Life in the Bighouse

Recording went relatively well—finally.

Monday started off smoothly but quickly went to pot.  As you may recall from my earlier post, there was an argument over seating arrangements. That argument quickly turned into an energetic furball (yes, literally).  The engineer, Disco Mouse, is a devout atheist (a fact that *should* have been brought to my attention as a peacekeeping measure) and apparently, in a fit of frustration, made some snide comment to Grim. Loomis—much to Disco’s surprise, I’d wager—rolled Disco for “missing the point” and “being just as guilty.”

Tuesday was a total wash. I thought it best to have a “chill day” to let everyone’s tempers settle a bit.

Today went very very well. Disco was a complete professional and L & G remained quite civil the entire time. All in all, apart from a few sizable bald spots, some minor flesh wounds, and a couple of knocked over microphone stands, no damage was done; and we have a product to show for our efforts! All three are are so happy with it, there is already talk of a video. We’ll see how that goes. They may lose interest. One can hope.

In the meantime, take a listen and let us know what you think: Let it Go!

Loomis and Grimfield approached me this morning about recording a Christmas song. I know! Surprised me as well.

They really seem to want to do it, and I decided I should help foster their creativity. At the very least, perhaps it’ll get them off the couch for a bit. They do need the exercise.

So here we are in the studio. They are busy arguing with the engineer about being too close to one another in the sound booth (Loomis’ wheelchair does take up a bit of room), so while the engineer rearranges things, I’m posting this. Wish us luck. So far it’s been a long day.

No. This isn’t engrish. And it’s not an attack on Christmas. We’re celebrating our first snow of the year, you ninnies! Now in reality, the snow was Saturday, but I saw this other snow on a site and thought it would be a nice (totally useless) touch to the Bighouse.

Yes. It’s been a while. Just over eight months, if I’m counting correctly. My apologies, but I’ve been a bit distracted with other projects. The good news is, as you may have noticed, there is a brand new Life in the Bighouse episode. Enjoy and wish me luck on keeping up with it for a while.
