So for a few weeks now it has been postulated that at some point we might throw together a “for real” bluegrass ensemble to record two tunes that lean in that direction, “Beauty Lay Beneath the Wheel” (a song central to our Murder at a Circus Sideshow mini-opera) and “With His Blood” (my best stab [...]
Let the people know that on Tuesday March 2nd in the year our lord 2010, drum tracking for “Centennial” was officially WRAPPED.
Mr. Andy Hurt capped it off in bravura style (naturally), finishing no less than FIVE SONGS in one night, including “Masada”, “The Swede with the Shivering Hair”, “Defense”, and…uh….Glen?
Pics, blogs, thoughts, musings, snigglets, Jaywalking, [...]
A statement was released at this very moment today to inform Debutante band members and fans that J. Brent Stewart (roughly one half of the Debs quartet) would indeed be at recording tonight, Thursday February 25th, the year our lord 2010.
“I’m not sick. There hasn’t been a blizzard. I don’t have a family birthday party [...]
Well, no less than the esteemed blog www.backseatsandbar.com has declared the Louisville debut of the Ravenna Colt a smashing success.
Read the glowing review here:

This, naturally, brings about questions: will Glen’s jealousy allow him to move forward with Centennial, or will he spend his recording sessions with Danny creating demonic portraits of himself and his nemesis/partner?
Why [...]
My brain is semi-paralyzed by the close proximity to my bedtime. So, we’ll be sticking to the bullet points until Glen has something amusing to say:
* I had a fever Tuesday.
* Therefore I didn’t have to do much in the studio.
* Which is just as well because Louisville’s own bass/vocal/multi-threat talent Kirk Whitehouse came by [...]
I’m not sure why this is called “Painfully Anal”. I have no doubt that I uttered this phrase, because it does sound like something I would say, and it is descriptive of my person.
So apparently I said it, and at some point someone said that it had to be the title of my blog post, [...]
This just about sums it up:
“Oh, Brent. I thought the Debutantes meant something to you. …. Well, I assumed we weren’t getting together tonight anyway. Today’s my mom’s birthday, so I can’t do it. Did I mention I don’t care about Centennial very much?
2010–Year of Glen.
2009–Was not kind.”
Happy New Year!
Since John McCain is no longer using his “Straight Talk Express”, I purchased the rights, pulled the cars out of the railway graveyard, gave it a spit shine, loaded up the boilers with coal (I hope that’s where the coal goes)(and I hope that stuff is coal), and pulled it out of the station to [...]
All five of our readers have hopefully noticed that fall2006 is now approaching a fever pitch of hot posting activity! How long can Andy and Glen keep this up? How long can two grown men tell lies to each other about their own band?
Why does it fall to me, arguably among the funniest people in [...]
Why isn’t “Centennial” finished yet?
There are two schools of thought on this matter.
The first would point to the labor intensive process of conceiving and executing such an ambitious project.
The second would point out the fact that rather than record on Tuesday, the band gathered at my house to watch U of L beat Arkansas in [...]
It’s been a while since we posted (are you surprised?) but in the meantime big, BIG things have been happening.
The biggest happening: November 3rd marked the official submission deadline for songs on “Centennial”! Yes, that’s correct: while the songs will continue to pour forth from the brains of Glen and myself like so much unrefined [...]
During recording on Tuesday, Andy Hurt took pics of his fuzzy mallets, and apparently he wants to share them with you.
If you want more, you’ll have to read the rest of this post…or just scroll down. You really don’t have to read at all.
After suffering a guest star drought of many weeks, we suddenly find [...]
The public love affair with Obama may be drawing to a close (stupid public), but what of Glen Reid?
Does he have the stones to show up on these pages and post the pictures of Andy’s tongue which we already know he has? Or do we vaguely remember him saying something about how he couldn’t receive [...]
It was agreed at recording last night that Glen would tell you everything you need to know today. But will he? And what does Glen think is information that you really “need”?
Will he tell you about “geographic tongue” and “cum mustard”? I know he has a picture of at least one of these things, and [...]
Aside from assuring Keddiz’ (Keddiz’s? Keddizsz?) future office, what have we been up to?
I’m sure we did something last week. I would sweat to it. I had meant to type “swear” there, but I typed sweat by accident, and have now decided to stick with that. That’s the way I do things around here. You [...]
Things are certainly afoot at Camp Debutante, though the blog has been relatively quiet.
Of course, as you already know, we will be taking part in the First Annual Mellwood Arts Festival this Saturday and Sunday at 12:30. Apparently we will be playing in a tent by the concessions and children’s crafts. So we should have [...]
I know many of you are asking “Brent, just what are you all doing over there? You’ve been working on this album for nearly five years!”
Of course, what I’d like to tell you is that 100 songs is, well, a lot of music. The process, from conception to demo to first pass in the studio [...]
What school did popular studio cat Squeaker attend?
A. Georgetown
B. Syracuse
C. Monmeowth
No pictures today, I’m afraid. I forgot the camera, but there wasn’t much to take pictures of that you haven’t already seen: the back of Danny’s head, Glen making faces, things being placed on the cat (the cat loves this, btw.)
The lion’s share of the [...]
