Recording; Rehearsal; Soundtrack

It's a very busy (and thus, boozy) time for me.

This week we finally got in deep with the recordings. The bass rig makes the building make bad sounds, so live recording isn't really an option (again). I must've been much quiter for the RC record. Actually, I know that I was--the Ampeg setup just doesn't hit that hard. So, we're multi-tracking it out. It's a little bit of a drag for me, but I'm not discouraged at all. What we've tracked so far sounds awesome. E is fucking amazing (doing up drums with only a metronome). The guitars sound great, but we ran out of time to finesse the bass into the mix (we're super-close, though). I'm really really really superexcited about making this record.

Saturday was the initial rehearsal of the Sound Diapers (the SD). Actually, it went a lot better than I had anticipated. My somewhat improvised lines worked out just fine. I need to shake my fist at MH for making that one song difficult on the rhythm section (you cunt). It'll be good, and BLS is fucking stoked.

The BLC is writing really soundtrack-y stuff. We need to get both guitarists in a room to make 'em into songs. They're at their best when they can bounce ideas off each other--I'm only somewhat good at writing changes up. Still, we're going to go test Greg's studio for some of the soundtrack stuff.

And I have two (?!!?) looming projects on the horizon to think about. Seriously, I think that two bands is about right, although I'm stoked to play four nights a week. Maybe three bands? LRC hates this shit, though, because I never see her. I can't make any decision until I'm done with this SD deal.
