L-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh-ve
We had a great gig at Courtyard Cafe' for our MidPoint Music Fest showcase - thanks to all the fresh faces who came out! Even Dancing Man - he never quit. Despite the lack of monitors folks say we managed to put out a good show and even got to have a little audience voting on our next-to-final song. Farmer was happy about that...
Last night we met at the studio (Sonic Arts in downtown Cincinnati!) to talk about the status of the album and dub some stuff. Preston added a space bass sound effect to the beginning of Superdave and some more vocals on a whole bunch of songs. Randy wanted me to be sure and mention that in "Only Love" he sings "lllluuuuhhhhhhve" while everyone else goes "ahhhhhhhhh"... oh, that Randy!
Jim, Preston & I got out the bag of noisemakers and added a bunch of percussion to "Suddenly" while Randy manned the controls. Lots of fun. It certainly thickened up the chorus a bunch too.
Heading into the home stretch for the next album we picked about 5 songs to take a swing at. We'll see how many can get polished and make the album. For "Live My Life" we left two on the cutting room floor. Oct. 28th is the scheduled "final tracking" day, and after that it a rush to overdub everything & mix. In a little while we hope to have a wonderful present for every Mimes fan out there... but we can't spoil the surprise just yet.
