Time for electric boogaloo! And there is never a bad time for a boogaloo, electric or of the Mennonites. Side note: BRILLIANT name for an acoustic band, Mennonite Boogaloo. Don’t even think about stealing that.
Week 2 saw us further clean and organize the studio area. Old Dungeons & Dragons adventures (well, AD&D 1st Edition to be specific) and dinosaur computer parts were found and reminisced over. Talk of SCSI cards and Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books soon followed. Some work was done amongst this. Rachel almost coughed up a lung AND another lung, but is better now.
This week also sees the cherry get popped on actual recording, with the first guide/scratch tracks getting laid down. This is the first step of very, very many to bring you our rock spectacular. We’ll have a collective moment, cry a little, and then bang it out to a click (oh yeah, that was totally intended to be an innuendo).
Pics soon to follow, assuming we actually remember to take some. We have almost no photographic evidence of the “Vampicorns Unite! 2009” tour, so we don’t want to make that mistake again.
We decided “Brew of the Week” would be something to note. As various level of beer snobs, the quality intake of hop-ladened goodness throughout the recording process should be documented. We’ll even apply a completely arbitrary rating scale: the better it is, the more 3s out of 5 it will score.
This week was Noble Pils from Sam Adams. A surprisingly hoppy and malty Bohemian style pilsner, Sam Adams has once again produced an above average seasonal. So much so that is has replaced White Ale as their spring seasonal. For a large brewery, they do good work. Thanks Sam!
Official Score: 3.5 3s out of 5.
