guitar tones, dust & bones...

today is Thom's birthday! we'll celebrate tonight after we get out of the studio, most likely by hitting "the joint" and hanging with some of the real deal/old school musicians we met a couple of weeks ago.
amazingly enough Ty has found his guitar tones (without his framus amp...thank God)
I'm playing through an old Fender Bassman head plugged into a 2X12 cab, using 3 main guitars...gibson 335, gibson sg (with pete townsend's signature on the back of the headstock) and a fender jazzmaster.
tyler's using his fender tele, and a jazzmaster so far...playing through a matchless combo, hiwatt and a vox ac30.
the bad news is, our engineer just told us that one of the other producers is stopping by to pick up the xbox360...no more test drive! :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!

dead sara

our new favorite band:
DEAD SARA

we broke a cardinal rule today, kentucky fried chicken to nurse a hangover...not exactly the best idea. Also, tequila and jack daniels...do not mix well.
our maids at the hotel are the nicest ladies, but i'm pretty sure that they try and sneak a peak of us getting dressed every day b/c they walk on in without knocking almost every day. well, its either that or they're not used to people sleeping until 1pm.
"any body want this last piece of chicken?"
TODAY IS BOO BOO'S BIRTHDAY, our kid is growing up and we're so proud of him!

snowing at home, 90 degrees in LA

we've certainly been enjoying the weather out here in beautiful Los Angeles...in between takes during our daily sessions. Yesterday it was 100 degrees and felt amazing! Drums for the record are DONE!
we're recording in the DEATH STAR in Korea Town, and there's this little market next door that we go to for snacks and drinks and such...we've found some pretty weird things and have been a bit adventurous with our purchases. But the funniest thing we've found so far are these gummy candies...the blurb on the packaging describing the flavor is unbelievable.
On the outside of the package reads: "Its translucent color so alluring and taste and aroma so gentle and mellow offer admiring feelings of a graceful lady."I've had my share of women, but I must admit the admiring feelings of a graceful lady have never tasted sweeter!
So look them up...you'll be hooked instantly!

Also we're all very much hooked on the xbox360 game "Test Drive Unlimited" and Tyler just lost $30,000...the idiot
much love.

its only 7?

thomas finished drums today...now all he has to do is lounge...must be nice! Seriously though he killed it today.
.:w:.

...okay, so our drummer Thomas has never ridden a bicycle! I know...I think he may be a communist too...

cheers,
