The City Veins

Charles and I have been working in the studio for 8 hours now.  That’s just today alone.  We put a good 12 hours during the week, which was no easy feet given the fact that Charles is working right now.  There is about zero chance that this post will avoid the sort of whiny drivvel that people hate to read.  But somebody has to blog, and it looks like today it’s going to be me.

The NCAA tournament was not properly timed this year, as they should have considered the effect it would have on my psyche to both devote my life to basketball and the band simultaneously.  Between recording every track I check the scores of the games.  Duke lost and I cheered, but it would have been way more interesting if the had fallen to Belmont, rather than the mild upset at the hands of West Virginia.

Now it’s 11 and this post has taken me three hours.  We’re working on Oh, Backwards, which is not coming across as well as it does live at the moment.  I’m telling you people:  Look out for “The Boy Makes Good”.  That song has come together really well.  It won’t win us a grammy, but it’s a track I’m really proud of right now.  “Oh, Backwards” is my favorite song at concerts, but we have to do a job to translate the intensity on to a recording.  Not such an easy endeavor.

Above is a picture of our band.  We’re very pretty people.
