We put down 14 demos of her songs plus three covers (Joanna Newsom, a song from the Lion King musical, and a Bjork cover) in about 3 hours. We did very good on time and made some decent demos (except for a clock on the wall that is, unforunately, pretty audible. Will note that for next time!) Hopefully later this week I’ll be able to work with Kelly as we didn’t get a chance this past Thursday or weekend.

I’ve been playing around with the layout of the website. I’m pretty poor at this web editing business, but know very well how to work around things. Maybe one day I’ll find time to learn how to do it (especially since I have the CS3 suite. It would make sense to put it to use.) Let me know your comments, and especially a way to make the twitter RSS in the top right look decent.

Here’s a quick life update.

- Started the new school year, looking to travel. College fairs and High School visits mostly in St. Louis, though some in the Quad Cities in northern Illinois, and Iowa.
- I recorded vocals for Dear Future last weekend. Brandon and Paul came down and lent their pipes to one of their new songs. They have a new EP in the works that sounds pretty promising. It seems a little down-tempo to the last one, but I think it’ll turn out pretty mature.
- I began work with Kelly Latimore last week as well. I’m very excited about this. Kelly is probably the most underrated artist currently residing in Greenville. We’re not sure exactly where to go yet, but we demoed several songs and should have a bit more direction next meeting on Thursday. I can’t wait to really develop his songs and get him a very good sounding EP/LP.
- Sunday night I watched the wonderful Steph Plant perform at Greenville’s bed and breakfast Chartreuse. Steph is probably the best singer I have ever heard in my life in person, if not ever. I’m still pretty foggy on where to take her music as I’ve never heard her perform with any other accompaniment except her guitar or mountain dulcimer. While her music would be beautiful as is, I’d like to see where we could take it. She does share similarities with Regina Spektor, and her music is primarily piano and Regina, though a few songs are more produced. Regina also has a bit more of a pop feel, which lends itself to beats and such other glitter.
- Lastly, there may be a very interested development with me and the studios here in Greenville. More on that when more is known.

That is all until the future is here.

Brandon Ross is apparently the only person who wants to know, but he’s enough…
We’re gonna go back to Greenville in two weeks and records 4 new songs, and do some more overdubs on Terror, and send them to be mixed by Atlanta’s Matt Goldman.  Matt produced such great sounding records including Copeland’s Beneath the Medicine Tree, the Chariot’s two releases as well as one of the guys who worked on the new Underoath cd.  He’s done many other records before, and seems to be the perfect fit for this EP.  More details will come in the next month or so.  In the meantime, check out Kate’s blog.

Okay, okay
Chase

Last night Geoff Gracey (formally of the band Westcott) joined on drums.  Rob has moved over to vocals from his previous position as drummer, and a couple weeks ago Chris Henningfeld joined on bass.  We’re all set.  We’re going to start recording on Saturday, hopefully drums for two songs with all other instruments quickly after…

Anyway, last night we talked about changing our band name.  We’re considering the name “Pilate” as in Pontious Pilate.  What does everyone think?  Is it cool?  Is it better than When Sorrow Fails (which is a very cliche name, to influence your response…)?

I also bought The Times They are A-Changing by Bob Dylan and two other Cash cds.

WSF is recording April 19th and 20th in Nashville at Ocean Way studios.  I’m excited.  4 to 5 songs.

Friday night I recorded drums for one of Enoch’s songs and it turned out pretty good.  Then Matt and Jonny recorded drums after I was done so I hung out with them till around 4AM.  Also pretty good.  But the amazing part of the weekend came on Saturday.

Anathallo played in the blackroom

My favorite band played at my school and they were ridiculously good.  They sounded so amazing.  They did 3 new songs that were written as one big movement (so they all went right into the next one) that totally blew me away.  Matt and I recorded the show so I can’t wait to bring it into Pro Tools sometime this week and just listen to it again.  Oh, if I could only describe it with words that would even come close to how amazing it was.  If you missed it you should kick youself (Katie!)  We got to hang out with the band after the show.  We went to Pokey’s and they followed me there.  It was kind of funny: my favorite band followed me to Pokey’s.  They were such nice guys and we got to ask them a bunch of questions about the band, being in school in Michigan and their interests.  So cool.  I hope they can come down and play another show here again maybe next semester or next year.

Anyways, Sunday Cool Hand Luke played with a couple other bands including Berry and Aireline who were all equally amazing.  We also recorded that show.  So including the Lexington show from a while ago, we have three whole concerts to mix.  Sweet
