3 long days later..

So it was a long 3 days at Pus Cavern but the Pullout album is finished! It doesn't have a name yet but we are are all very happy with the finished project. Working with Joe at Pus Cavern has always been an awesome experience and this time was no different. This time was actually much easier than when I was in there to record Fire the Faith with Monster Squad. Probably because I didn't have guitar parts that I need to nail over and over again. I did find that singing in the studio is a very physically tiring experience. A couple times my tendons in the back of my neck locked up and I fell to the ground from excruciating pain. At first, I thought I was having a brain anurism but I talked with Jason Dcoi and Richey Russel and they both have had that happen to them before. It was a shitty paralyzing feeling, but the vocals needed to get finished in a short time, so I manned up and just delt with the head ache. I was able to finish all the vocals and lyrics in time and I think they came out well.

We are thinking of calling the album Eagles & Vultures, it is a new song on the album. Most of the lyrics on the album are about the goods and evils in life (IE. Government, friendships gone wrong, addictions, The state of the Country.) It seems like a fitting title for the album, but we will see what happens.

We slept at the studio for a couple nights and managed to keep our selves entertained, mostly with alcohol. The first night we just relaxed and talked about meaningless shit. We walked like 2 miles to a McDonalds late at night. Justin Dcoi and I walked through the drive through because we didn't have a car. For some reason most place won't let you walk through the drive through but this guy was cool and let us order some poison that is McDonalds.

The next night we went to a Fashion Show in Downtown Sacramento. Now, this was originally supposed to be like 10 dudes rolling to this thing but at the last minute everyone bailed except 3 of us. We had free tickets and DJ Jazzy Jeff was supposed to DJ. For all of you who lived under a rock during the early 90's, DJ Jazzy Jeff was Will Smith's DJ before he blew up on Fresh Prince, he was also "Jazz" on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Turns out, he canceled last minute so I sat at a table for about 30 minutes while the models changed clothes in front of me. Best seat in the house.

Work sucks, wish I was on tour.
