I didn’t want to announce this ahead of time because of all the problems i’d been having with recording process, but there will actually be an A-side and a B-side for every hour that i blog. Half of the B-sides are the songs from my demo, but the other half are songs recorded just for this event. And, yes, that makes the grand-total 50 songs in 24 hours. Be afraid.
t-minus three hours.
I rocked out with recording last night, and wound up with an hour and a half of amazing audio of songs i hardly even play in a typical month of recording. The only problem seems to be that computer users with especially generic speakers are getting all clipping at the top of the songs… i assure you that i took very special care not to clip on any of the songs for more than a note or two, and if you hear that tomorrow you need to get some JBL speakers like i have :p . Meanwhile, i did record my previous song written for Mollie, but i actually went and wrote a wholly new song that’s specifically about her. I’m not going to point either one out specifically during the blogging frenzy, but they’re the two more carefully played songs in the mix – to get two takes of each i spent almost 3hours playing them (out of a total of eight). Also, Gina came down and did some interesting new stuff with me, and she’ll be making a guest appearance during the ‘thon either so i can take a 15 minute nap or so we can do a Trio. Very exciting. Don’t be alarmed as the layout gets scary while i switch to the ‘Thon layout.
Songs i still need to record: Buildings and Bridges, Never Ends (4th of July), Disguise It, Make Sense, New Mexico, Like Mine, I Deserve, Lament You, World In My Hand, Impact, Pay For It, Inadequacy Song, Afterglow, Falling Down, Wasting Away, Five Minutes, Whoever’s Listening, I Was Wrong, View, Quickly, Like a Prayer, Secret, La Isla Bonita, Spark, No Second Chance, Ziggy Stardust, Hide Your Eyes. Ambitious much?
