strings, horns and a tamourine

well today I absolutely have no thinking power. i got next to no sleep all week and today we have strings in the morning, horns in the evening and hopefully some tambo to fill out the songs. it's all coming together now so big smiles yeah
that's todays update, like i said, brain no work today. here video. bye!

what we've been up to

so we're getting close now. under a week now i think! we've today only implemented the system that I (kg) come in earlier than trent and do some g-tars and then once he comes in he's all rested up and belts out a vocal.. like young cubs so far today. spot on. awesome. good job! that brings me to what i've been watching to keep my spirits up, tim and eric awesome show, great job! segway of a lifetime. here's a crazy skit from it..

WHERE'S MY SON??!! ha. crazy, i know. but hilarious yeah?
that's my update for today. the good thing about blogs is it can be personal ramblings and no-one can criticise it! bbbbyyyeee

lucky number 13

so we're into day 13 of the recording process here at Albert studios in neutral bay sydney. today songs are starting to round out as the last few days we've been adding guitar layers, percussion, more drums, yes, more. vocals for a song or two have been underway and trent is laying down a take now so it's great to have things all coming together..

such as artwork too. and the album name. although both work in progress, they both feel right and suit the album to us.. 

today it's just me (kg), and trent. sean came in yesterday for overdubs, ed the days before with bass, and now it's guitars until the end of the week when steph and ant will lay down some keys and some more group stuff like clapping the f**k out of some tracks, and tambo. yeah.

we've been here everyday with wayne 'the con man' connolly who is producing the album. he likes to do a lot of improv such as one liners about 'the square people'. you had to be there, no really, you had to be. and engineering is reyne who was once the proud ruler of the fusball table, but has since fallen in defeats to most of us. i know i beat him. beat him good.

so i'm gonna get back to watching some conchords now, until next time
