Everybody,
We're going to spend the whole afternoon recording the EP today. If it is anything like our previous sessions, it will consist of me waking Jack up at 2pm and giving him some time to take a shower, eat breakfast and have coffee- then we'll set up the equipment and record for no more than half an hour, which is about the time when Jack and Stew will need a smoke break. We'll then proceed to lay down a few more tracks until Jack will invariably need a "pick-me-up" and make a trip to the nearby gas station for an energy drink (as if the coffee wasn't enough). Then of course I'll get distracted and make everyone suffer by starting to play the drums. And so on. I must admit though that we've had a lot of good times recording the EP even though its progressing at about the pace of a manatee. At least we're not as slow as My Bloody Valentine who spent 2 whole years recording Loveless. To be honest, we'll probably be finished with it by October, which is not bad considering we are doing this by ourselves. Meanwhile, we are playing a show on Friday at the Belmont right after the big festival they're having in Hamtramck- See you there!
