My problem is starting lyrics, I'm so slack it's unbelievable... I watched a documentary on Sarah Blasko last night, showed her as artist in residence writing a bunch of songs in a theatre... It was really interesting to watch her songwriting process, I need to work harder... I think I've got some really nice things in progress but I'm very lazy about finishing and finessing stuff, maybe that's just my mile wide punk rock streak...
I've recently tilted from all out noise guitar with minimalist, sub-Suicide rhythm sections to languorous, romantic pop a la Dennis Wilson/Chris Bell...

Me too - when I start to finesse/finish stuff it tends to kill the original takes.
I over add /tweak so end up with multiple versions or one muddy mess. I suppose its a 'living' organic thing and can't be tied down.
As for lyrics - maybe its age but I don't feel comfortable writing / expressing the things that I did when younger - feels a bit ridiculous tbh.don't want to end up like this ... :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT0ZPZjevVw

Hope so dude. There's lot to be said for having a really simple set-up (4 track and cheap mic) ready to go at a moment's notice. Perhaps I should start using garageband on my phone. Although to be honest most of my problem at the moment is finishing lyrics so not sure that would help...
