Points of interest from this week-
Significant progress was made on the album for the first time in 3 months.
The first five tracks are pretty much all said and done, save for mixes.
This weekend we tracked guitar, vocals, sleigh bells, pump organ, car keys, finger snaps, mandolin and a box. And a faucet.
Chris from They Found Me, They Named Me is good at drawing weird phallic creatures in under two minutes.
Peter from The Good Luck Joes is the best studio intern ever (but he’s still no baby engineer).
Tracking songs live is a visceral experience that rivals a first date with a new love… you only get one shot and that’s how it’s gonna be remembered forever. You also have all the same performance anxiety and anticipation, as well as the contentment that comes with the knowledge that you did alright. If you did alright.
We need to buy an Orange head, an Emperor cab and sometimes Dustin gets cranky and has to go to sleep. These things are unrelated.
Colour Revolt have one of the most soulfully inspiring live performances that I’ve seen in a long while.
Dustin writes awesome guitar solos and I’m starting to lose my hearing.
The squeaks aren’t that noticeable.
