Tonight I’ll be back over at TB’s. Apparently we’re re-recording a track called I Am because there’s something hideously wrong with it, something so insidious and evil that I FAILED TO NOTICE IT AT ALL WHEN I RECORDED BACK-UP VOCALS ON IT THE WEEK BEFORE LAST. What this means is that the CD master has […]

I managed to underdress rather spectacularly today, don’t know what I was thinking. I’ve got a long-sleeved top on, but Birks with no socks. It’s raining and overcast and cold out. I had to bring a sweater in from the Jeep to wrap my feet up in under my desk. I went to J’s house […]

I’m so proud of Steven! (Er, Derby.) I adore this song. It needs about half a million dollars worth of production, of course, but if it had that it would basically be a hit. It’s so fun to have your friends on your iPod. Seriously. Dude. ——–

Recording is finished! For me, at least. I think they’ll still be laying down additional tracks (guitar solos, mandolin, flute, violin, etc.) and finishing production & mixing until Wednesday. Next Friday we’re meeting at TB’s for a pizza-slash-listening party. After that I have no idea how long it will be until I actually get a […]

This probably won’t make you laugh – it was something of a location joke (i.e. “you had to be there”) – but I nearly wet myself: Last night, recording. We were in between takes. I’d been giving J grief about his love of reverb – he’s so used to hearing reverb on his voice that […]

Session number two at TB’s house last night went from six to 10:45. We got two songs in the can… even though you can’t really say “in the can” any more, since no one uses tape – it all goes straight onto a hard drive. But still, we recorded Om Namah Shivaya Om and Glory […]

Last night I went to TB’s house with J and the rest of the band to record. We didn’t finish until 11:30, and I was so wired afterward that I didn’t get to sleep ’til 12:30. And then Mr. Bread woke me up about nine times during the night. I am so sleepy this morning. […]

After work yesterday, I drove home and made a huge platter of nachos for dinner, which Brett and I ate – as usual – in front of the TV. (Brett won’t eat at the table, which is why our dining table is pushed against a wall in the kitchen and doesn’t even have chairs in […]

Friday morning I went to Jonas’ house and auditioned for him and Greg. They liked me, so now I’m busy for the next three weeks: I’ll be rehearsing Tues-Thurs. nights next week, then recording Tues-Thurs. the next two weeks. It’ll be a nice little project. Not hugely challanging musically, which is good since I’m totally […]

I downloaded this track off the Internet. It’s a bootleg. It says it’s “Prince with Miles Davis – Live at Paisley Park.” Now, it’s definitely Prince. And it’s definitely live. But where’s Miles Davis? The hook in the beginning of the track is probably a keyboard, and the horn scat at the end is a […]
