So I had completely forgotten about MC’s recording session tonight.. but no big deal. We got a lot done on ‘Depleted Uranium’ – this track is going to be _insane_ – I’m thinking of having Patti #2 [Henceforth referred to as Rickshaw Patti to avoid confusion.. I think that’s her name.. I’m so bad with names] do the vocals. Yes, it’s going to have vocals! Tory is letting me write the words, and of course, with a title like depleted uranium you know they’re going to be .. hm.. interesting. I’ll post the first draft sometime..<\/p>\n
But, in the meantime, we got a lot done, and we had a short jam session afterwords in which we made some serious progress towards adding ‘Don’t fear the reaper’ to our covers repitoire.. which I think would be FUNNY as anything. Especially since Alex is going to get a actual, real cowbell to play on stage, and we’re going to try and find a copy of the SNL cowbell skit, and grab some samples…<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I talked to a person who is going to do our costumes, maybe. Our costumes, for those of you not in the know:<\/p>\n
me: white gandalf robe lined with blue glow wire, blue felt pointy hat with fiber-optic designs that flash to the MIDI beat.
\nTory: Mad scientists coat, ‘Doc Brown’ style glasses lined with glow wire.
\nAlex: Day-glo double-breasted suit lined with white glow wire, sceptre (think Ruby Rohd) that pulses to the MIDI beat<\/p>\n
It’s gonna be great. Doubt if we’ll have them done by the CD release party, but I expect we’ll have them before our show on the 30th.. <\/p>\n
I’ve never been in a band with costumes, and a logo before. (much less a CD! ;-))<\/p>\n
Also, Tory is going to do Karioke with me sometime, and do ‘don’t fear the reaper’. (if it’s not available in kareoke-disk form, we’ll just record the backing tracks to our version.. I mean, hey, why not? ;-))<\/p>\n
Other plans: Making ‘wheels-of-autumn’ style lighter-stickers with our web site and our logo on them.<\/p>\n
