beautiful noises

Returned home from a short TX tour burst... had our good friends Flawless Escape along in support... it was nothing short of an Epic time. Now back in the studio working on 'Where My Communist Heart Meets My Capitalist Mind'... Doug Wilson made beautiful guitar noises today that I recorded. This was also nothing short of Epic. Tomorrow I think we will dabble in some bass... then possibly keys and synths... then guitars... then more guitars... then probably keys again... them perhaps some vocals, then dare I say... background vocals. It's all on the calendar and it's all going to be done, and somehow its all organized as well. Long week... but it's looking to be productive. We have an outdoor festival show in Austin this coming weekend as well that'll pull us out of the studio for the day... man, it's going to be hot, but so it goes if one chooses to live and do festival shows in Austin TX. Today it was 102degrees, the heat index was well in the teens if not 20's. Now I know there are other places like say Arizona that are hotter than Austin TX... but seriously... there is something about the heat here. And yes I know people say that about everywhere... but it's just a little different here. Unrelenting and brutal. Regardless... we soldier on.

ps: listen to the new Arcade Fire record. It's been the only cd in the SUR van for the last several days... its takes about 3 listens to actually get it. But once you 'get it,' its earth shattering.
