Just finished the vocals for "Alphabet".I am completely drained.I could have never imagined I could have got so tired by playing and singing music.Woke up at 9 this morning and enjoyed a couple of delicious coffees pissed into my cup by this machine called Barista, provided by Star*ucks.I could have never imagined Star*ucks could make ANYTHING worth talking about in positive terms.I have learned 2 things today, as you can see.
Past the 2nd coffee I made my way to Studio A and started warming up my voice by means of ludicrous and distressful vocal excercises, accompanying myself on the piano.I had to resist the temptation to hum Elton John's songs at Steve Albini's beloved studio. I was tempted.Very tempted."It's a little bit funny".
Then it was time to sing.Bashed down "X-rays confidential" and did "All about Vikki" again.First time around wasnt good enough.Then attempted to re-do "popsong" but my voice rebelled and decided it was time for a break.Bring on the piano on "X-rays" and the keyboard bits on "Channels" and "Alphabet".Then some more sharp steel on "X-rays".That was added via one of Steve's Travis Beans.The black one.It was cold and hard, and heavy, and slender.
It turned me on, very much.I mean it.
Done that, it was dark outside and time for dinner inside.Antonio made some totally rad (erm) spaghetti with eggplants( ARRRGH), a taste of that and then down to the studio again to do more vocals.Did "Her Birthday", "Sailplanes" ( a little new song about some guy who didnt deserve a song but the song begged to exist), "uh (uh) uh uh ( candy panic attack)" and "Alphabet".Je suis plastered.Je suis knackered.Excuse my French, I am going to bed.
Good night friends enemies lovers and creditors.
