redcoat turncoat practice today. we ended up running through everything pretty quickly, at which point practice turned into jamming on beatles songs. pretty fun.

i worked more on real nights mixing/mastering today. i added a sheep baa to "frumptown," which was a very important addition. my sound effects CDs from 1999 are the gift that keeps on ( Read more... )

okay, so i slacked off on updating here, and then i went to bend for a couple days. DUMB. but really, not much has been happening the past week. there was redcoat turncoat practice, lots of banana stand mixing (the ro sham bos and the woolen men), and of course the bend trip. i think there might have been a pugs practice in there too ( Read more... )

today i recorded a demo for a new song called "spoons." not much to say about that. well, it's called "spoons ( Read more... )

so i was sitting in my womb today, working on mixing a banana stand set and i get a call from nate at 5 asking where exactly ky's house was. and i said, "uhhh, were we practicing today?" and nate was awl, "uhh yeah." apparently there was a misunderstanding when nate emailed us last week saying jenny (our new bass player) couldn't make the practice ( Read more... )

not a whole lot of note the past couple days. i hung out with mayhaw a bit yesterday and we listened to the new little wings album. i've been watching lots of supernatural and TV documentaries. i want to do a show on ustream soon. i might announce it 30 minutes before i do it. heh heh heh. the cool thing is that i can record the live stream, so ( Read more... )

yesterday (march 1) i recorded a demo of a new song called "only in the dark." i've had that song around for a few months and just now got around to recording a demo of it. i think i'm in full fledged demo recording mode now. so far, i have 6 new songs for the next album (three more to record). a couple of those songs don't have lyrics or vocal ( Read more... )

today, alyssa and i were supposed to go to bend to our new favorite bed & breakfast for our sixth (!) anniversary. but sadly, there were too many weather reports of snow in bend as well as on all possibly travel routes. it was the kind of thing where it might have been fine if we went, but we decided to err on the side of caution. we didn't want to ( Read more... )

yesterday, errands and hanging with caitlin. we watched some show about british gypsy weddings. weird. i watched a documentary about blur called no distance left to run. i really have grown to like them. they have a really interesting sound that sounds like NOTHING going on today. i can't really think of another band like them. they sound as 90s as ( Read more... )

not too much going on the past few days. i've been watching this miniseries that aired last summer called PERSONS UNKNOWN. it's a good weird mystery show. i love shows like that (like LOST and THE LOST ROOM ( Read more... )

saturday was the pugs show at mississippi pizza. it was a fun show. it was pretty real nights, but it was great to play again. we played really well too, i thought, especially considering we played three songs we'd never done live before. that definitely is not the ideal venue for rock music, but they have good pizza and i've always liked the place ( Read more... )
