Why Do I Care?

Our a cappella group is trying to come up with a name for our CD. We formed a CD committee - three people in charge of the entire 'production' side of the CD. Thankfully I'm not on it since I'm busy mixing, but why do I give such a crap about the CD title? Maybe because the two options we were given to vote on were:

1) Flair - as in the choice red items we wore at one show. One show. And hello - "flair" as in the "flair" that Jennifer Aniston and her co-workers have to wear at their restaurant... a minimum of 15 pieces. Interesting - there are 15 of us in the group (or there were when we recorded).

2) Better Than Karaoke - ok that's just insulting. It's like saying "take a form of music that's really shitty, and say we're better than it". It's like "feel bad for us, buy our CD because hey - we're better than karaoke".

I went overboard sending suggestions, phrases that might spark good titles, and not to say my ideas are any better (because at the end of the day we all have our own opinions) but could someone please help me not give a rat's ass about this? If the name sucks, so be it - at least I'm responsible for the music part only.

On a non-music sucking topic, I went to see Duwende with my friend Sara last night. They were amazing. I sat there with a shit-eating grin on my face thinking "Now THIS is the level of a cappella I'd love to do" but then again, guys aren't as much fun to gossip with as girls. Then again, most of the gossip I do is whining and complaining about a very small number of people in my group (emphasis on small).

Tomorrow - our first gig since December. This is an easy one - 3 songs at a brunch. Phew - no solos for me to screw up!
