a word about the situation we’re in here. i am living in another world. i think its good to put yourself in alien environments when recording. frees you up to focus only on what you are doing. new distractions yes, but not the day to day distractions of work, the fridge, tv, no tv, answering ...
So it comes down to this guitar and this amp. today we got in early for some hooking up of boxes, equipments and morning star links… no coffee, just links. Andi was messing around with the Vox Jaguar and dana was in tech support hell earlier so we get running around noon. Four main things ...
Quick one about yesterday: bass on 4 tracks: coming apart, kings, scorched sea and rain(scrapped – and replaced with Farfisa bass by Dana). that’s it really. Andi came down and we discovered mexcan food in Sacramento. just can’t muster it up today…
i just don’t have the time for this. its a shame but the schedule is just meaning the only time i have to update this thing is when i wake up or am woken up at 6 by Gus the cat, Jack the little talking dude (we put stickers on our arms) or just by ...

on friday night i found myself accidentally playing drums in a band. on stage. proper drum kit etc… this is not something that i would have done in my right mind but when handed a tambourine it seemed that less evil could occur with actual drums than with my ever-so-shakey-shaking action. Thanks to Radical Bros. ...
today was good. good people. good sounds. good performances. good food, even. actually i may have to upgrade to great but i prefer the sound of good. I love this part of the recording process – everything is open right now and I get to sit around and listen to my favourite players doing what ...
So it seems that the bull is being taken by the proverbials and these sketch tunes are being sent on their way to another level that involves real players doing wonderful things. i am spoilt by the generosity of people around me.
