Friday we did a marathon session at Dan's to record a new tune. Slow going for the first couple of hours, but once we broke for lunch we got our bearings and were able to churn out something pretty special. We're going back in tomorrow to add a few finishing touches, maybe some drums, but we got a lot done on Friday. Was even able to add a slide guitar part to it, which I've been dying to do since we recorded Wouldn't It Be Sweet years ago (bafflingly enough, WIBS is still the song on iTunes that has sold the most for us). It was hotter than hell, though. No AC, and we had to keep the fans off while recording. We were soaked. After a while, the isolation booth reminded me more of a solar oven.

(You're probably wondering what we're doing with all this recording. So are we.)

Patriot Place on Saturday was supremely hot, but I enjoyed doing an outdoor thing. Like I've said before, we don't get very many legitimate excuses to wear sunglasses on stage. Have also been fortunate enough to be meeting so many awesome people. Robyn, who asked us to play, was great and had an excellent knowledge of local music. We were treated very, very well. Funny enough, the way the place is set up, the music bounces off a building in the mall and directly hits some woman's house miles away. We had to turn the amps around to diffuse the sound and not bother this poor woman.

Am simultaneously frightened by and looking forward to One Night Band this Saturday. Should be fun and/or horrible.
