so this page is getting some long overdue attention. |

Anyway, I'm in the middle of recording my second album, tentatively titled
"Butterface". I just spent four weeks in Tall Tree Studios, Austin, recording
drum tracks and scratch guitar & vocal parts. And drinking like they just invented
alcohol (with alot of help from Curt) . Joel, the bollocks, plucked a few strings now and
then but we didn't get any of it on tape so that looks like I won't have the benefit of
his input on this project. Drew did a great job laying down drums for songs he had only
recently heard and only threw one tantrum in 4 weeks. I still say it was bass snare
snare-bass-bass-snare . . . |

Unlike
the sessions for What Happened to the Beautiful Psycho (?) there hasn't been any
preproduction for this album. I was hoping to capture the unrehearsed atmosphere rather
than have all parts written and arranged before entering the studio. You could also say
that I was totally unprepared and tried to wing it. As it happened, it was a good move. I
didn't get as much recording done as I'd intended but I wrote some great new songs. It's
amazing what being stuck out in the woods for 4 weeks can inspire. |

At the
moment, I'm laying down guitar tracks in my home studio in Philadelphia. I expect to be
finished by early October and should have some pre-release copies available by Christmas.
Right, gotta go. My bed is crying out to me. I'll update this again in a few weeks so be
sure to come back now y'hear. Be good |
