down in Monroe, NC (near Charlotte) mixing the first Girls in Trouble record with the amazing Scott Solter. i've never mixed on tape like this and it's quite an art. scott's mixing performance is equivalent to our music performance in complexity and skill. it's different than on protools and pretty addictive actually.

its the last day of mixing and we're working on the next to last song... a few last minute violin and vocal overdubs have saved the day (thank goodness im my own string section)... and aaron's ears have been invaluable as well. we've been eating the hell out of the groceries we bought at trader joe's (kosher chicken! japanese curry made with cubes we brought from nyc!) and mixing 11 or 12 hours a day and discovered an abandoned house down the street with nothing in it but a Steinway upright. the ceiling is literally caving in, but the piano still works.

cant wait to release the album though it wont be for another six months...
