“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 golden genius drops, they will fall on silent ears…or will be preserved for “Bicentennial”.  THe point is: no more songs for “Centennial”.

We have officially over 160 songs that are in some stage of completion, with 98 that are completely recorded and mixed and finished like so much chocalate insanity cake.

That’s a lot of songs.

Let the record book reflect, the two final songs submitted for consideration: Glen’s “An Expert On Barriers” and Brent’s “I Only Ever See You in my Dreams”.

So, there you have it. Andy and Jason have been tracking drums at a furious clip, so that means that at last we have plenty of stuff we can track. The official cutoff for guest stars is Dec 31st.  So this is the last call: if you want to play on “Centennial”, let us know NOW, because if we haven’t seen you by 2010, we’re doing it ourselves.

Speaking of drums, did you know that some people screw wrenches onto the cymbals in order to make you think that your ears are taking drugs? It’s true. Observe:

Kinda looks like a clock.

And still more!

I believe these pics were all taken the night that Andy tracked “Xenium”, among other things.  Although I may be wrong about that.

Post Halloween recording pics:

Danny is proud of his ones and zeroes.

Andy takes a pic of Brent in his Wolverine mask, so that he can turn it into a talking picture that says something very unpleasant involving the word “balls.”

I don’t know why Glen sent me this picture.

This week saw Glen and Brent illin’ on Tuesday.  Glen had the remains of Swine Flu, while Brent gamely arrived at the studio prepared to work, but after 20 minutes of listening to simulated cork popping wmv files, nearly vomited and was sent home.

Thursday saw the Debs returned to their typically not very healthy yet still up and walking about state, and work was begun in earnest on their COMPLETE dominance of the advertising industry.

Indeed, after years of complaining that their true genius was being denied, Danny finally opened up the curtain to our collective future: advertising!

Our adventure begins with the recording of a Christmas jingle for the holiday card of a major corporation, which may or may not produce beverages of an adult nature.

Of course, we’re certain that they won’t be using the song, but in the meantime please enjoy the idea of Brent playing this coctail shaker, filled with ice, as though it were an instrument.

Southern Comfort, indeed.

So, there you have it. “Centennial” will assure their “cred”, just in time for the boys to launch Sky Money Magic House Advertising.  Hire us to pimp your wares.  Have you HEARD “Mammy’s Kitchen”???

If not, I suggest you check out the new section on the toolbar above, “D’s”.

Glen was kind enough to consolidate the addresses of all of the random locations that our demos can be found onto one convenient page. Check out this section, and soon perhaps these addresses will be converted to links, or perhaps even songs you can listen to ON OUR PAGE. We have the technology! We think!

Ok, now I leave.
