Another Night at the Beagle

I stayed late at work yesterday only to find that the doors lock at 5:30, and me without a key (lesson learned: never stay late!). Luckily someone came and let me out and I walked down the street to the Prize Beagle Studio and locked up my bike.

We were supposed …

Prize Beagle Activity Update

Lots of Beagle activity to report, starting with two sessions last week followed by two more this week. We dove into our second batch of tunes, laying down two previously recorded songs ("The Greatest of the World" and "Why Don't You Go?"), one new, as-yet-untitled …

Beagle Update

We've spent a few nights recording vocals at the Prize Beagle Studios, the last being Monday night. We will return tonight to listen and possibly, hopefully, close the books on this session of recordings. We also had Mr. Scott Judd in the studios a few weeks ago to …

Meet Me in the Bathroom

I told Lindsay not to drive but she insisted. She'd been hanging out at the studio all night and spending way too much time in the bathroom, but we finally had to kick her out. The woman is a boor! Anyway, much was accomplished last night at Prize Beagle, despite the …

Wahs and Guitahs at Prize Beagle

I zipped home on the bike and then drove over to Judd's to pick up his acoustic and a wah pedal that we were borrowing. I drove down to the studio and let Rick start in with the wah as I took the guitar outside in the alley and tuned it down. I could hear screams and …

A Healthy Dose of Booty at the Beagle

Last night we headed back over to the Prize Beagle Recording Studio for some more rock and roll adventures. We listened back to what we had so far, and made notes on what other bells and whistles were necessary to make these songs rock our worlds. There are still only …

Monday Night Beagling

July 10:

The first song we did last night was "Less Love, More Acid," which we changed slightly since the recording began, and so it took a few takes before I hit it. I mostly play one chord the entire song, with slight variations, so it's really a matter of …

Back to the Beagle

July 9:

Tonight we go in for another session at the Prize Beagle Recording Studio, and yet, I have not posted about last week's brief encounter. We went in on Tuesday night after work and it was to be all about me and my guitar. We got to it and I was feeling good, …

Summertime Heroes

June 27:

Last night we went back to Prize Beagle and laid down another 3 songs. The song that had the working title of "Augustine" has been renamed and now goes by the much-simpler "Days of Chastity and Continence (not in rioting and drunkeness)." I will explain this …

Tuesday Night at Prize Beagle

Friday June 22:

I got out of work at 5 and rode my bike around in circles trying to find a cheap place to eat some dinner. I settled on Whole Foods, mostly because I've never really ate or shopped there, and I thought I could find some "wholesome" food. This brings …

Prize Beagle

We went into Prize Beagle on Saturday afternoon for our first session with Adam, our friend and fellow musician who was also the mastermind/producer/engineer for our world-famous "Why Don't You Go? (Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh!)" recording, featuring the Hoyne Street Legion of …
