Just a couple of quick hits today...
1) J. sent the drum & bass tracks for two of the three songs tonight. Still waiting on the drums & bass for the potential big single, but now we at least have something to work off of! My plan tomorrow is to not only upload the tracks to my ipod, but also to burn a CD with everything, so I can listen both at home and in the car. Demo first in the order, then just the drums and bass. Easier to hear where the parts will fall that way. Thankfully, J. also left a series of written notes on the way he has set up the tracks. I glanced at them as I was downloading the music earlier. I'll have to go through them more carefully tomorrow. Can't wait to get started on my parts.
2) Apparently B. went out today and picked up her USB Microphone, along with a pop filter and a mic stand. And apparently the guy who sold her the gear wants to hear the record when it's finished. I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet, I just got a text message while I was at work. That should be a fun chat in the next few days.
3) As for me, I played through the tune she sent me the chords for the other night. The one that will probably be the 4th one we work on. It's always been a cool sounding progression, but it's even more fun to remember how it's done. It provides an interesting look into the way we wrote all those years ago. The things we tried (and found successful) that theory might not have predicted. Sometimes you have to know the rules in order to break them, and sometimes the rules break on their own accord.
