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 to recutting to mixing to final mix, can take anywhere from days to weeks, even months or years.  And that’s per song! So multiply that by 150 or so in-progress tracks, and you SHOULD have an idea of why it’s taking so long.

Glen is nervous to be in the same room as UP gear.

Valuable Ultra Pulverize items.

Synth Tech and Microphone Tech get into an argument about the placement of DI’s in the room.
