Livin A Dream

We cut our new EP this weekend with Wendy at Coney Island. I think Kat describes it best as "the sound I have always imagined us having." We are all pretty excited about this. The recording process went smoothly. Wendy is FABULOUS! It's cold on the Island during winter and this was one cold ass weekend. We did a lot of work with coats and hats on. Does that mean the tracks will be slow like molasses? Hell no! Kripes Pam had to put the brakes on over and over again because I was rushing the tracks. Must have been the Rockstar and Cottage Cafe pancakes. We brought Adam Powell in early Saturday to play his freaky Moog synth on Sundown. This was exciting because Adam and his wife are expecting their second child on this very weekend. Adam looked like Schoeder from Peanuts bent over his little synth tweaking knobs and pushing keys. The sound is freakin awesome!

Sunday we struggle to finish and fail. Just too many good ideas and intentions. Decide to take some rough mixes home, ponder the meaning of life and if we really need those wood-block sounds in Sundown and resume in 06. Our goal is a late January release and shouldn't be a problem. We all escape to Ellie's Solstice party for warm drink and good FOOD!
