What is Glen Reid afraid of?
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 [...]

What will Glen tell you?
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 [...]

A Spanish Gourmand
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 [...]

Our Future and 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 [...]

One banana short of a fruit hat
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 [...]

Patrick Chewing?
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 [...]

Where does the magic happen, Mr. Brent?
I can’t count the number of times that I haven’t been asked “Just how do you do the thing that you do?” The deafening silence can be broken only by this unwarranted exploration of my demo process.
Now, this is just a delving into the work methods of myself, J. Brent Stewart. I cannot begin to [...]

Our producer, Feel Speculum
Because “Phil Spectrum” just wasn’t creepy enough.
Even though I had to poop, tonight still turned out to be a productive evening.
Glen brought upon his a whistle a demo of the infamous “Greasy Lethal Weapon” (a song which manages to tie together Don Knotts, Krispy Kremes, the David Camm murders, and Al Qaeda) and a new [...]

What did Glen call Kenny?
Tonight saw a true return to form. Lots of stuff accomplished:
Final importing on “Conniption Gun” (the original Kevin version, now preserved for history, despite the fact that “Tell Your Man” has replaced it for all time, regardless of what Cathy would have you believe),
Glen brought a demo of the new take on “Yes in your [...]

You can’t stomp the clap
Last night wasn’t as productive as it perhaps should have been, but can be said? I had to poop, so I was there late. Andy wanted to clap, but his clapping just illustrated the point that the song really just needed to be redone, from scratch.
Songs were re-imported to our final folder, the spreadsheet was [...]

What we do when we’re not saving pop music.
As no one requested, some pics from our most recent b-ball outing. Come play with us…at…the tiny park…at the end of Wentzel…every Monday at 7:00pm. There will be photo and autograph opportunities following the game. Get your giant foam finger signed by Air Bud!
Glen is known as “Ol’ Asshole” on the court, but the reasons [...]

Centennial Rosetta Stone Discovered
This week at Su Su Studios, enterprising Feline Archaeologist Squeaker unearthed the original “Dry Erase Boards of Destiny”, which were actually just fluorescent posterboard, which you couldn’t dry erase if you tried with all of your might.
The original “In Progress” List
The Original “Finished” List (hahaha…”finished”. That is rich.)
*Note the origins of the “Trixie’s Pot Stickers” [...]

Jive Bunny and the Masters Mixers
On Tuesday we had Glen carry his Kurzweil over and place it on the bed so he could then try to play “Game of the criss cross” (Not to be confused with bestselling Colecovision game “Sailing with Chris Cross”.) This, of course, was a funny joke, as we all knew that Glen no longer remembered [...]

C.H.I.P.s Corea
It has taken me a while to get over the stirring (though exceedingly premature) epitaph that Keddiz has written below, but we did work last night, and I may as well tell you about it.
I brought a lot of instruments, but used none of them. Right now my Elvis Costello Signature Fender Jazzmaster is [...]

Here’s What Glen Wanted to Show You
