I've got this Lauren Turner tune stuck in my head. It's a great tune. But I hear it once every 3 or 4 months when I go to Trip's so I only know the chorus. It's very irritating. The song sounds like it should be the theme to the next Bond movie.
I digress.
Went to Trips house the other day and recorded my parts for Mowin' the Shoulder. Trip ended up veto'ing the "Ooh" that Jesse and I slated for me.. which was not the Ooh that I originally sang. He said the harmony didn't work so I went back and sang the Ooh that I originally wrote, which we had assigned to a girl. Confusing yet? Trip recorded an Ooh and I recorded an Ooh and then he recorded one of the staggered lines and I recorded the other... Only thing left now is for a girl to do the even further staggered harmony and that songs backing vocals will be done.
Jesse and I have discussed releasing a single on bandcamp under the In Liquid page. I think we have agreed that we'd rather Mowin' the Shoulder not be the first thing we release, but I suppose that opinion may change depending on how long it takes us to finish the other backing vocals. It's been almost a year now since the instruments were recorded.
With that in mind, I had a girl record harmonies for WH Bonnie today. We tried some stuff that I wasn't sure was gonna work and by itself I don't think it will so I'm going to have to man up and sing some high backing vocals to bridge the gap between her and Jesse to make the harmony work. Another trip to Trips. That man is going to be so tired of seeing me by the end of this year.
With luck that song can be done within the next two weeks (one week to record the harmonies and one week for Jesse to get a final mix on it) and we'll have something to show the world. Like most things, don't hold your breath.
Also, we've arrived at a second guitar player for live gigs. Josh Zerangue formerly of... to many bands to name, but most recently Noyola. He'll be picking up the slack live playing all the random instruments, most likely. Going to try working out a practice with him in the near future and if I can swing it, we'll be taking CoP on to the clubs during the week sans Jesse to try out the songs on the unsuspecting public. Might be mounting up before the albums released. That'd be nice.
That's about it for now. Hope your winter crops are planted, summer harvest is about over!
