IN THE STUDIO

About Me

These new songs are a collection of sonic polaroids, songs written on the run in attempts to recapture the fading dreams of people, friends, and enemies I've known since living here... Songs about the anonymous many who keep the big city alive and breathing in front of, and behind its glamorous facade. Here is some of my Chicago sketchbook-------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Recording around hissing radiators, traffic noise and drunken conversation coming from the street below the windows.. it's not so bad, I quite like it really.---- What we really love about this odd little SPACESUIT PARADE studio is that it's cheap and close by, and if the sessions go late, there's always a bar open...somewhere.---- This is the 'jewel in the trashcan' material that I luv the best. ------------------------------I will be shuffling new tunes in and out of here on a regular basis so check back periodically. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------- The songs featured here were recorded at ELABS and SPACESUIT PARADE, Chicago.---------------------------- EP hopefully dropping summer/fall 2008. ---Produced by the fearless Jak Letourneau! .. and tommy ford ------------------------------------------------------------ -------ps-- Keep an eye out for my band, **'the DAZZLING NO-ONES!'** out in 2009..
