b-b-b-birthdays

Today is WJP's 30th birthday. Congratulations! Thanks to wikepedia.com I found out that Baby Spice, Goedele Liekens, Jeff Koons and some of our favorite singers (Billy Ocean, Freddy Breck and Placido Domingo) also celebrate their birthdays today. So now you know too.

road trip

it's never enough

With Boyke and WJP behind a computer in 's-Hertogenboch doing some pre mixing and Rob still on some Thai beach, JL, Ted and I decided to revisit some guitar parts. One last attempt before our (final) recording session at The Void, to make what's already good even better. JL percussive, distorted ramblin' in Try Harder could be just what was missing. MKMV already had a great 'Autobahn' feel. What we came up with Yesterday makes it sound like the perfect soundtrack for a highway cruise through the desert. Adding some extra guitars to The Charm didn't work out though. What's already there, simply seems to be good enough.

saturday afternoon conversation

With Rob far and away and without Boyke due to a combination of flue and a hangover, we spent the afternoon in 's-Hertogenbosch. Listening to the music, we discussed where we stand at this point and how to finish the album.
It looks like there's going to be one more recording sessions at The Void, early February. In March and April we'll be mixing, hopefully to be ready for mastering in May. Getting it done earlier is simply impossible. We're behind on payments already... Hey, we've got artwork, a new website and a live set to worry about. Perhaps we can even get a label interested. We won't be bored.
