MLK day
what a rainy and messy day! the weather report claims this is what we'll be enjoying 'til tomorrow, too. no worries. i don't mind it like this. although when the weather's like this i'm often more inclined to stay in the studio. and i can't do that -- banilow rehearsal tonight.
yeah, we've got the next banilow show this thursday at the abbey lounge, and we're expecting it to be a sweet and upsetting show for all. for the first time we'll have horns! well, notwithstanding Packy's sitting in with us for a few songs at the Boob Toob extravaganza a couple of years ago. but we'll have (PLURAL!) horns at this one! trumpet and tenor sax, played by two good friends and phenomenal musicians that i'm thrilled to have sitting in with us.
last week we were contacted by The Dig to be interviewed for the Defend Yourself column. so that'll hit the streets wednesday. and the Block Island Music Festival requested us to submit for consideration, too. supposed to be pretty cool, and i've never been there either. what the hell, right?
yesterday Kirkdorffer came over sans guitar to go over some of the stuff we recorded new year's eve, and we spend a delightful few hours deconstructing and reconstructing and sculpting until we've got about two minutes worth of structured music. sounding pretty good, and quite different from the first track we did.
we also kept checking in on the Pats game and, before that and more loosely, the Bears game. the Pats game was very exciting and stressful, so we pretty much sat at the edge of the sofa for the whole fourth quarter, ignorant of the studio gear humming along a few yards to our right.
as i said, a delightful afternoon.
