You knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

So, the plan is to record 15 songs. We’ve finished recording drums for 13 of them. The last two need a bit more “finishing up” than we thought, so we decided to move on to recording bass. In the meantime, we’ll work on the unrecorded songs on our own time instead of trying to figure things out in the studio. There’s plenty of work to do with the 13 song we have, so things will keep moving forward. Unfortunately for the studio journal that means we can’t quite call the drums completed yet.

If you’ve been watching the live stream, we commend you on your patience and willingness to endure less than stellar audio and video quality. We’re working on a new streaming method that should improve things a bit. During the last drum session I thought I had it set up right, but I heard from a bunch of people after the fact that it wasn’t working. Apologies for the non-functioning stream that night. The good news is that we just uploaded a full take of one of the songs we recorded last week. It was “filmed” with a better-than-webcam-quality camera so you can actually see (and hear) what’s going on.

And in his free time, Mike put together this video and set it free on the information superhighway. Surf on over and check it out. (Or just click play)

Awesome – reminds me of the good old days of VHS, West Coast Video, and Laserdisc players.

While we were recording drums, Jay set up some cameras and did some really cool time lapse videos of us.

We recently discovered that our friends over at Warner Music Group decided to remove the audio from some of our videos on YouTube. (Note: We replaced the audio with their handy AudioSwap feature. Enjoy the completely unrelated audio!)

People have been asking where they can find versions with the audio intact. The answer is obviously Sinch TV. But as one person pointed out, the videos for Plasma and Bitmap were never posted there. So, we fixed that glaring error and now all of our videos are available in their most useful format (with the correct audio).

This song is a black hole wrapped in an event horizon. That is all.

In addition to the live stream we had going on our first day in the studio, we had a bunch of video cameras set up, recording the action from every possible angle. Mike fired up the old electric video editing machine and put together this short clip:
