Got 9 roughs from Blake. They sound really really really cool. There's such a contrast between the songs. None of them really sound the same. Here's the order I'm thinking now with some notes(and the cover I'm thinking now is left, by Tavie Phillips or KITH fame):
1. Aquarium Filled With Barium and Vintage Wine All The Fish Will Die So On The Dead Fish We'll Dine Until We Die Or Don't Mind That I've Lost My Mind - still need to sequence the entire thing from what we recorded at the studio. Gonna start out with a snare march thing and then some piano and other stuff.
2. Fire in the Ward - Rough sounds amazing. It's an I-Pod commercial. Crazy but still danceable.
3. Your Heart in My Pocket - Need to record everything. Doing that today at Blake's place.
4. Christian Girl - The shaker is really cool, as is the tambourine. And my guitar playing is okay.
5. If E'er You Lose the Will - DARK! Blake had this idea to use the xylophone instead of a lead guitar for this riff I had written... sounds like a horror movie. So I think the scary xylophone at the end would work really well with....
6. No Color In My Dreams- starts with xylophone, but completely different feel than If E'er You Lose the Will. Think the guitar, bass and drums sound really in sync. And this song has the same chord structure as...
7. When I Go-but this song is a punk song and No Color in My Dreams is a pop country thing. Also gonna have a lot of harmonies and string stuff, so I think it will be cool to show how you can do two completely different songs with the same chord structure
8. Freedom is a Buzzword. Sounds absolutely amazing. We're so sexy on this one!
9. Whalemen All The Way - a little scared about this... sounds kind of like a mess with my guitar work being out of time and drums being a little murky, but I think we can fix it. I think it's going to sound like a Smith song when we're done with it, which is always good.
10. Love Sweet Love - Probably one of the prettiest songs I've ever done. With Erin Regan on harmony it's going to be really really good.
11. Charlie's Spanish Harlem Incident - We all kinda farted in the beginning, but should be able to fix. Sounds like we're playing at a loud bar except for the loud part. Like a place with sawdust and peanut shells on the floor. So the Rodeo Bar basically. I wish the booking guy there would get back to me...
And introducing a whole new song we didn't even plan to do!!!
12. Already Gone. Played it for Blake Thursday and he liked it a lot. It's a shame we didn't get to it in the studio because it sounds really good as a band. I think we're gonna try doing it with sequencing, but maybe we could go in the studio sometime too. Who knows.
Going to Blake's in an hour or so to record vocals for When I Go and pretty much everything but strings for Your Heart in My Pocket. Wish us luck.
