....I love your music, i remember the first time i listened to it i was so excited it just makes me smile!
gah, i absolutly love those new shirts.
chad your gonna make me go broke.
but ehh, its worth it.
& btw i thought that B. Dylan poster was cute.
just another thing to put a smile on my face.
love that dylan poster.
what do you think of the new jack johnson album?
could you make the tote say "make music not war" instead? i think that would be cute. and more fitting.
You're not very good at this whole Tuesday blog thing.
