Seems like we’ve both been keeping our noses to the grindstone for far too long, unable to find the time and energy to work on music. My new podcast is taking up so much precious time, sometimes I wonder if it was really the best thing for me to get involved with. Then SL tries to steal even more time away… Ryan has been really busy with his work. Ever since the .coms made their comeback, his skills have been in demand again. But today we both made some time to get back to tracking vocals for “Caught in the Groove.” The scratch track we had been working with was recorded too muddy to actually keep, and the vocals we recorded right after our Pheonix show sounded too tired. Today we captured a really great, fresh, well recorded vocal. It’s nice to have so much experience singing a song before recording it, actually. We’ve been doing it in our live show, so I’m really familiar with it. Anyway, I think we’re pretty much done with the song now. Just need to make a good, solid final mix. Then we can take a critical listen to the scratch vocal track on the new blues song and go from there. That one was my favorite song to perform, so I look forward to working on it a lot! Still not sure what the title will be; I was calling it “Falling Asleep,” but Ryan suggested changing it to “Once in a Blue Moon,” which I think was the original title in my journal.
