Apparently I don’t have a bed anymore. It’s been overrun with cats.
Happy record store day!
The lines have been ridiculous on this indie Black Friday, but brave the storm anyway and go pick up something analog.
Hump day hype music. Up and at them!
Brunch at JAM Restaurant in Logan Square:
German chocolate pancakes, with pecan brittle and coconut caramel, topped with a toasted maple marshmallow. PLUS some of the freshest orange juice ever, personally squeezed by Brandon our server.
Happy Easter.
Lazy Saturdays are for cat cuddle parties.
The B-side to yesterday’s post are photos from another full-band tracking session, this time with Jess Godwin.
Fresh off her stint at SXSW, we tracked out a new song of hers. She’ll be returning to the studio later this week for another session.
She’s a busy gal, and you catch her around town just about any time for the next few months. Plus, she’ll be playing a show at Subterranean in Chicago in May with Gersten Hayward from Twin Peaks.
Busy week last week, and here’s some photos from a studio session with The Gentlemen’s Guild. Basic tracks were laid down on three tracks for an upcoming EP, with an overdub session scheduled for tomorrow.
RIYL: The Mercury Program, Sharks Keep Moving, Don Caballero, American Football, Tortoise, and mathematics.
On a related note, I’m pretty sure the Glyn Johns’ drum miking technique is my new favorite anything. We put additional close mics on the toms, as well as a kick out and room mics, to get some extra punch and oomph to the drums.
What a lovely day in the neighborhood! It feels so wonderful to finally be outside without all the bundling…
As of late I’ve been a bit of a mad scientist in the kitchen, combining whatever stray ingredients I have just because my cabinets are so empty. For instance on Thursday, I made macaroni + cheese and stuffing. (Note: it went together surprisingly well).
Today was no different. These are pancakes cooked with dandies (vegan marshmallows) and leftover raspberry Hugs from Valentine’s Day. We used only a minute drizzle of syrup just for a little extra extra sweetness. Oh dear lord, yes.
Now what was I just saying about Unicorn breakfasts?
This is about to happen all over my kitchen table.
Happy Valentine’s Day. Best dinner ever.
RIP, Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN. Birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero, The Appleseed Cast’s Peregrine, Explosions In The Sky’s All Of A SuddenI Miss Everyone, and maybe a zillion other records of my past (cough Mudvayne cough). It may be closed now, but will re-open under a new name in a few months.
Remember THIS post? Bucket list, check.
