Studio Journal 7/28

Today was semi productive. Shaun came over, and we put vocals down on the hot new version of Bloody Wombat Clamps. We then wrote lyrics for the hot hot heat style song, tentatively titled “Homophones and Alliterations,” and wrote lyrics for the new pornographers/bowie style song, thats probably gonna be titled “The Kibbosh,” a song we are expecting to most likely be the hottest song on the album. we’re really digging it. we decided we most likely feel about it the way electric six must have felt when they finished writing “Danger High Voltage.” Speaking of E6, guess who’s birthday its gonna be when they roll into G-vegas on October 8th! That’s right! Chevy Chase! But its also gonna be my birthday, so that weekend will most likely rock quite hard…in the middle of the street. So anyways, we also re-recorded the vocals for the Zutons style song, working title “The Zutons style song.” We’re not sure how we feel about this one, but i’m sure it will still make the cut, because if we start cutting songs because they arent very good, then we’ll end up with an album with no songs on it. So yeah, that’s about all we did today. The album is most likely shaping up for a late fall release, most likely November or December. We’ll try to hand out free sampler CDs at shows as we get songs completed. Apon reading this journal entry back, i’ve found that i’ve said “most likely” 5 times. oh god, i just said it again, 6 times. I leave you now with my songs of the week. Byeeeeee.
