While hanging out (again) with Kathe today she was working on a website for our Campus Activities Board and had forgotten to bring cds to the office with her. Of course, I came to the rescue fresh out of an incredibly dull mixing session in the recording studio, and proceeded to play the following for well over two hours: Lost Out, Punk, Deadweight, Inadequacy Song, Five Minutes, Touch, Afterglow, Falling Down, Hold On Me, Will It Ever Come?, All That’s True, A Long Time Since, Splinter, Under My Skin, Other Plans, Gravel, Both Hands, Tear In Your Hand, Never Say Goodbye, No Second Chance, World In My Hand, Typical, More Than That, Resolve, Relief, Revirginized Honey, Nothing To Say, Hide Your Eyes, Give, Burn, Make Sense, & Bridge. Yeah, that’s a lot of songs, and one or two were even omitted for time’s sake, if you could imagine. If it had been a real concert, intermission would have started after “Never Say Goodbye,” and the encore began the very rare (not played once in all of 2000) “Hide Your Eyes.” Lyrics to everything except the three covers can be grabbed from AMkitchen‘s lyric page. So… i’m all guitar-ed out for the day; my fingers are all frayed and dented and my voice is in nearly the same condition, although that tends to yield more fun results than numbed-out fingertips. Bed-time quickly approached.

If, when you sit down to start mixing your demo cd, you nearly pass out and proceedingly recall that you haven’t eaten anything that most people would consider to be a meal in well over 24hours, that typically is when you should leave the recording studio. It helps if you just nailed your last track, tho…

Well, after a two hour wrestling match with “Tear in You Hand,” i’ve come to the conclusion that not all ideas which begin in my head wind up sounding right once outside of it. Just like the piano in “Crashing” (which sounds quite lovely on it’s own, but clashes like hell with the guitar), an all-me version of “Tear in Your Hand” seems like it would sound cool, but it really really doesn’t. The song is at once too low and too high for me, and even though the microphone generally makes up for what i lack in range, i just can’t carry the song with any kind of enthusiastic tempo. So, it’ll stay on the tape for posterity, but i think i’m done with that little experiment. So… um… did i have something else to record?

I had totally intended for this Demo to be an EP (extended play). In the olden days, they were sorta like ultra-singles that had five or six songs on them. EP’s are a rarer thing these days, mostly showing up as ultra-long singles or as inbetweener albums for indy bands (though i have a definite recollection of a Spice Girls EP coming out a year or two ago).

Anyhow, my demo was meant to be six to eight songs, so i figured that even at eight it would be short enough to be an EP, and so it’d be an EP. Of course, now it’s up to eleven songs, and i’m still working on a few on the side. Sure, i could still call it an EP, but it’s a full length album if i stick with the songs i’ve got. But, i don’t want it to be a full length album – the whole point of this was to focus on a small group of songs and make them really good. What i forsee happening is me recording what will amount to an hour of material, mixing it down in several variations onto several CDs, and then bringing it home to assemble the disc there. Of course, this all has to happen in a week or two, which means i have to figure out how the hell i can get more available memory onto freaking Pro-tools so i can mix more than one song per cd… blah. eight more minutes of formatting…

(if you were wondering, i’m back in the studio to experiment a little before i clean up tomorrow, and i’ve got to wait 20 more minutes for my stupid ADAT tapes to get done formatting. I swear… if i ever do this again, i’m gonna buy a fucking gross of pre-formatted ADAT tapes. And there’s gonna have to be a fridge in here, because i’m always starving. Argh. 15 more minutes…)
