Funny out-of-context quote from Tuesday’s recording session goes here
I haven’t posted here in awhile. I am busy, just, like, in general. Also, I haven’t logged in here in a long time, and the page is all weird looking. Things are disappearing off of the sheet. I can’t even see the word I’m typing right now. I hope it looks like “this”, but it [...]

Debutantes Bluegrass Gospel Hoedown Experience
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 [...]

THAT’S A WRAP ON DRUMS!
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, [...]

Press Release: Brent Stewart to attend recording tonight
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 [...]

We have a Facebook thing…and a Twitter thing…and a record…
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 [...]

Painfully Anal with J. Brent Stewart
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, [...]

Business as usual
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!

The Straight Talk Express Redux pulls into Debs Station
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 [...]

The truth is not funny, or even particularly interesting.
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 [...]

“Have they made “Boats” yet? Can we do “Boats”?”
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 [...]

“Well, it IS “Joy to the World.”
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 [...]

Andy’s Fuzzy Mallets
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 [...]
