Steve here, the tracking of the bass
and drums is over. Don broke down the drums mics and Brian and I began
setting up the wall 'o amps to begin tracking the guitars. We are using
a three-amp setup and blending them all to one track. All of the amps
are being routed through the fabulous Kendrick ABC amp switcher. The
first amp is a 1989 Marshall JCM 800 100 watt head through a 1992
Anniversary Marshall Cab. The second amp is a 1987 Marshall Silver
Jubilee 50 watt head through a JCM 800 cab. The third amp is a new
Fender Pro Junior. Brian is tracking with his black '90 Les Paul
Standard, the Chartreuse Sparkle '75 Les Paul Standard, my red '63 SG
Jr. and the Gretsch Duo-Jet. The first half of the day is being spent
tracking the guitars on "SansAmp", "Dag Dag Dag",
"Bottle This", "Six" and "Minority of
One."

Roger here, I played two notes today. I played them very well.
Dave is due in tonight to begin
tracking vocals on the above songs.
Dave has started singing. It has been
described as, "unbridled rage", by one Chartreuse playing
Axeman.
Said Axeman is also being very discriminating, and is bringing out the
very best from Sir Smalley.
"Passion Squeak" is the label
given to a particular sound that Dave makes when he gets so excited he
cannot contain his vocal enthusiasm. This is one of the things that BB
has been discriminating against.
There is so much excitement about how
it is all falling together that "passion squeaks" are being
heard all over.
That is all for now. Thank you and good
night.
