So much bass! Last night! My ears! Brent’s good at it, but why did he take so long to do it?! So much dedication to one night! So much indifference to the last five years! …I enjoyed watching him enjoy playing Glen’s songs.
Good morning. The Keddiz explosion continues to jostle jugglers & rustle the rabble. [...]
More highlights from last night:
–Danny feels it’s difficult to know what “needs” to list next to Glen’s songs on the Stat Sheet. So he’s decided to just put “marimba and space noise” next to everything.
–Brent fainted when he found the word “ADOLF” on his thumb drive (which is filled with mean-spirited, Brian Kelly-mastered, non-deletable songs). [...]
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 [...]
Back in 1737, when tracking began on Centennial, the world was a much different place. Dragons roamed the land and were hunted not for their “fire sacs” or “golden tufts”, but for their meat. As my grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather (the first recording engineer to work on Centennial) lay upon his deathbed, 28 years after work [...]
Andy Hurt is useless now. Drumming has concluded on Centennial. May he use this lull in his life to prepare for Centennial 2: The Listen-To-The-Songs-Ahead-of-Time Sessions.
He finished these five songs on the final day, Brent: ”Masada,” “The Swede with the Shivering Hair,” “Defense,” “Super Fancy Baby,” & “Sam & Dave & Slayer”
Also, Andy Hurt will [...]
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, [...]
The Fall 2006 classic “Centennial” is winding down in terms of official parts being added to its conglomerate, hidden treasure self. Tonight will see the return of…I can’t recall his n….you know, the guy with the head. He’d been suffering from Immune Dissolution Thrombosis, but that has temporarily subsided.
Let me take a moment to tell [...]
Blogging is difficult for those who do not care about being heard, but who don’t want to be forgotten. It is with this spirit that I begin another smokescreen in the hopes that you hold off on giving up on Les Debutantes. Let’s summarize the nature of this band:
Les Debutantes are a loose collection of [...]
Les Debutantes will be recording tonight….but not at Su-Su-Studios. They’ll be at Su-Su-St-Adios, which is located somewhere east of Keddiz’ raised middle finger. J. Brent Stewart of the Ravenna Colt–a band that gets their name from both an anagram, “Carve Your Soul, Buzzard!” and their motto: Reach And View Each New Night As Christmas Omens [...]
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 [...]
Since we’re writing about other bands we play with I’d like to inform you of a couple of my upcoming “projects.” First up is Thailand, friends and former band mates of mine who live in Los Angeles (www.myspace.com/welcometothailand). I’ll be playing drums on about half of their upcoming sound offering. The other one is my [...]
You should have seen him…J. Brent Stewart, current bassist for the Ravenna J. Colt and former member of Les Debutantes. I was there, right in the front row, staring him down like an animal. I was an animal last night! Brent played the bass with BOTH HANDS and managed to thump the crowd into the [...]
You ever get the sense that Brent cares more about things he has to do that he won’t tell us about, than the things he must do that we all know EVERYTHING about? I’m getting that sense now. Let’s do a quick profile of The Ass of Bass:
sex: male
age: 24
status: engaged
height: 5′8″
race: black
blood type: C-

Here’s the video of the drumming. Notice the simplicity, and the toothpick in my mouth. I almost always have a toothpick in my mouth. If I don’t I’m usually wondering where my toothpicks are. Also, I had taken a Vicodin a couple hours before. That just seemed important for you to know.
Les Debs Record Something

I never recommend anything to anyone. So understand the significance when I say that I HIGHLY recommend the design work of Danny Cash. Whether you’re looking for ads, brochures, CDs, displays, environmental designs, and so on….you can expect innovative, professional, effective graphic design from his office.
Take a look at his website, which hints at the [...]
Even though the family car was destroyed on Tuesday, I still made it to recording on Wednesday. By the light of DCC’s lava lamp, as it lightly heated the skin of Trixie’s Pot Stickers, I found myself singing endlessly, sans results to find pride in.
An Expert on Barriers has been in the works for about [...]
