thanks to the ryan butler, the wonderful bass playa from awkward silence, we had some more mics to do drum tracks today. kyle did tracks for digital express, four seasons, the music and breaking seams. i also recorded the bass for intermediator. following the studio work dave, ryan, brian and i went to ryans for grilling and scrabble and caffine. it ended with victory- for me. i will update yall on how krauts guitar work goes tomorrow, and, god willing, another game of scrabble.

andrew pulled out some very dreamy guitar "licks" for The Music today. This song is turning out to be quite an epic, over 8 minutes long!  We took a break after that and dave, ryan (stuido hand), kraut and i played scrabble. unlike yesterdays game, thier was no wager. but, like yesterdays game i was victorious.  right now andrew is with a highly caffinated david louks and recording guitar stuff again.  tomorrow kyle is recording somemore drum tracks and possibly whitey may be doing some guitar also. me and kraut are going to see Godspeed You Black Emperor! at first ave- probably not gonna do any work. i will update yall again tomorrow.

today i re-recorded bass for the music, i think it sounds a lot better than before. also, background vocals were added by one ann louks, it sounds really nice. i also recorded some of a song which for now will be known as "chief halla-back"  brian and kraut are at the zwan concert tonight, so they will be doing no work. bums.

We did the acoustic guitar on Breaking Seems today. Yesterday dave did acoustic part for The Music. Those two songs should be done very soon, all they need is vocals, solos and mixing.

we got a couple of rough mixes done today...they are pretty slick! i think yall, or at least a few of you, will like em! still shooting for a may release

david is talking now: now it is arpil 18th and we have come a ways on some songs, such as slowly which has an excellent start, kraut worked on something, and found out he had active pickups on his guitar, which make for a pretty sound.  oh yeah, i think he worked on intermeadiator, I has also started recording a kickin new song called something along the lines of "8/13th of a week"  sadly our unmotivation (apparently that isn't a word) has put us rather far behind schedule.
