today was an incredible day. I went to 37 Studios, to record the first song off my EP, "Turn Back Time" my dad and I arrived at around 12:30 noon. Aaron and Gaby were already there, so we got right to work. While Aaron set up the mics and I tuned, me, Aaron and my dad talked about some stuff and we talked to Gaby a bit too. Then we got straight down to busy. I tracked all the guitar in about 4 or 5 takes. Aaron was impressed by how quickly I was able to use the metronome. Honestly, so was I. the first time I used one was Tuesday (yesterday), and then today I was in the studio. ha. When he polished some mistaked, we set up to record vocals. After a dry run, I noticed I missed a section on guitar, so we fixed that up. At this point, my dad left to go finish up some errands (no not aarons;)). Then we started on vocals. I recorded most of the vocals in 1 or 2 takes per section (verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, bridge, chorusx2). afterwards, I went into the soundbooth. Aaron played around with some mixing, and while we chatted. He's going to make me a few different verisons and he's going to just play with it and have some fun. He's adding some drums, and some backup vocals and some other fun stuff. My dad arrived back after a little with tidings of Starbucks for Aaron, Gaby, and me. Then we just talked for a while. Aaron said how much he liked my sound and we talked about What happened in vegas for a little. Afterwards we set up plans for recording again (probably the fourteen of december.)
All in all it was extremely cool and productive day.
a few extra deets.
I'm recording a 4-5 song EP titled "Lyrics In A Notebook."
the first four I already have written, the fifth Aaron and I will be writing and recording together.
The EP should drop Winter 2009. Preferably, Febuary. I'll let you know when I know more specificly.
I'm singing and playing guitar on the EP.
Aaron is my producer, backup vocalist (on the EP).
I record each song for $150.
** don't ask me to help "hook you up" it's not hard to find you're own way with a good support team. **
kay sweet! (:
STAY TUNNED FOR MY EP!

This is real, This is me.
So much has happened in a matter of... days.
Friday was a huge milestone in my life, but not really. I mean, I've performed for people before, I've played in public before, I've done it before, but Friday was the first time I've done it in a while. Jet back to eighth grade talent show. That was probably the first time I REALLY showed anyone I had talent. Last year, I was in a few bands. Nothing to big, some of 'em had a few shows here and there, but it wasn't a big thing. But it did help me. Without those bands, I wouldn't be half the musician I am today. I wouldn't have worked so hard to get to where I am today. I never had seen me, having a chance, until then. Now after my 'first' come back show, I see I can REALLY do it! I have some shows in December coming up, more are getting planned and are in the works. I have some planned for January, and my BIG show the last day of February, which I'm excited as hell for!
and then Sunday, which is.. today. This morning I had church, and I happen to be in the church choir, which by the way, it full of children who aren't the best and really sort of bug me. Then afterwards I met with another Musician, most of whom you all know as Aaron Vegas, and I auditioned for him to record at his studio. He seemed to really enjoy my sound and was eager to start our project, my EP CD "Lyrics In A Notebook" (should be out sometime Winter 2009.) We're heading to work on the first song, tentatively titled "Turn back Time." on Wednesday. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but also some fun. I mean, I've wanted to do this since I was practically born. Aaron gave me the homework assignment of buying a metronome, so mom, dad, lee lee, and myself headed over to Guitar Center in Southfield and purchased one (you happy Aaron? ;)). While there, they have this room of totally acoustic guitars. If you knew me, you'd know I'm a HUGEEE guitar fanatic, so of course I went inside, but you'd also know I'm a lefty, so what are they chances they'd actually have an acoustic left handed? Well, my mom just happened to also be in there, and she had been talking to one of the people that worked there, she had already found my sister the Banjo, yes BANJO, she's always wanted, and I mean, always. She's wanted to play for... two years now? someone buy her one and shut her up. But she was also talking to the dude about me. And the fact that I really need and Acoustic with an Electric pick up, that's left handed, and NO ONE seems to have one. Now if you've ever been to Guitar Center, they have roughly 900 guitars in their store. Of those 900, they have a little under 12 left handed. And of those, 2 acoustics with an electric pick up.
Well, I know what my BIG Christmas present is now. It's a previously owned one, but I'm not one to care much about that kinda stuff. As long as it sounds good and is left handed I'll play it. Heck, as long as it sounds good, I'll play it, left strung or right... I'm not the best right though.
All in all though, this weekend has been mildly insane. It's been a real eye opener. I mean, I can seriously do what I want, and I have a foundation of people behind me who will support me. At my concert on Friday, there was about 45 people. It's not a real big venue either. I mean, it's a coffee shop. But, before I performed there, on any other Friday night they had around 8 to 12 people. I don't know about you, but I see a drastic increase. And If I can get that into a small area, that the people who attended probably 90 percent of the people there had never heard of the venue, imagine with me what I could do with a place that people are more familiar with. Possibilities are honestly, just endless.
My dad says, "You're not going to have this great of a weekend in a while." I saw heck with that. The next time I perform, which is schuduled to be December 5th, I'm giving it my all. I made this weekend amazing. But I can make any weekend I set my mind to amazing as well.
This blog is not meant to "brag" or boast about my life or make me seem like "oh my gosh, Laura Jean's SOOOO LUCKY." because really, I don't think I am. I honestly can't STAND it when people say that to me. It's probably the most hated thing I've ever heard. I mean, really. If you wanted anything in this blog you could have it. A concert. You need people. a venue. and talent. and probably a P.A. System and an instrument. Recording studio. Ohkay, well you need a recording studio. and someone willing to work with you. oh and talent. that's a biggie.
What I'm trying to say is. If your dream is singing, GREAT! get out there and do it. Your hairbrush won't tell everyone how amazing you are. You can. Your friends can. Your family can. You fans can. So go out there and make something of yourself too. If your dream isn't singing, then obviously, you don't need to go make a concert happen. But see, my dad just got fired from his job last Friday. He told most of his friends and the response has been overall the same. "great! now you can do what you're SUPPOSE to be doing. You're a promoter." which is why I'm blessed to have a dad like him. He can support me in my needs. And I can return the help to him back.
K, I'm cleared out more. I have a room in my head to be able to focus more. I have so much homework I have to get caught up or all of this will be cut off as fast as you can say "WHAT?" I have school in the morning. I have to wake up and continue with life. But there's an extra special shimmer in my eyes now. I see a goal. I see it being reached. My dad has this "famous" quote of his in our house...
"Persistence is the only way the world knows I am serious about my goals."

Music In My Soul.
Sometimes... I really don't understand why I do the things I do. For example, music. I used to be completely obsessed with this ONE band, for almost 2 years. They were my absolute everything. The entire time though, I was really embaressed of being such a big fan. I mean, I met them, many times, and went to concerts, spent money, everything a real fan should do, but yet I still wasn't happy. I also had the worst depression the past two years. I half feel it was partly from that band. Stupid, yes. But the past few months I've learned to open my ears, and open my heart to an enormous amount of totally different music than I've ever listened to before. And I find I enjoy it more than I did before. I've always listened to music 24/7. But two years ago, it would be the same band that I listen to, to those 24 hours a day. Theses days my musical interests stretch all across the board. And I'm a hell of a lot less picky. I won't judge a band by their name, or by what they 'describe' their sound as. I'll listen to it myself and form my own opinion of it. I like the fact that I do that, because instead of basing what people think about them, I have my own ideas of how it is. I've also seen a drastic change in my concert attending history. In the last year alone I've been to well over 40 concerts, seeing more than 60 acts perform, and still there's more to come in the end of November and December, as well as I already plan on attending some in January and February. Another thing I don't understand why I do. I put up barriers. I second guess myself all the time. I'm always thinking "oh god, they're talking about me." when they totally aren't. It's pretty bad sometimes. I spent all of last year hiding myself. I spent most of my days in my room or hiding on the computer, not spending time with real people, but with "online" friends. When I could have been making real friends, I hid. It was a stupid move, that honestly these days I regret. Because of that I missed a hell of a lot of opportunities. I totally gave up because of 'The Move' that honestly, I look at it and I only live 30 minutes away from where I used to. I stopped trying in school. I stopped trying in making friends. I stopped trying in life. I was sort of on the sucidal side, and I didn't know how to get help. I had no one to go to. I had no friends to talk to that could completely understand me, except my "online" friends. Then this summer I made a few mistakes and pissed off a dozen or so of them, and I learned that I ultimately couldn't trust them either. This year, I'm stating right now I'm making the change. I'm changing my attitude before I get any worse. I'm opening up. I don't want to be known as the kid in the corner. I want people to see me, and see the LAURA JEAN I want to be. This year, I'm working on my own musical career. I'm going to be having concerts throughout the year and start recording a demo CD. I pray that even if we're not amazingly close friends, you'll give my music a chance. I've been a musician since 8th grade. But I've never really had the full confidence to do much than talent shows, and smaller shows here are there. This year, I'm stepping out of the box I've sheltered myself into. I'm breaking out. If you don't like me, that's totally fine. If you do, then that's great, please show your support in me. I hope people learn from my mistake and give anything and everything they come across the chance. They may just be a few steps short from a shooting star... <3

You are the one the one that lies close to me, whispers hello I miss you quite terribly...
SOOOOO yesterday, Alix and I went to the Hellogoodbye, Ace Enders, Play Radio Play!, Nevershoutnever! concert. it's a dandy story if you'd like to hear about it, continue reading...
so, on tuesday, I told my mom she needed to buy the tickets, and I had the window open, but I guess someone went on the computer between me and her, cause she never did, so on Thursday we went to ticketmaster to get tickets, and it was sold out. so my mom called the venue and asked if it was really sold out and they said they might add more rows, call back on friday morning. so she did and they said that if you get their early they MIGHT have some. and then we called right before we were going to leave to pick up Alix and they said they would NOT have any at the door. I called up Alix and told her there were NONE, and we wouldn't get it, but she had faith and confidence and finally convinced me to go. We get down there around 4:45PM/5PM - ish, and there's about 22 people in line in front of us. We ask them if they have tickets and for the most part, none of them did. We went inside the Magic Stick to ask if they were selling tickets and they said they only had a few left, first come first serve basis... So we went back in line. Alix, smart oh smart Alix, wore her moccasins to the concert, in the snowy/rainy weather and didn't wear socks so she pretty much almost got frostbite. She went inside a dozen or so times, and I kinda just stayed in line. Then this car showed up and people were like 'WHO IS THAT?!?!?!" and i was like, "oh, it's nevershoutnever!" totally joking of course, and then low and behold it really was christofer drew's car, and he walked past us, like 3 times... haha i said hi to him.. :p then i got really cold, so i went inside for a little bit, and just so happens to be Forest, the lead singer of Hellogoodbye standing there buying some pizza. ha, random. I talked to him for a little, then I talked to these two other people, with Alix. we got talking and then said "this is a stupid question but, are you in hellogoodbye?" and one of them said, "I'm not, but Ryan is." and I was like, "ohh, I like, love your music, but I never look at pictures of you guys." and he's like "oh, well that's a good thing, then you like us for the music, not for our looks." and i'm like "exactly." then he asked us if we had tickets, and me and alix are like, "no, we were gunna buy them at the door, but he says only like the first few people in line are getting 'em" and so Ryan was like, oh I can get you on the guest list, just write down your names on some paper. sooo, I just so happened to have one last promo card about myself in my pocket, and alix asked 'em if we could bring in two friends and they're like, just write your names plus 1, so i wrote "Laura Jean + 1 Alix H(her last name.) +1" And they read my promo card and were like, "aww to bad we won't be here for it." haha it was funny. and we called our friend, whom still said he wasn't going after that, so we took these two people my mom had been talking to for like three hours in line named Billy and Vericonia. sooo, we got our hands "x"ed and then we were told to go into the line that doesn't have tickets, and I was like, we're on the guest list, so this person had my card, and she's like ohkay, do you have ID and i'm like, uhh, flip it around, it's a promo card about me. and so we went in for free (yay guest lists. ;)). and we went right up to the stage. and Alix went straight to the merch line. so, I sat down on the stage, cause i was tired of standing in line forever, and i talked to this girl next to me and she was like, yea, it's my birthday today, and i was like, awww! i'll get nevershoutnever! to sing happy birthday to you. anddd, then these people said to me, "hey don't you know what happened in vegas?" and i was like, "yea" and they're like "ohhh they're right over there.." so i got up and i saw a hoodie that said "do you think your orginal" on the back, and i was like, "aaron?" and he turned around and was like "Laura!" and gave me a hug and he brought me over to Nick, Steve, and Dylan, and was like "Everytimee!!" and i gave them all hugs and we chatted for a bit and Aaron gave me a what happened in vegas card, so i gave him one of my promo cards, and he was like, "darn! it's the same day as the all time low, the maine concert, otherwise i'd be there, i'm gunna keep this though." and i told him about my big show in february coming up and he's like, maybe i'll go to that one. then i went back to my 'seat' on the stage. and alix came back and finally the concert started with nevershoutnever! he was amazing, i sat on the stage his entire set, haha it was pretty fun. ;) he did amazing, after his first song, i did get him to sing happy birthday, cause im just that good. <3. and he told some stories and stuff, he was just adorable. he did amazing too. he's the biggest hippie i know, i swear. when he was done alix wanted to walk around, so we got out and stuff. and then i went to the merch and got a nevershoutnever shirt and cd. Thennnn, play radio play! was next. they were really good. i had never listened to them prior, and they were good. haha. their lead singer reminded me of We The Kings's lead singer. after them, it was Ace Enders, and for them we went up closer to the mosh-pit area. about a song after we got there, Aaron Vegas and Nick (whiv) started a mosh pit, it was pretty funny. we got really close to the stage, like four or so rows away. and then i saw reece and river, two of the kids from slg that go to my school, so i said hey... haha. after ace enders was done, me and alix got back out. and we bought some water. then hellogoodbye was on, so we ventured back into the mosh pit. it was realllll fun. they did really good. untill, this girl next to me started punching me like a maniac, i'm like what the fuck? and she just punched me more. so i started to like leave, cause it was like 10:30ish and alix had said her mom was coming at like 10, hahah, and i got out, and gave aaron a hug bye, and then i lost her, and lost all service on my phone.. so i tried to find her again which was terribly insanely hard. and i finally got service and found her, but her mom wasn't coming untill 11, but we didn't want to try to get back into the mosh, so we stood by the meet and greet line for nevershoutnever!, and after a while we got bored of it, so we went to the pool table area. and then alix noticed austin waving to us, he's also in slg, and we went over and said hey. then we went back over to the meet and greet line. and we saw the lead singer of Ace Enders, and we talked to him for a little bit and got photos and he signed this promo card, i felt awkward getting his autograph, i dont get autographs these days... and the concert finally ended at like 11:20-ish, and alix's mom texted her and was like, im here come out RIGHT NOW! and we tried waiting a few more minutes, but her mom came in, and she made us leave, so we didn't get to 'meet' christofer drew. it was sad. i'm still sad. he's my favorite singer. i'll meet him at his next concert though. <3.
yea, it was really great show. (: if you weren't there you deffff missed out.
so, on tuesday, I told my mom she needed to buy the tickets, and I had the window open, but I guess someone went on the computer between me and her, cause she never did, so on Thursday we went to ticketmaster to get tickets, and it was sold out. so my mom called the venue and asked if it was really sold out and they said they might add more rows, call back on friday morning. so she did and they said that if you get their early they MIGHT have some. and then we called right before we were going to leave to pick up Alix and they said they would NOT have any at the door.

Thennnn, play radio play! was next. they were really good. i had never listened to them prior, and they were good. haha. their lead singer reminded me of We The Kings's lead singer. after them, it was Ace Enders, and for them we went up closer to the mosh-pit area. about a song after we got there, Aaron Vegas and Nick (whiv) started a mosh pit, it was pretty funny. we got really close to the stage, like four or so rows away. and then i saw reece and river, two of the kids from slg that go to my school, so i said hey... haha. after ace enders was done, me and alix got back out. and we bought some water. then hellogoodbye was on, so we ventured back into the mosh pit. it was realllll fun. they did really good. untill, this girl next to me started punching me like a maniac, i'm like what the fuck? and she just punched me more. so i started to like leave, cause it was like 10:30ish and alix had said her mom was coming at like 10, hahah, and i got out, and gave aaron a hug bye, and then i lost her, and lost all service on my phone.. so i tried to find her again which was terribly insanely hard. and i finally got service and found her, but her mom wasn't coming untill 11, but we didn't want to try to get back into the mosh, so we stood by the meet and greet line for nevershoutnever!, and after a while we got bored of it, so we went to the pool table area. and then alix noticed austin waving to us, he's also in slg, and we went over and said hey. then we went back over to the meet and greet line. and we saw the lead singer of Ace Enders, and we talked to him for a little bit and got photos and he signed this promo card, i felt awkward getting his autograph, i dont get autographs these days... and the concert finally ended at like 11:20-ish, and alix's mom texted her and was like, im here come out RIGHT NOW! and we tried waiting a few more minutes, but her mom came in, and she made us leave, so we didn't get to 'meet' christofer drew. it was sad. i'm still sad. he's my favorite singer. i'll meet him at his next concert though. <3.
yea, it was really great show. (: if you weren't there you deffff missed out.
The harder I try the harder I fall, life's got me spinning in circles...
so. I got lazy, and never posted about the concert on the 1st of november.
it was amazing. So Let Go!, These guys from my school played first and they did really well. it was their first show, and it was incredible. then Kao Layor went on. I didn't really watch their set though. They sounded pretty ohkay. After was Lets Get It, which was amazing. I really really love their music, and after they finished I talked to their guitarist, Tyler for a good roughly hour, he was really cool, and I got their demo cd and it was great. Then The Arrival went on. I really enjoyed them. they have a lot of good songs. Afterwards, me and Alix went around and took pictures with peoples from the bands and stuff, while ASecondTooLate went on. They're pretty hardcore screamo, and I have their demo cd, but I've never listened to it... I dunno, I will sometime. ;) haha, I've been to two shows that they've played at. then we went home....
good show.
then this friday, Alix and I went to another So Let Go! show. They did really well, but River, Austin, Paul, Matt, and Reece were all saying they did pretty bad. Ehhh, I wasn't on stage, so I don't know what exactly they didn't do so hot, but it was pretty grand for their second concert. We stayed and talked to the guys for a while, while a few other bands performed, whom I don't remember their band names... like A Phiniox Architext and Red I Dead or something.. haha. they were good. Screamo, but good. ;)
