Recorded with S-L yesterday. Recording is always a harrowing, exhausting experience. I'm very anal when it comes to material that I'll have a hand in marketing and distributing. And it's very easy to get down and see art as a garbage dump and artists as mere garbage people who work there. Releasing a piece of art, in a way, can be viewed as a trip to the dump. "Art" being the dump, and humans contributing to it. The process is very similar, but recording studios are usually in someones keyboard filled basement. Even the man who works at the dump, the rock-processor. All he does is make big rockes littler. It's a process of grinding down a piece of wilderness until it can be used. Rocks are used to put over the fresh contributions to the dump, and artists grind down material until artists are ready to throw their music, or art, or words around in a cafe or beer hall. Bah. Enough of dumps.
Before recording I made breakfast for everybody and someone brought gin over for martinis. After recording all day I rehearsed with J-D and the R, as we have a CD release coming up soon. This week in fact. Wedesday, the 02nd of 06/04. at St3amer's Pub.
I purchased hair wax today. A first.
I had a very long sleep last night. Which was good. I just closed my eyes, and drifted off.

Posted by: Tweek at May 31, 2004 7:51 PMYeah, I realized that sometime after I wrote that. I remember Jay phoning and saying, "Buddy liked the CD, he wants to put us down for a Wednesday night..."
Blah. Oh well. Good thing I haven't been telling anyone about the show then!
