Writing here on Fat Tuesday while the lasses are watching fat people
on TV (the Biggest Loser).
Today I've actually been preoccupied writing for a Romanian blog.
The editor requested that some of the Gardes write for it, and it's turning
into a lengthy piece.
Talking to Joel (Hibbs) on the celly earlier, he brainstormed a new Gardes movie. We're invited to Romania, and soon we're about to be sacrificed in a ritual. Vampires are after us in every which way, and we have to escape. It'll be one of the greatest vampire rock flicks ever. I was hoping for an apparition from T. Rex and an appearance from Tyson Meade, who shows up to teach English as a foreign language and helps us with our master plan escape.
We've got works in the works coming up this weekend. Joel and I are co-producing/directing/ writing a new movie starring Shaun Buller and others. It'll be an upgrade in the quality department from previous productions. The sound will be recorded separately, therefore the audio will be mixed more legibly. Also, it will be high def. Looking forward to see how this turns out.
There's a drum session going down to hopefully finish up the Gardes new album this weekend, in the land where the Gardes were born (as an idea), in Ponca City, the entertainment capitol of the United States. (I heard Randy Crouch say that one time.) Hopefully, the new Gardes album will be finished the week after, but we'll keep our fingers crossed. From Portland to Ponca to Okc to Tulsa, this album has developed in the womb forever (all round these 50 states and more), and finally begun with the ultimate recording last May. To anyone who knows anything about recording, that may seem weird to be adding drum tracks as one of the final processes of making an album, but we've gone about this in all different ways, live and with overdubs, and we've made this work before.
I just finally got on Spotify for the first time the other day, and right now I'm digging on the Foster The People album, Torches. I've never been one of those people that rush to the store to pick up the new model of the latest technology, but I usually come around to it all eventually.
Sorry that sometimes the blog posts are just a few sentences long. Sometimes this place has a real shitty connection, and I just want to make a post. I called the provider, they said the signal was strong, maybe it's the router, and finally I remembered I have a router packed away out of town that I'll pick up this weekend. So maybe I won't have any more excuses.
Here's an article I ran across, I'm going to start providing a link here sometimes to a post I've read during the week-
it's the history of the music industry so far-
