Mungus in the Studio, Day 7 (Thursday, August 21, 2008)
It's a bad day for cats: we passed the bodies of two as we were leaving Mt. Washington today. They both looked (at least from behind) like they were lounging on the road. Bad beginning to the day.
Once we arrived at the studio we began by listening to "Sex Kills" and selecting pieces of...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 6 (Wednesday, August 20, 2008)
It's 10:30 and we're setting up Stephen's guitar rig for overdubs. It's nice to be back in the studio after those two days off. It was really weird, actually, to not be getting up and driving to Lexington. The pattern of 10AM-7PM was daunting (and exhausting), but not having it for a couple of days...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 5 (I have no idea, August 17, 2008)
Adam, Stephen, and I arrived before anyone else today (Michael drove separately because he has to leave early for some reason).
We're starting off the day tracking guitars for "Jade" and it's so wonderful to hear something I've lived with for just over ten years fleshing out like this. I wrote this...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 4 (Saturday? August 16, 2008)
I finished tracking the bass line for Mystery Song X at the beginning of the day, and we moved on to guitar. It's now 11:30, and before I say anything else I just have to say HOLY GOD. Stephen's recording Mystery Song X, and the moment he hit the first note the rest of us...

Sounds like it is going well. I have been keeping up with your entries, just haven't had the time to comment yet. So are you guys recording on your own, to release on your own, or do you have someone putting the record out for you? Your detailed descriptions of working in the studo make me really miss being in a real studio. I have spent so many years away from that and recording at home. What studio are you at and where is it at, if I may ask? Since I have lived in KY (6 years), I have never seen a studio that I am really happy with. Ok, enough with all the questions. Good luck, and I look forward to you guys being done so I can bother you for info on picking up a copy of what you have done.
Mungus in the Studio, Day 3 (Friday August 15, 2008)
Bass tracking! In the spirit of catching up, we're tracking the bass today. We got to the studio on time (though the rest of the guys arrived at my house as I was getting out of my shower and I had to yell out the window that I'd be right down), ate McDonald's breakfast, and...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 2 (Thursday August 14, 2008)
Being awake was a little harder today for all of us. Stephen and Michael slept in the car on the way down (Stephen with a shirt over his head--image to be posted).

It's now 1:30. We spent the morning recording "Ponderous Groove", tracking the drums (which is good because I was slowly unlearning how...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 1 (Wednesday August 13, 2008)
Studio time started at 10AM. We loaded everything in and set up our equipment fairly quickly. While Michael set up, Duane, Stephen, and I discussed our approach to the song for the day: "Get Some". The studio, by the way, is beautiful. The air is full of incense and the colors are all warm and...

Pick-Ups, Deliveries, and Massages
I went to get the twenty-five fifty-pound bags of alpaca chow this afternoon around 2 o'clock. I loaded them into the back of my Explorer by myself, then unloaded them when I got home. Just as I finished (it really was perfect timing) I saw a delivery semi go past with my Uline shelves. I knew I had about five minutes...

"Bring Me The Disco King"
by david bowie (because I was listening to it earlier today)
You promised me the ending would be clear
You'd let me know when the time was now
Don't let me know when you're opening the door
Stab me in the dark, let me disappear
Memories that flutter like bats out of hell
Stab you from the city spires
Life...
