Kings & Queens

Final notes, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor.

We’re mixing. Final notes have been made. And its time to commit. Admittedly, this process has been almost a little to hurried because of time/financial constraints but at some point you have to just let things go and accept that perhaps no-one else will hear that the backwards guitar sweep is not quite present enough, or that the vocal is too out front in that part. Fly my babies, fly.

Mastering tomorrow. I’m going to go listen in the car, then the house, then the ipod, underwater etc… as instructed. Thanks Dana – the mixing has really brought the songs back to me.

I was Bolan. I mysteriously forgot a ton of words at the last second but the vibe was right. I’m thinking of just going with this look for the Furs from now on. The shoes were obviously still in effect.

Casual Fog and the Voices from the Grave:

Becky = Dusty Springfield (Son of a Preacher Man)
Cobra = Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire)
Jason = Michael Hutchence (I Need You Tonight)
Me = Marc Bolan (Get it On)
Ehren = Hendrix (Manic Depression)
Dana = Jacko (Thriller)

Special props to the grave singers/dancers – Andi, Becky, Alison, Kristen and Marni. Awesome work. And how about that Tuscan Sunday?

Special mention #2 for Bud’s band Remily who ripped an incredible War Pigs from the rafters. Amazing tones lads.
