LAST CALL!!!! LAST CHANCE TO FIX
STUFF!!!
Today began with Brian doing the last
of the guitar overdubs on "Broken Days", which was formerly
known as the "Power Ballad." After a failed attempt by Brian
and myself to do some backing vocals (something better left to Mr.
Smalley) we fired up the sampler and proceeded to get "jiggy."
There was much butt shaking, head bobbing and smoking of blunts. After
the smoke cleared we ran a bunch of rough mixes and Brian headed off to
do some last minute lyric writing before Dave showed up to finish his
vocals.
As a side note, Chad Clark (of Silver
Sonya Mastering-located on the Inner Ear premises) is re-mastering the
Faith/Void CD today. This has always been one of our (Brian and myself)
favorite records, so it's pretty exciting (in a nerd sort of way) to be
here while it's being done.
Hey everybody - Dave here. The
Faith/Void thing sounds amazing. That was such a great and important
record. Last day and tons left to do. Listened to the new Bad Religion
record on the way in here and man, it is one of my favorite BR records
already. The band sounds rejuvenated and powerful and there are nice
slow ones as well as awesome blasting songs. I don't know if it's out
yet, because Brian gave me one of his copies last night (along with a BR
patch for my bike messenger bag-thank you B). But whenever it is, go
grab it.
Now a friend named Kevin is here to
help sing backup vocals. I never met him before tonight, so that part is
funny, but I have spoken to him by phone and email many times. He is a
cool guy an a fan of dag nasty and down by law. He asked me if there was
anything he could do to help, and I said, Yeah, you can sing some
backups, and so here he is. I think that's really righteous of him.
Brian here…We are desperately trying
to finish everything by 2am (no fucking way - try 3:30) so I'm checking
in while Dave is catching his breath to say thanks to everyone that
followed this process over the last two weeks. I have received many,
many e-mails from people that really dug this studio log. I give all the
credit to Nuit and Steve Hansgen, without whom this multimedia
presentation could never have been realized. Laterhosen.
