i had always planned to have a little blog while i record these EPs, somehow though, its a month in THIS is the first post. for you, dear blog reader, this means less of my whining and less of my crap as the last thirty days are distilled into something able to be downed in a single sitting.
like this:
dana (drums), me (fear of heights) and nate (keys, sherbert) on top of a water tower near the pyramid mall
other hightlights include, in chronological order:
- cheap, cheap beer. eg. a carton of 12 stellas costs $16USD. yum.
- my first live IY experience, shared with 150 members of a danish choir.
- pumpkin carving and the subsequent removal of rotting pumpkins from the house :D
- jumping in the lake, mid-october.
- the discovery of new music with zox and the slip
- halloween friday and my first almost frat party. beer pong with fuckface from princeton.
- a ben folds concert with enjoyment factor not in the slightest bit diminished by the blandness of support band (phantom planet) or my stomach ache possibly caused by said support band.
- a selection of late night's on the dock smoking and chatting.
- beginning to record some songs i've written which already sound better than i could ever had imagined.
recording update
guitar and drums for all five songs on the first EP done.
my scratch vocals continue to astound by reaching new levels of out of tune-ness on each listen.
in the next two days john will record bass and we'll all start sketching out ideas for the second EP.
chris' favourite part of this whole experiment is that fact that the desk and the instruments are in seperate rooms, he this gets to play audio-God and talk at me through this microphone
chris and dana experiment with miking patterns for the drums
in the next week i'm going to post some mp3s of the tracks pre final mix, but check back daily for more photos and general gabbery from me.
love to you all,
