-= In London and "Chasing Natalie," 1-31-07 =-
As usual, it's been a long time! But I'm still alive and well, and I'm actually in London for a few months, studying here at NYU's London campus. The best way to keep up with me will be MySpace, especially on my blog (by clicking the "Diary" link on the side). I'll try my best to update everyone on what has been going on out this way.
In other news, I've started a bit of a "documentary" and video diary while I'm here... It's called "Chasing Natalie," and it's technically me just running around like a goof, trying to relate things to Natalie Imbruglia. My ultimate goal, however, is to interview Natalie on film. I figure this is a good time to do it, since she's working on a new album and technically has been quiet for a while. I'll try to do weekly videos, plus some extras!
Other than that, not much has been going on. I've not written much lately, but back in New York, I have been hosting an open mic night out at a bar in Brooklyn called Stain. That's been exciting, and there's a video of me now on my MySpace page playing one of my older songs there! I've written a bit more, but no recordings lately. Anything I record, I'll definitely post! But until then... Enjoy my Introduction to the Natalie documentary, which I'm posting right here from MySpace. Catch everyone soon, and keep checking my blog for updates and possible pictures!

-= General Update on Life - Wednesday, July 12, 2006 =-
So I'm back! Working on recording a couple new demo tracks. Nothing too exciting, I'm kind-of giving up putting too much effort into the recordings until I get my home studio (so if you want good tracks, you should help me start a little fund). :) My hand is healed up! I can play guitar again with no problems. Well, I mean, other than the usual sucking at it...
I'm not gonna stay to type much more, though, because it's storming like crazy here today! But I hope to have a couple more photos up shortly, and even later on, some more recordings. I'll also add to the lyrics section gradually. Working on a new forum, but I suck at using phpBB, so it may take a while. I'll let you know how that goes! 'Til next time... Catch ya later!
-= Lyrics, Photos, Mash-Ups! - Thursday, June 29, 2006 =-
Well, it’s been a month, but I’m posting again! So don’t you fret. I posted some new lyrics up in the lyrics section, including a song I just wrote two days ago called “Coconut Song,” dedicated to my kitty and daughter, Coconut Fantastico. Also up are the lyrics to “Out Loud,” which is on MySpace in demo form (see the “Space” link in the side bar). Be warned that they may need spell checked! Let me know...
Also, I have a few new photos up since I last posted, but I didn’t bother to say anything about it until now... mostly because I’m just lazy. But hey, take what you can get! What am I running here, a chauffeur service? (Did I spell that right?)
Next note of news, I’ve been doing some mash-ups. Check them out on another MySpace page here: http://www.myspace.com/blaizezephyr... (Permanent link to come soon, maybe...)
On a final note, I won’t be playing guitar for a week or so because I cut my hand up on an Ikea glass when I was washing it. The damn thing shattered in my hands! And a corner of the broken glass jammed thru my pinkie on my right hand. I can still technically strum my guitar, but because I have popsicle sticks taped to my finger to keep it from bending (if it bends it bleeds), it taps the guitar when I strum it. Hmm... But hopefully I will be back and recording “Coconut Song” as a demo soon.
-= Lyrics Section - Monday, May 29, 2006 =-
I'm wondering if I should put up a lyrics section. Since this is primarily a music website, I guess I could use one of those. I just combine it with the "Music" section, though, and then have a separate section for my journalism starting in August (the stuff I write for NYU, or maybe the internship I'm shooting for). I don't want the sidebar being too cluttered, though, so I'll figure it out soon... I could do without the "older" section if need be. We'll see! Lyrics to come within the week, tho, as well as possibly a few more songs and pictures.
-= New MySpace Song - Sunday, May 28, 2006 =-
Just a quick note to those who care, I uploaded a demo of the song "Out Loud" that I just wrote like two days ago to MySpace. Go listen if you want! It's crappy. :) (Or at least the recording quality is...)
Also, I'm working on uploading a few new photos here within the next day or so, so keep checking out that page for the updates 'cuz I probably won't re-post the news after it's all done. As you know, everything is constantly under construction until noted otherwise!
-= Looking for Studios - Thursday, May 25, 2006 =-
So the site is just about finished, other than of course regular updates... I'm going to upload a few new photos, but for now, all the HTML I need is finished. Also, working on getting an ad-free forum, probably from phpbb.com or something like that. Bravenet is just temporary. Although I will keep their counter up on the main page for now. Any suggestions you have? Pop me an e-mail!
Also, Does anybody here know of or own a music studio I can use for free or very very cheap? All I have is my computer, and I'd like to do so much more to actually record a small album. Found a cool site that can help me upload the tracks to iTunes or other online stores. You guys would buy it, right? ;)
-= Welcome - Thursday, May 18, 2006 =-
Welcome to the new drewkolar.com! Can someone help me with HTML? I want to update this like a Blog... Soon to come: hopefully music finally!
