baby steps
This is my attempt to start and maintain a blog for The Age of Rockets. I have started and failed at this many times. Mostly I don't understand how to mix personal things with band news things. It always comes across a bit clunky. Also as you may well know I am something of an deranged egomaniac (I base my own self worth 50% what I eat and 50% myspace hits) so when this little bloggy doesn't end up getting comments I will probably not be all that interested in it. So I guess I will just launch right into it:
Band News: Things are going fairly well for us here at camp rocket. We are hard at work (read: have not done much lately) with the new album. I am getting very excited about it. Recording real instruments like cello and drums has made it such an enjoyable recording experience. I am a bit tired of the way synths sound. Which I guess is my fault for not trying to make more interesting sounds. However there is no sense in making another album that sounds like "The Drive Home".
It's hard to really fully commit to the new album when I am so worried about label representation and I guess general management issues. I do this thing where I have so many things to think about that i just end up doing a whole lot of worrying and not a lot of working. Hopefully this is going to turn around. Saul is headed up to New Hampshire for a month and so Bess and I are going to hunker down and get the string parts written and recorded. We are also going to work on getting drums recorded for a bunch of the songs. Adam Christgau (Gregory and The Hawk, Jenny Owen Youngs, Paper and Sand) is going to be handling drum duties. He is without a doubt thee sickest drummer I have ever had the pleasure of working with and his mere presence on the future album makes me tingle in my girl parts (I don't have girl parts).
I am going to go make some tacos.
wish me luck
