If cliche chord progressions inside your head are driving you nuts, you can always get rid of them by doing a fast improvisation and exhausting them (Then you can try something different without the cliche re-emerging!) As I havent been on board for a while, here is one such done yesterday morning. Audio file is at http://www.soundclick.com/flyingtadpole, go to "music" and look for "April Monday". Here is the raw .not file; other than cutting the blank bars out, removing four bars in the middle and speeding up a bit from the original MM=120, .not file is as played in at the piano.
