FRIDAY 30th MARCH 2007

Recording: 'There there' (remake)
Bag-end studio - afternoon - P: Dude.

Redoing "There there", this time with overdubs. It's better, but I'm still not satisfied.

MONDAY 19th MARCH 2007

Recording: 'Cheer down' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'There there' (acoustic take)
Bag-end studio - 13:00-14:30 - P: Dude.

Adding some vocals to "Cheer down": half of the backing vocals and a try at the lead. Then I did an acoustic take of "There there", but my voice was way too loud in the mix, so I guess I will have to do it again one day.

SATURDAY 17th March 2007

Recording: 'Cheer down' (SI on take 1)
Bag-end studio - 22:20-24:00 - P: Dude.

I'm in a recording mood, nowadays :)
I did two rythm guitars for 'Cheer down': one clean that plays plain chords thru the song, and one slighty distorted which plays palm-muted root notes for the chords. Then I sarted doing the slide guitar solos. I'm not satisfied which the intro one yet, which I'll probably redo, but I'm really fond of my middle solo. I didn't think I could do it this well enough, considering the very little experience I have in the domain of bottleneck use.

THURSDAY 15th MARCH 2007

Recording: 'Casimir Pulaski day'
Recording: 'Mother of violence'
Recording: 'She painted up her face' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'Behind blue eyes' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'Sensation' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'Amazing journey' (SI on take 1)
Recording: 'We're not gonna take it' (SI on take 1)
Bag-end studio - 13:30-17:30 - P: Dude.

A very productive day of music ! I finally recorded my versions of 'Casimir Pulaski day' and 'Mother of violence', which I was planning to do for months now, and then I was warm enough to attack the beast: the second half of the 'Shove it right in' suite. It was pure fun, pure energy, pure music, .... God I felt so alive... After that I just couldn't stop: I re-did all those Who vocals I was struggling on for months, and got interrupted in the middle of 'We're not gonna take it'. Otherwise....

TUESDAY 13th MARCH 2007

Recording: 'Cheer down' (SI on take 1)
Bag-end studio - evening - P: Dude.

Finally adding some bass to the drum part I recorded so long ago.

SATURDAY 3rd MARCH 2007

Recording: 'Friendly fire medley'
Recording: 'She painted up her face' (SI on take 1)
Bag-end studio - morning - P: Dude.

Great vocal works that day. The Sean Lennon medley really was just a warm-up thing. But then I finally started actually giving life to one my greatest musical fantasy: Flo & Eddie's part of the 'Shove it right in' extravaganza ! The instrumentation in this is done by a 14 year old boy (!) named Lou, which recorded his parts in just one day, without even previously knowing the song !
