After many long hours of “23 takes of 15 seconds of song, listen back, pick the best, move on to the next 15 seconds, rinse, repeat”, the drums are tracked! 13 tracks of blistering, bombastic, bewildering beats are in the can.
There is much joy in Mudville. And I totally mean that how you think I do.
Up next, a fresh, deep breath and back to center. Transfer slowly to Cat Pose. Deep breath here and onto Down Face Dog. Breathe in. Breath out. Back to Cat. We’ll move on to Cat Series 2 now. What? No. Yoga is for posers. Get it? ——->
In reality, keyboard tracking is probably next. Both the bass Moog and lead Alesis. Fortunately for us, through little bits here and there, almost 25% of the moog tracks are already done.
Our first major benchmark has been reached. “Bam Bam” achievement complete (drum tracks finished, new “Bam Bam” costume unlocked at character selection screen), album storyline 20% complete.
In related recording news, the first acoustic EP is coming along swimmingly. We should be knocking the rest of that out (like a sucka!) for you soon. Tracklisting for the 2nd installment is already decided upon, so the machine keeps rolling on, gears ablazing.
In recent efforts, we had kind of abandoned the Brew of the Blog thing, so I guess it’s time to catch up. For the most part, we’ve been drinking the homebrews of our drummer extraordinaire, Matt “the Love Worm” Myers. We’ve gone through a farmhouse saison, a regular saison, and an IPA, all of which are/were super fantastic. Perhaps a biased score from the German judge, but I’m gonna go ahead and award 5 out of 5 3s as a collective rating of the brews.
