6am, 7 songs of their way, 1 to write
Wednesday, 20 February 2008
So as of our tally, we have 7 songs, at least 5 of them are almost finished.  we realized we need one more.  It was 6 am not long before the sun came up that we went to sleep.  We hadn't seen the clock since midnight.  This is a crazy challenge.  It is the first full joint album me and my band mate have written.  We were working on the first, but then came this, and this is a breath of fresh air.  I pretty much always go over the top, so alas i have all the artwork to do for the album, which at the moment seems quite daunting.  Alas, more coffee, fresh air in my first days of spring(we're in texas) and back at it.  We for all intents and purposes need to be finished with everything except mixing/mastering by tommorow(or if i call in sick, hehe Thursday) becuz jimmy is gone to houston by Feb 27th.  Everybody having fun yet?  p.s. the trax are gonna be legendary.

You've picked up on something very elemental in this process...coffee, lots of coffee. Between doing this last year, and doing it again this year, I can definitely relate to nights I've not seen the clock for pretty long stretches (not to mention meeting the sun as I'm going to sleep). Yea, I'm personally not quite as far ahead as I probably need to be, so it will only get worse, but just keep on muttering to yourself, March=sleep, March=sleep, lol. Crazy crazy challenge, but worth it.
 2 ah yes, coffee

craziness only gets worse as the hours go on. We are 6 done, 1 vocal to re-track, and 1 to decide to keep or throw. we've both already said that we'll get it where we can, then send it. and probably keep working on it even more in march. i have to say this challenge is probably one of the best things i've decided concerning music. 2nd, Ableton Live, 3rd my Neumann microphone. Best yet, this is forcing us to FINISH something! Here's to the long haul. i can't wait to get our trax up.  
p.s. we're addicted to french press coffee over here.
