Solo Album - An Update

I've surprised myself in the last couple of days by actually working on my solo album - I suppose it's not that surprising given that I'm unemployed and surrounded by musical instruments, but I assumed I'd just be lying in bed all day watching DVD's. Anyway, mainly for myself, here's how the album is progressing:

1. Intro - ridiculous electro-metal creation; needs better drums but otherwise done.
2. Unnamed Song With Good Riff - good riff (duh) but needs lyrics, better drums and a bunch of other stuff.
3. Sheffield - my acclaimed (by some bloke on MSN) new acoustic track about being jealous of Arctic Monkeys.
4. Rats - vocally ambitious but surprisingly un-shit Radiohead/Underworld rip-off; needs better drums (recurring theme...) but sounding better than expected.

......

And then I'm left picking through the remains of failures and unwritten songs that exist only as titles. Still, at this rate there's a finite chance I'll have finished the album by the time I leave for San Francisco. Ooh, that's quite exciting.
