Coaxial Moments: The Laundry List

What do I have left to do to actually finish this record that I've been taking my sweet-ass time with since 2002? Well, this:

1) Leotis- I'm just gonna leave it....(should I change the title?)
2) Swivet- DONE! WAIT! NOT DONE! I just wrote a harmony that I need to record! Here we go...
3) The Speed of Light- record vox
4) We B Noize- perfection in one take
5) Sneaky Falls- record vox
6) Elizabeth and Her Gypsy Elephant-DONE
7) Edgehog- re-record bass, guitar?, sax? (unlikely), vox;
8) Ryan's Gonna Get Laid Tonite- more perfection in one take!
9) Echolocation- vox, fix middle guitar break
10) I Have Too Many- vox; record bassline thru blown car speakers
11) Dry Socket/The Battle- vox, add sample/scratches/what-have-you to outro (the battle)
12) Whack- vox
13) Sound Test- move stuff around; vox; check drum fills vs. old versions (may have changed accidently)NOTE: they didn't change (Should this song be renamed "Coaxially Yours"?)
14) Sunset- vox

Ear licks revisited... ALBUM IS WRITTEN

OK, so Griz came to my rescue. His genius continues to astonish me. I was still desperately trying to finish up the lyrics to this last song and I begged Griz for his help. Man, he came though in such a big way. One line he wrote was a total homer. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. It was like Griz crawled into my brian and pulled it right out.

So, that's it then. The entire album is written! Every note, every word. Now I just have to record the vocals, re-record some of the guitar and bass parts and then tweak the final mixes! Time to bear down and crank this bitch out!

The Year of the Shrimps

The Year of the Shrimps begins NOW:



It's go time. Joe and I have been talking about doing this project for a while now. Lots and lots of talking and thinking and reading and tinkering. Monday, we got together for a nice 4 hour chunk and did some intensive research and development. And it was good. Of course, there was very little sound that we produced that actually resembled music. And that's as cool as owing money all over town to known pornographers. We need to get comfortable with this setup before be start trying to rock faces off.
