In Case The Well Runs Dry

I’m deep into my National Solo Album Month project and…
Okay, I’m lying. I’ve actually been at work a lot, and watching TV or playing GTA: San Andreas or Katamari Damacy when I’m not. I’m going to have to really push it when I’m on vacation. Mostly, I’ve been working on recording the first song, getting to know the recording software and hardware, brushing up on my guitar playing. and thinking up ideas for more songs. I figure I need about ten songs, and I’ve got ideas for five so far. So, if any of youse got some unused song titles you wanna throw my way, I might just be able to use ‘em for inspiration…
Here’s the ones I’ve got so far, in various stages of non-completion:
Lighten Up! (the one I’m currently recording)
Greektown
The Heat Was Hot
Children Need Attention
Faster Than You
All titles and songs subject to change without notice…
Latre.

I was trying to get Joe to cover the "Saturday Night Live" Christmas song for his solo album — you know, the one that goes, "I wish it was Christmas todaa-ay! I wish it was Christmas todaa-ay!" and has Horatio Sanz playing that little bitty guitar. For some reason, he declined. So I’m offering it to you. C’mon, it’s so seasonally appropriate for an album made in November!
During the campaign season, I tried writing a song called "(I Wanna Live In) A Swing State" (sample lyric: "California is ignored/We don’t see Bush or Kerry/I guess the Prez gave up on us/When we allowed the gays to marry") but I never finished it.
