Johan: Ah, Mr. A is back, YEAHH!! Hope you had a great time. Also sat and tried to find a good band name by reading some of the bands in my encyclopedia... no luck, though. Like the name suggestions, I'll have a chat with Mr. A later. Balanced the mix of Bleak House and listened to it in the car stereo this morning, need to lift the kick drum a little but otherwise it is darned good (in my opinion, that is)! Will finish it off in the weekend and send it off to Mr. A.

Howdy! (How corny expression is that?) Well I'm back after a week in the blazing sun of Croatia. Through the haze of home made lemon-salvia grappa I've come up with two new name suggestions: "Mercy street", and "late on earth". The first one is of course P. Gabriels great song, one of the best ever written me thinks. the other is a bit more obscure. It refers to swedish poet Gunnar ekelöfs Avantgardistic and in my opinion exremely great debut book. Cawnt wait to hear Bleakie:-)

Johan: Worked some more on Bleak House (sorry if this is getting a bit tedious). Now the vocals sound great and I managed to create a good pad sound; all it needs now is balancing the mix and we are off!

Johan: Continued working on Bleak House and Watchman, with emphasis on the former. Everything sounds as it should, except for a distorted pad sound; it has this really profound resonating tone when you sustain it which cuts through the mix and is really difficult to get rid of. Barring that, it is really finished!
