Get Primal

Have you ever had one of those days? You know the ones when for whatever reason you just don`t feel like doing a thing or just can`t get any motivation or creative juices flowing! They can be inconvenient especially when we usually have way too many things to accomplish to have one of these days. Of course we have our various caffiene delivery systems, our favorite get up and go music but again some days it`s still just not quite there.
In the music industry singers have been taped 20 feet high on pillars to hit those verses just right, drummers homophobically taunted by placing naked bandmates in the room or strategic placement of intimidatingly beautiful women close enough to pull them out of the state of studio fright or pressure to perform they are feeling at the moment. One day I was working in a studio running on my usual 4 hours sleep getting set up for the days work, everyone else awaiting my signal that we were ready to go. At that moment I faced the fact that I was having one of those days. "I`m the producer...the boss" I thought to myself, I need to get everyone else up to 150% keep them there and stay there with them until they can`t take it any more I can`t have one of those days! I knew drastic measures were in order!
I rounded up the two dogs on the property riled `em up but good and proceeded to take off on a tear around the grounds for a good 10 minutes or so over under and through brush and debris, sliding tumbling and sprinting until I was good and winded covered in dirt and bleeding! Finally I was ALIVE! Living breathing in an almost blissfully ignorant state of hightened awareness that our primitive ancestors must have often reveled in! A basic concept that when used is sure to stimulate ones person...alter the brain chemistry. Get Primal! Remember primal screams..playing on the same basic principles.
