I’m off to the studio to meet a lead guitarist…Turns out I need a leader. Of course, we all need leaders. Duh. Anyway, I’m excited and nervous and I hope I like him and maybe he’ll want to play my Gibson 335 and if he does that’s okay because I’m a good sharer and I’m nice and now I have to go oh my goodness I’m late I’m so late I don’t have time to punctuate except right here at the end!
And I’m blue blue blue blue blue…But the good news is I have my living room back and now it’s time to get on with allllllllllllllllll the rest of the recording! Just wanted to pop in a few more pics of the downtown studio environs..Including a shot of all 4 of us after last day of tracking drums and bass (Monday)…Right. Back to sobbing.
Left to right: John Edward Wells (bass), Thomas Kåfel (drums), me (duh) and Eric Peterson (producer/engineer extraordinaire)...Arty!Arty?
Well, we’ve been tracking for about 2 weeks now…Got almost all the bass and drum tracks down–which is a good thing, since the boys leave tomorrow (sob!)–and to celebrate, I treated myself to a pedicure yesterday. Ahhh, the rock and roll lifestyle. Work work work work work, get your toes painted, work work work, have a glass of wine and walk the puppy, work work, sit back and receive the adulation. Ha!
The unassuming entrance to the magic palace of sounds...AKA LemonTree Studios.Great floor for sliding! Also useful for reading when the singer is bored because it's all about the bass and drums. This is where I've been sitting for most of the past 2 weeks...My producer Eric Peterson with his toy box, er, mic collection!And yes... "Quarter of a Cent Cherry" has GOT to be the best nail color ever.
More news as toes warrant. Or music. Or something. :)
