Is It Awesome?

this week saw the beginning of recording the new Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband album. we are currently camped out in the new June Audio studio A, where we will be for another few days before moving into Junior Audio (a.k.a. June Audio studio B).

as you can see, the motto for this album is "Is It Awesome?" which is supposed to mean that we make sure everything that is recorded is awesome, but mostly it just means that we say the word awesome way too much.

and as often happens when a large group of guys hang out for too long in room with no windows for hours and days at a time, things get ridiculous and moronic.

day 1 - wednesday went great, we got set up and managed to get drums bass and guitar for 2 songs. day 2 - thursday was even better as we got 3 songs down. things slowed down a bit on day 3 however, and we got a bit bogged down. tension, boredom, etc etc. it was the general consensus that the ryan tilby was the most frustrated. but whether he was or not, the constant ribbing he took paid off for the rest of us when we were greeted the following morning with a fine selection of the donuts from a quaint local bakery known as albertson's supermarket.

needless to say, fueled by sugar, sprinkles and chipotle, day 4 progressed nicely.
