In the recording studio in Miami to continue working on tracks for the new albums with the guys. still working on two albums at once. The official new one, now being called ‘all your heroes always become villains,’ and ‘Girls.’ About twenty-five songs in all. we are completing drums and bass and my rhythm guitars. Then the files will be copied to DVDs to give to Rockaway and  Vancouver and they will be free to add as many guitar and keyboard tracks as they want to in their spare time at their home studios or wherever they are in the world. the way we are doing it now is everyone is free to go crazy and lay down as much as they want to however they want to. they will layer the shit out of the tracks with ideas. They will send the new DVDs to me. I will listen and make notes. Then the new new DVDs will be sent to Fred at the dungeon to edit and choose  the tracks that he likes out of everything they laid down. I will begin completing my lyrics for the songs and fleshing out all of the different vocal parts I want to add. I will then fly back down here to work out the vocals with trophy wife and zeke who will sing backups with me and the other guys and we will work in zekes studio on vocals because he is great at tracking vocals. And then those new dvds go back to Fred to clean up more and edit more and begin mixing. Then the new edited DVDs will go out to Kamran in San fran and pouchon in New York to grab bits and pieces that they like and start fucking with the sound of everything that has been laid down. Then back to Fred to mix some more. We have never recorded this way before but it is not only possible but preferable now in this new age of recording technology. A very free and creative approach to creating music. very different than the ‘five guys in a garage’ approach we took for nothing is cohesive. eventually someone will be chosen to mix it all together and make finished product out of it. the tracks will then fly to G2 in Chile to chill with for a few weeks to begin designing artwork ideas for the CD, and then onto someone else in a different city to master and then a different city to manufacture. Eventually the distributor in Colorado gets the finished cds in big crates at their warehouse and then begins shipping them all over the country to stores and the Internet to sell. This is the way music is being created and sold in the year 2005. for now I can chill and just wait to hear what the other guys lay down.
