It's too early...

We're in the studio right now, Rusty and I at least, preparing for our third day of recording. We're hoping to track the drums for the last four tracks. It's a sprint to the finish, so to speak.

Last night was a late one. We didn't leave the studio until 1:30am, but we left with another four songs in the can. If you're keeping track of the score -- and I know you are -- you may have noticed that there will be a total of 12 songs on the album... and you may be right. Don't put it past us to throw in a surprise or two... but don't hold me to that.

In all honesty, we probably could have gotten much more done last night, had it not been for that 2 hour Wendy's break...

I'm looking at Rusty right now, and he looks sort of like a deposed communist leader... or a cockney pickpocket... but I guess that's kind of typical for Rusty.

We're also gnawing on some day old pretzels, but you put 'em in the microwave, and it's a beautiful thing.

Still waiting on Eli to get here. It's a bit of a Winter "Nightmareland" outside, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's delaying our drummer a bit.

Here's my little aside about snow: I hate snow. I say that unabashedly. It's cold, wet, and it makes a mundane thing, like driving across town, feel like crossing the Atlantic. Some day, I will live in a land where snow never rears its ugly head... Like Georgia.

More pictures to come....

Recording for the new album is officially underway.

Last night, the band and I braved icy roads, and several yetis, to make it to PLASTIC ROOM STUDIOS where Mike Cervantes , equally as scary as a yeti, welcomed us in out of the cold to record drums.

The end result: Drums for 4 songs in a mere 6 hours!

Tonight is more of the same.

I've posted a photo album of last night's session and will continue to keep you posted with a blog and pictures from each day, maybe a video or two to boot.

cheers,
