Oh Yeah

Not much to report today.  It's Valentine's Day.  But obviously, as I'm blogging, there is something.

I was cheated from slumber today as I hearkened to the ring ring ring of my telephone at a early hour of 10am.  It was Rick calling.  He wanted to borrow an old Sigma acoustic guitar that was sitting around in my room.  He wanted to hotrod it into a "campfire beater."  I said okay and got dressed, apparently he was around the corner when he called.

Anyway, that wasn't that big of a deal.  I was already 2 hours more into sleep than I was planning on since I told my girlfriend to wake me up at 8am when she woke up... She woke me up and instead of hanging out with her like I had originally wanted, my sleep deprived body said "okay, have fun, I'm going back to sleep." I haven't been sleeping well.

I made a doctors appointment and ran some errands and headed over to Trips house about noon.  I was picking up the final mixes from the In Liquid album.  Have to do some final listens to make sure the whole album sounds roughly the same.  I haven't had a chance to listen yet since I left Trips house and immediately went to work and just got home from that.  While I was used to working 9-10 hour shifts for the last 4 years at the casino, this past month of working 4 hour shifts has left me unprepared to actually work 8's again.  I'll be burning cd's for Cheesy, Jesse and I in the morning so we can each listen and make commentary.  Which will most likely end up being Jesse making commentary since Cheesy seems totally disinterested in the whole process and I simply lack the ear.

But while I was at Trips, I did manage to do something CoP related.  I laid down a lead vocal for Holy Man.  Lots and lots of "oh yeah" in that song.  I didn't snap any pictures for today's blog so you'll all just have to imagine me yelling "oh yeah" into a mic and Trip trying not to giggle and he says "uh... okay, do it again, watch your pitch on yeah."

It was funny.  Trust me.

So that's about it... In Liquid album almost done, Cowboys of Porridge album about 50% done on lead vocals...  Still trying to get Kory to do a lead vocal on something.  Beginning of March not looking like a good release date anymore, but maybe the end of March.  We can release it for my birthday.  Maybe on March 29th, the same date Stephen Lynch is playing the House of Blues in Houston.

Happy Valentine's day to all your lucky oatlings out there and may this years harvest be as bountiful as lasts.
