today is day 1 of 2 for tracking bass and drums here at The Mansion. let me start with a brief introduction of our personnel.
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
SCOTT E. LEE - BASS
AARON W. HAYNES - DRUMS
...and BEAU PATRICK "THE PHANTOM" BEDFORD (not pictured) is still around here, too, taking on the primary engineering and directing duties.
we're doing all live tracking today. we get in a room and play together, hoping to capture that live band chemistry. viiiiiibe.

12:15 am
the guys just left, so i guess i'll unravel a few of the day's gruesome details. after what seemed like forever (in actuality, about 2.5 hours) of running cables and checking sounds and all that tech-y stuff i don't understand, we finally got down to the nitty gritty, so to speak. we finished the bass and drums on 3 songs completely, and another one has been fully arranged, just waiting to be knocked right out come tomorrow morning.
i'm so excited i can hardly see straight. everything is sounding very very right. today was a good first day for this stuff. many a good time was shared, many a frustration overcome. we're working at a fairly relaxed pace but we've gotten quite a bit done. we'll hit it hard for a couple hours, then relax around the fire or shoot pool or make up really obscure jokes to clear our minds. tomorrow we hope to really complete the rest of the rhythm section tracking and move on to next week's order of business...
...guitars and vocals. ahhhhhhhhh!
i think i'm off here for the evening. my energy's expired for the day, much like my willingness to continue to try making witty banter on the internet. good night world! see you around tomorrow.
sleep well "young young young!," "a highway calls...," and "underground."
as for "coattails," "schoolboy," "generation of the broken home," and "sashay,"
we'll see you bright and early. you can count on it.
adieu!
