since the last post, i've mostly been doing one of five things:
1. family christmas/thanksgiving things. things with my family, things with alyssa's family, things with my and alyssa's family together. what a tangled parf we weave.
2. growing a moustache (yes, i prefer the british spelling). i'm five weeks in, and one can easily see it from across a crowded room. that's always kind of been the litmus test for a decent 'stache for me. also, i actually had to trim it yesterday.
3. spookies practice and recording. we're well on our way to finishing recording another two songs, and we are starting to get our set for dec. 17 tight and lubricated.
4. i watch lots of things on netflix. lately, i've been rewatching mad men from the beginning and also rewatching breaking bad with alyssa, who is seeing it for the first time. such good shows. there's also dexter and the walking dead which alyssa and i have been watching every week. gots to say, dexter's recent shyamalan-esque twist totally got me, in the best way possible. i also watch various national geographic/PBS/BBC science docs that i download from eztv.
5. i am finishing up my next digital 7" single, "ctrl+z" b/w "octopus." i'm starting to think these are perfect winter songs, especially "octopus." i think i finished off all of the recording today, except for mayhaw's bass on "ctrl+z," which should be done soon. once that is done, then it's just down to the nitty gritty of mixing and mastering, which doesn't take too long with these digital 7" singles, as they're only two songs.
what's a rack tuner?
