Day 1 comes to a close for tracking a new Sweet Mighty Moses song. I’m keeping a few of the details under wraps until a later date (when its finished), but that won’t be too long.

Here’s what I’ve accomplished thus far today. Drums tracked. Bass tracked, rhythm guitars done. Tomorrow, I’m looking at vocals and guitar leads. (Also, prolly some more BBQ.) Then, a mix and I should be ready to release it. If its good, and it will be, I may do a video for it.

Ready for day 2.

Happy Black Friday, y’all

That’s all we’re saying right now. Stay tuned for a new development on Friday.

If you have a free moment this week, check out the new Dead Horse Trauma album “Infestation”. It just hit the streets after an amazing CD release party Saturday night at House of Bricks.

Dead Horse Trauma Promo.

Generally, I think of myself as a relatively progressive individual, but recently, I’ve noticed myself slipping farther and farther into my retro-grouchy ways.

For example, I got a supped-up iPhone a few months ago. I really thought it was going to be some sort of spiritual experience. As it turns out, I could care less about being that connected. The Dukeberry was bad enough, but I found myself less and less interested with the entire micro-screen connectivity experience.

For me, a phone is a phone. I value the clarity of the call and the ability for the phone to hold the call even if I roll under a canopy of trees.

So, I’m sitting here on the fence. Do I retrograde back to my old RAZR, or do I keep suffering along with the iPhone, dropping calls and letting unused data plan bites chip away at me for the next unforeseen future?

Worst case scenario, you’ll see a sweet iPhone hitting Craigslist with all the goodies for a bargain basement price.

News Flash: Trooper shoots family dog.

Apparently trooper Michael Current shot a neighbors dog after work.

1. Why does anyone let cops take their damn guns home?
2. Who shoots a dog? Really!

I think it would be better to shoot a trooper than a dog. But, that’s just me. And I figure, you only shoot something that can shoot back.

BTW, I got caught in the middle of that bank robbery absurdity that went down today. The feeling of being in the midst of a half dozen idiots drawing guns is a helluva rush. Seriously, who gives these people guns. The sight of 5 of the black and blue chasing a fat, border-line-homeless guy down was well worth the potential of catching a stray slug in the chest. Good day to wear a vest, I’d say. Good day.

Yep, we’ve been rather quiet recently. Although, if you’ve been around the neighborhood, the Mint has been buzzing with activity. So, here’s the quick update. Construction is well under way. We’re about a week and a half to two weeks ahead of schedule and that is due to some real champs on the force digging in and getting the work done. Big ups to Papa Joe, J, Matty J, Chad, Steve and Bob and a few other fine folks who have been crackin’ down on the hard work recently.

If I’ve missed anyone who’s had a hand in this, I apologize. I’ve just spent the past two hours inhaling 57 year old ceiling tile and rusty sheet metal that some old miser has been stashing away in crawl spaces and attics, selfishly waiting for a post-WWIII Iowa to emerge and build himself a shanty.

I’ve finally retired the Dukeberry. After two years of handling my business via the Dukeberry, I’ve made the change. I picked up an iDuke the other day and so far, couldn’t be happier. Do what you will with this information.

About to head down to the Fleur to see the second round of 48 hour films. Best of luck to white poison!
