I’ve been working my ass off on this website, and it is just about done! Now I will finally have more time to focus on the music and the videos! I’ve been sweating like a child at a shoe factory in Asia, but Chris has been doing the real work; writing some new songs! He’s got a few great concepts which I cannot share the details of just yet, all I can say is they really tickle my fancy. Maybe I’ll post little video/audio snippets to get you all worked up (sexually) … Keep your eyes peeled!

Today we went to the local music store (the one better than Guitar Center) and picked up a Shure SM-57 dynamic microphone. The plan is to use it to record guitars, the snare drum, and vocals (till we have enough money to afford a nice condenser mic). We went with the Shure because it’s basically an industry standard mic… and it was cheap.

We also picked up a new head for Mike’s snare. He went with an Evans genra dry. It has a built-in baffle ring on the inside, as well as some holes in the head that are supposed to help lower overtones. So far, he’s pleased with it; it has a nice crisp attack, and very short overtones; just what he was looking for.

On a side note, there is no concrete evidence proving that we may or may not have bought a case of beer at the huge liquor store next door…
