this weekend

it looks like we are finishing up the mix of the american loser/a bus called further single this weekend. right now, all that's left to do is try do more outrageous tricks, mix them in and decide whether if they are cool or distracting. rory is really a genius. really. and his girlfriend lana is very patient. patient.
i've also starting writing a lot of new material. it's pretty different in the sense that it's simpler and direct, is that good? we'll see.
we'll post the results.
on the listening tip, as everyone is, i've been listening to a hell of a lot of animal collective, bon iver, some mingus and the new ac newman (charles the guy who recorded our drums is ac's drummer - in fact ac did his album where we did our drums). sorry that's pretty straight indie and boring.

new year, new single

yeah, its not clear why i haven't been blogging the last 4 weeks other than i moved, went to DC, went MA, and went on a 10 day vacation. we did mix, however. a bus called further has been mixed to holy hell in fact, there is now just a simple guitar solo to be added, so we're about two weeks away.
american loser looks close as well. rory has done a great job in clearing out all the clutter. at any given time there might be up to 12 samples, rory has been phenomenal about clarifying and cleaning. super commendable you should also check out his other project masterface. i think we'll finish this single and send it to some blogs and see if anyone is interested in writing about it.
i guess at some point we should try to put together some rehearsals. i've talked to drummer 9and new daddy) scott about drumming again. i know rae is too busy with school so we'll have to look for a new keyboardist.
