Work continues on the as-yet-untitled Squeaky recording. Karl calls it SlayBacon and I call it Do Both. We have no idea what we're doing with this recording, we know from experience that not many people will hear it, let alone care. But we think it's great, and we're gonna keep going nuts with it until somebody stops us. Karl finished most of his vocals last night, we may have a little touch-up work to do on one song, but he was the priority, since he will soon be out of pocket when Baby Blue arrives. Everybody sang their asses off, vocal parts were written where none existed previously, rough mixes were mixed, and generally, it was great to hang with my best friends and work on music together. It struck Steve and I this morning that these are great songs, some of our finest ever. And that we really have been a band for a long time. We know exactly what we want out of a recording, including some sloppiness and imprecision, and we know how to communicate what we want. At this point, a "producer" would just get in the way. Sure, it would be "better," but who wants that?
