New original music recording plans

Some of my friends/family know that I play guitar, played with a band many years ago.  In recent years I've basically dabbled in home recording, coming up with instrumental pieces built around a drum machine pattern but not really coming up with finished songs, more like fragments or pieces of music that might sound alright if fully developed.  I think a hang-up for me is that I've been worried too much about making a polished, produced "record" instead of having fun with the process.  Anyway, to cut to the chase, I've been thinking that if I can come up with several complete songs that are of short duration (2 minutes, 30 seconds, max) that should be fairly doable.  So, hopefully I can come up with at least one new tune over the upcoming long weekend (is it Friday yet?!) and post to Facebook for y'all to hear. 

Well, here it is already the month of May and what a year it's been so far - the months are really flyin' by.  What I'm into currently is creating Spotify playlists! (well, actually I've been into this since discovering Spotify back around November).   As I type these words, I've got my newest playlist cranked up:  "30 Cool 70's/80's Songs - Week of May 21-25", consisting of a short-list of 30 specially selected songs that'll rock your world. This playlist will be updated every week (or maybe a song or two will change every day :-)  Here's the link (if you have Spotify/Facebook, just click this and you can access it) 30 Cool 70's/80's Songs (Week of May 21-25)  Decided to do a short list like this to give a listening experience with a more "live dj" kind of feel (less random) even though there's no dj to be heard I'd like the songs to sound like they're being picked right before you hear them.  My enjoyment of this playlisting stuff is a direct result of being a lifelong listener of the radio coupled with a great dissatisfaction with what's on the radio these days (including XM/Sirius) - just call me a frustrated disc jockey!  Feel free to comment if you like this or have ideas for improvement, song ideas, etc.  Thanks for checking out the tunes!
