With Centennial finished…
…and with only mastering & production left, where does that leave Les Debutantes? Here is a status report:
me: I’m deeply dissatisfied. Not so much with the final product, but with the railroading. All the best songs were left off. More later.
glen: He’s sober about the entire project. Centennial, [...]

Pulling Black Spag From His Bag: Mixing finishes with a capital “Z”!
The naysayers will not have their day. The “Cul de Sac of Creativity” will be denied no longer. The dream is made real.
It’s true, final mixing on “Centennial” is complete. This was “Tweak Week”, which was our final chance to make any changes, and we went out on a high note. I tracked fuzz bass [...]

When Steeve Winnwood stands in Traffic, it’s dangerous
Some points to cover:
*Glen is no longer allowed to stand up when he keys. Some suggest that no standing keyboard player can overcome the foolishness of it. Stay tuned!
*Now look! Brent didn’t sign on to this to clap hands. And furthermore…
*”Today, I told a kid to shut up.” Brent said [...]

Hurtful Words with Andy Hurt (“That’s What She Said So That’s What Andy Hurt Typed” Edition
Can’t wait to start dissecting this thing and get it all wrapped up. As you expected, I have many issues with these results. It gets taken out so everything else gets bumped up a place. Where are the results? Was there an attachment? Glen will have plenty of anger to share, I’m sure. That might [...]

Hurtful Words with Andy Hurt
A Quick One:
Tonight is the last night for the recording of Centennial, an album that was not started in the century that will see it’s completion.
Although I will miss the making of this one, you can rest assured that there will be a next one and it will be shorter in length and execution.
We’ll see [...]

Hurtful Words with Andy Hurt
Recording was interrupted on Tuesday when Brent, the movie lover/doll baby collector of the bunch, brought in what is believed to be the greatest movie ever made about the greatest story ever told about the greatest life ever lived. The movie was made, and immediately shelved for reasons known to those who dwell in the [...]

regarding tuesday, 05/18/10….from the thick, wooded glen
How do you feel about it?
–Dr. Feel Speculum as he walked out of the room
Who did drums on this?
–words spoken incredulously by Hurtful Words Hurt
What about my songs?
–Keddiz
This song will get nothing but 1’s, but you have veto power.

I Hesitate to Call That Funky: The Ending To “Mind Paper” Story
Time is growing shorter than green tortoise garter. Some fight and flounder, but one cannot barter. And in the face of this, Centennial continues to record itself with the able arms of debutantes. On 10/10/10, these ‘tantes will be men.
Tonight, Glen will take part in a two-day march to cramville. [...]

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 [...]

Amidst his fagazines, he asks to instead be your dreampitcher
Believe in yourself or go home.
–The Ass of Bass, 05/04/10
“Dude, can we go on first?”
–Everyone, circa Always
Do you feel like you’re always being asked to go on unexpectedly later? The following is an angry missive that I direct to virtually everyone besides myself:
Going On Later: An Angry Statement
I’m not asking you to care, but I’ve [...]

You’re starting to get turd on the polishing cloth
And the shammwwow is only so wide.
Afternoon, freres. It’s your ol’ pal, Oldie McKeddiz here with a Centennial update. We have over 110 songs that are DONE done. And it looks like we have less than twenty unfinished songs left that we plan to try to address before June. Most of [...]

Hurtful Words with Andy Hurt
Well, it happened.
I heard a song in contention for inclusion on Centennial and I didn’t remember playing on it. That tells me that I have given too much to the cause. I have upended my life to see this come to life. I have killed, metaphorically, in order that Centennial shall live, metaphorically for a [...]

fictitious, (seemingly) negative review of Centennial (but with Debutante redemption at the end!)
REVIEW from 10/10/10
Centennial
by Les Debutantes
reviewed by your faithful, slam-diggedy, uber-reviewer…..Gergen Goggles
If you’re like me, you’re oh so fed up with the posturing of a lot of today’s musicians. I’m tote tired of the conformists and the sellers out. As an aficionado, I’d say that CERTAINLY the album is a dying medium. Believe me, I know. [...]
