BROOKLYN WEEK 2008: Push It To The Max!

What's that? Yes, every. single. day. I am taking the subway to way-the-hell-out-there-Bay Ridge, to record what will become my NEW EP. It's an hour each way. I have a 600-page book that I am already half-way through.

I wanted to update yesterday, but I forgot.

SO, day two...the day without water: Cameron and I "officially" finished tracking and mixing Persevere, and started tracking Call Your Bluff. Cam's building turned the water off "for repairs" from 9-2, so we did all this with little to no nourishment, trying to avoid any reason to use the bathroom. That was fun.

We also had to deal with a bunch of latency issues because Cam's equipment is old and over-worked. We pushed it to the max with the 35 tracks we had going at one point. Another reminder to try and keep things simple.

So, so far the tunes lined up for this project include the two previously mentioned, as well as Small Town Love and Killed A Man....ideally, I'd like to record two more. I'm pumped. Especially because I am doing this all myself! (myself meaning me and my bandmate, Cam). I'm really excited about it....I've learned a lot since recording my last EP.

Yay.
