Yesterday, Clyde.

After a short christmas break during which the album was put on hold and the studio relocated to my apartment, Justin came over on Saturday and re-recorded some bass parts.  I had decided over break that 'Crimes Without Victims' needed to be in a higher key for the vocal part to work, so we redid that.  Then we went through and made sure everything was there for all of the bass parts, even if some stitching together would be required of me later.  If Justin had a recording motto, it would probably be "We can fix that later" or "We can just reuse that, right?"  He's usually right though, and the sound he gets from that bass is better than any way I've found of playing it.

Here's a pic of my room in Delta, where I spent the break.  A couple days before I left I decided to test out my new mic (the NT1-A in the middle of the room) by recording a cover album, as I periodically do.  I like to do the songs in one try but had to do one take for guitar, and another for vocals.  The vocals were hard, because I had a cold and a bit of a fever, so I called the compilation "So Sick."  The guitar I used (sitting on the chair) is my dad's 1958 Gibson J-50.
