why are drummers such flakes? is it because there are so few of them they feel like they can get away with it?
Gearing up to record a few more songs. This time i’ll be doing it in the garage. It’s the simplest place to record because no one has to move their shit. I’ll lay out some carpet maybe put some blankets on the wall. I really dont care. If there is a bit of echo it’s no big deal. One i play in a punk band, two it’s not the sky walker ranch…It’s Rotten Avocado Studios. I recorded about 20 minutes of test runs, working out this and that, with my drummer this afternoon. The only bad thing today was finding out i had a faulty ground. if i played my bass with my feet touching the floor, i acted as the ground. ZAP ZAP ZAP. i should fix that before someones dies. So Friday the band will kick out some jams. I think i’ll record live to see how we like that.I hope that works out the best. i hate the head ache of overdubbing and shit i’m not qualified to do. Mixing sucks also. I get better at this every time. ramble ramble ramble. i’m going to make a cocktail.
my band has a new drummer,and it's awesome! Our last drummer was really a guitarist(the best i know), so at times it was rough. Now we sound tight and i couldn't be happier. at first i was bummed out about my friend leaving the band. Everyone in the band has know each other for over ten years, and i've known my bassist for 21 years(our friendship is old enough to drink). So he left for school, i can't blame him. We played our frist show with the new drummer last Saturday and did pretty well. Now i'm looking forward to playing our next show next saturday.
Finally got around to fixing my brother's Fernandez Guitar today. I put in a seymour duncan invader i had rolling around and jerry rigged the input. now it sounds pretty awesome. just need to get 2 screws and a nut for the input. I feel so productive! time for a beer.
Last night i finished two books, 'Tis, and The Last Detail. I enjoyed both. oh i didnt read them both in one shot. i wish i could read that fast, but i cant. i had been reading 'tis for a couple days, and the last detail i picked back up. now i'm reading They call me baba booey. i'm bored as fuck right now.
My dog doesn't give a shit about playing ball, or any playing. All he wants is to be pet and scratched. Walked of course.
