Tired... ZzzzZZzZZ

Well, the lads and I are in the studio this weekend recording our next LP. That means that anyone wishing to get in contact with me should just wait until Monday. Our first day in the studio was uber-productive. We laid down 6(!) tracks today. That's darn good for a a day in the studio. We are recording at London Bridge here in Seattle. My favorite thing about this record so far is that we are recording old-school. That means live in the studio. That means if one of us screws up a take, we can't use it. That's how records were made before the days of digital. We're laying it down to 2 inch tape as well. How sweet is that? It all feels very '60s right now. Other than Oasis, I cannot think of one modern band that still records live in studio... well, except for Mudcrutch, but that's a record review for anbother day! All in all we are all very tired but very pleased with how this monster is turning out.

I'm trying to document as much as possible on the old DV camera, but studios don't make for sexy TV. In fact, recording studios are pretty much the most boring place to be for 90% of one's time there. It's the 10% when the red light is on that counts...
