So I got done tracking bass for the Maida project. it gave me a second to encode some of the final mixes into edible sizes.

I know i've been hold up in my house for two and a half months recording, writing, and mixing a whole bunch of music. i wonder if I can make a living at this.

So this is what i've been...

One would think with all the time I have to not work, I would be looking for things to do. I'm soo busy I don't even have time to shave. ooo aaa

I finished the Northeast Record. I'll post some samples very soon. Now we're in the middle of tracking drums for the new Maida record.

have fun tonight, and blow me kisses from afar.

Monday December 20th 2004

I hereby extend my letter of resignation, this day the 20th of December 2004.
I am thankful of the opportunity that you extended to me, and my time here at Apple Computer, Inc. will always be looked upon as a great experience.

Sincerely,
John Blatchford




This day didn't start out this way. Funny how things manifest themselves, isn't it?

Tonight we finish vocals to the last song on the Northeast record. One more week of mixing, and we'll have a finished product. I'll be sure to post a couple of songs up here and see if any of you dig it at all.

New years is coming up and some friends in LA are getting together for a par-tay. It might be time to...

I was in such a good mood for a monday, until a barber that didn't speak english butched all of my hair off when i asked him to only cut the back and the sides, and I keep getting solicited on my cell phone.

Now i'm so angry I could scream.

I fucking hate assholes.

Unfamiliar barbers and hairdressers are always sketchy at best. Not being able to communicate with them, scary!

What a drag meng.

Tomorrow promises hats and blowjobs. Or at least hats anyway. biggrin

this weekend I travel to the depths of Los Angeles. If you happen to be around why don't you come out and watch my first solo performance, ever. It will be an improvisational loop based performance to go along with the theme of the night.

It's a Night of Music and Poetry @ the West Grand theatre in San Pedro california.

It'll be good to...

What kind of set-up do you have at your house? Tape machine or protools/software based system, what kind of board?

I really want to set up a studio. I have a digi 002 and some outboard gear I use in my apartment. I have recorded a couple of demos with my band at our practice space. My dream is to be able to do audio engineering for real and ditch my office lackey job...
americanzero:
Wow, that's a legit set-up! I have consider buying a couple 1/2" Tascam 8-tracks but I've never taken the pludge. I really dislike recording direct to digital, I have consistant problem with driving the signal into the fuzz-zone.

It would be great if you could go for engineering full time. I gather you have learned most of your recording skill on your own?

As I drove in to work today I listened to a wonderful program on poetry. It was on Forum with Michael Krasny on NPR. It turned out to be the perfect way to start the day.

Now i'm listening to the complete Columbia recordings of the Miles Davis Quintet.

I guess it's just gonna be one of those days.

fine by me.

soooo tired. I've been burning every candle at every end. I love it.

So an interesting thing happened. A friend of my roommate came over and loved the studio in the house. He's bringing up members of Junior Senior to record a soul record at the house. Second week in February. Sound rad. I've been waiting for the Motown sound to make a comeback.

Back...

two days off, now back to the project. It's time to get started on vocals tonight. This is always the least fun of recording projects. For some reason I have this attraction to instrumental music, especially instrumental rock music.

I like this time of year. My company has this winter/christmas shutdown where they shut the company down from the 24th of December through the 2nd...

Really? That's awesome! duNord is one of my favorite venues. Stage is kinda small, but other than that, this place is sweet. All dark and cozy and candlelit...has a pool table...and a cool red velvety victorian couch in one of the back rooms. very 20's ish. Everyone that works there is super nice too.

You could borrow my dog; she spoons.
