great success

i am very excite because at this exact moment i am listening to operation joykill's breakthrough release "a face for radio a voice for silent film" at least i think that is the title we agreed on. it sounds awesome. i can't wait for all you readers of my blog to hear what we just did in a studio setting. everything really does sound great. here is a recap of the last few days.
monday: i was still at home. i went to casey's dads visitation and it was pretty sad, but casey seemed to be ok. hats of to him for handling the death of his father so well.
tuesday: journey back to sioux center. we had a brief ojk practice and then immediately left for sioux falls to start the first day of recordings. we kicked it right in the butt. we finished the drum tracks as well as the bass tracks. hats off to phil and walhof for rocking with some consistency. i celebrated.
wednesday: this day had lazy spring break written all over it. we did not have the studio booked so i did pretty much nothing. i realized that my finger nails were uncomfortably long. all my roomates had taken their clippers with them. i went to wal mart because i really wanted to clip my finger nails. i located a clipper and took my usual stroll through the cd aisle. i found that the movie taledega nights was on sale so i made purchasings of that. i then went to the video store and rented magnolia because i have the option of watching it for a class. i laid on the couch and watched the movie. lazy day.
thursday: basically thursday was spent listening the the tracks we laid down on tuesday and finding all the little oopsies that we made and then fixing them. technology is amazing. you can do pretty much anything with that little computer thing. many parts were fixed with a few clicks of the mouse. some parts i had to replay but i had not problems with that. paul then did the same thing with his guitar parts and the started vocals. our good friend elliot was in the studio to offer us fun. we accepted his fun and it was had. we then went to a little concert. sparta and moneen and private drive were playing in sioux falls. the show started right around when we were done in the studio, a sign. we went. private drive was good. moneen was mind blowing and sparta was again lackluster.
friday: again we find ojk in cathouse studios. friday was pretty much vocals. for the first time in a long time i was nervous about doing something related to rock music. i am not the best singer, but i managed to amaze myself and i was able to lay down some good vocal tracks. paul is good. he only needed one take for most of the songs and they sound amazing. mike our super producer then mixed and mastered all the songs right before our eyes and we walked out of cathouse studios with an amazing product. here is the happy part. in total this whole project cost around $450. that is so much cheaper than we expected. now we just have to make copies and start selling them. recordings should be up on myspace/purevolume shortly so be sure to check those areas.
i then went to a midnight showing of the new ninja turtles movie which i will rant about later.
we then went to paul's to listen to our product and low it was very good.
happy times.
