hehe thanks... I'm not sure if I mentioned earlier that I did a LOT of alternative takes. In the end I was really tired and hoarse so I just went screaming, whispering and whimpering. My neighbour really lost it and started an electric drill in the wall (I was at it for 2 hours at least)!! The drill is actually heard on the track, Maybe Johan can use it for something;-) Ah! The life of sex, drugs and rock n'roll (or in my case: occasional masturbation, herbal tea and Lloyd Cole) Bubba! Don't go and do something I would (or is that wouldn't?) do (God, this post turned out to be like "the mother of all unneccessary parenthesises")(()()()((()()()(()()()()())))()()()()()))))))COMBAT ROCK!! Or Send Us A Message! Johan: Got the CD from Mr. Axen yesterday, great stuff! Now I have plenty of work to do over the weekend. Sounds really good, this will be fantastic once it is finished...

Ok, I admit its a bit of a standstill rite now. Spring has arrived and its more fun to be outside than to sit at the computer. Laters... Or Send Us A Message! Tuesday, May 21, 2002
Johan (forgot to put this on the last two postings, sorry): Worked on another oldie of ours yesterday, Deth n' Destruction. The title sounds a bit aggressive, I know, but it should be viewed from a sarcastic point of view. Anyway, it has got a fat foundation bass line thing that used to be an Oberheim Matrix-6 sound (what a great piece of hardware), but this time I tried it with Sequential Prophet-5 instead. That worked fine as well... :-) Fiddled with that until it was really late, so now I am tired again. A bit of breakfast and a solid coffee should get me going... Or Send Us A Message!

God, is it monday or what? The day has actually been OK, but I am for some unknown reason really tired. Did some bits and bobs this weekend, did some maintenance on my Dobro guitar. It has been rattling for quite some time now due to loose objects inside it and the spindle on the cone being misplaced. All fixed now! Did some fiddling with hard disk recording as well; I discovered that I need a larger and faster harddrive. Spotted a 7200 rpm Seagate Barracuda IV that looks good, all I need now is some spare money... Or Send Us A Message! |
