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 […]
Brett seems convinced that we’ve never before done what we did last night, which was go to bed for the purpose of Doing It, and then not Do It. It’s not that we didn’t do anything, it’s just that we never got around to Doing It. Am I making myself clear? WE GOT DISTRACTED. ALONG […]
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 […]
Today I was surfing knitting blogs, and ended up at menknit.net, which is – obviously – a site for men who knit. Men have been knitting forever; in fact, they most probably invented it. Yet it’s been considered ‘women’s work’ probably since the Victorian times [that’s my guess], so men who knit don’t have much […]
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 […]
I got a letter from Dear Local Hospital’s lawyers. It said I had five days to remove the blog (yes, the ENTIRE BLOG) or they’d pursue… something. I wrote a letter back, but then decided to have Wally vett it before I actually did anything. I drove over and dropped it off with his secretary […]
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. […]
