Studio Time
My band went into the studio for the first time today. Our intention is to put out a six-song EP at some point in the next few weeks.
Today we tracked all the instruments. We recorded live with minimal punch ins and only a few overdubs (twin leads!!!).
I’ll have to book another studio day to lay down vocal tracks and add whatever sorts of embellishments we can think of between now and...

sweet relief
So I’ve been fighting a sinus infection for something like a month now. I pretty much dovetailed my allergy season straight into this never-ending sinus infection. I feel like I’ve tried everything.
I took a two-week course of anti-biotics which seemed to help for a minute. But three days later, the sniffle came back.
That brings me to yesterday when a co-worker suggested I try a...

Middlesex
Finished Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides last week. It was recommended to me by several close friends. I enjoyed it a lot. The author makes believable some pretty outlandish things (eat your heart out, John Irving), and he treats his characters with tenderness and realism.
Typically, I don’t go in for the multi-generational, historical epic, but recently I’ve begun to dig them...

clusterfuck (plural clusterfucks)
(vulgar) A chaotic mess similar to group rape. Its more precise usage describes a particular kind of Catch-22, in which multiple complicated problems mutually interfere with each other’s solution. The looser usage, referring to any chaotic situation, probably prevails.
Examples:
