seriously, why?

it's 2AM and in 2 hours the van will pick us up to go to the airport. why did i think it was a good idea to play the antenna lodge show tonight? and why did i want to save money [albeit around 400-500 USD] by flying out so early?

anyway, basically all of the main distorted guitar work is done. there are a few parts to catch, and then a few clean guitar parts and acoustic tracks to record, but that is the first thing on the agenda when we get to Dallas. i've learned that we will be tracking that at Nomad, doing vocals at the pAperhouse, and mixing at Lastbeat. look through previous posts for links to those studios. i'm too tired to do everything for you.

there are some sick guitar sounds so far. the mustang is doing well. the album will have an unmistakebly Fender sound to it. which is good since that is what i like.

one thing i've learned while recording this, during a project, a lot of inside jokes develop amongst involved parties. also, after a 12 hour day, every word out of everyone's mouth seems hilarious. like daniel's suggestion that instead of using an ambient mic on the stroh violin [ala pinky w.(again, check earlier posts)], why doesn't the player just stand further away from the mic. which is basically saying, instead of moving the mic far away from the instrument, why not move the instrument far away from the mic. comedy.
