i'm lazy. blogging is hard. here's some stuff.

so I spent most of July and August working with Tyler Castleton and Hilary Weeks on Hilary's latest album. There wasn't much to complain about so Im afraid it didnt add up to a great blog post. Very pleasant funny people, enough time to get good sounds, fix stuff that isnt working, try things. anyway, what's not to like there??
here is Hilary laying down some piano, apparantly she hasnt played piano on here albums in the past, but I had her play on one of the songs I arranged. she had such a great touch, it just sounded better than if anyone else had tried. she was hesitant at first, but did great and the track came out cool-

here tyler and hilary discuss how handsome i am, and how many pearl awards i should win this year -

tyler came up with this ingenious solution to the problem of too much music for the piano music stand -

more brainstorming regarding my upcoming pearl award take, also, most likely some discussion regarding how great everything sounds as well as how attractive my socks are -

tyler, rob honey and mike dowdle -

todd sorensen wonders why mike greene can never get his drums to sounds so good! (cmon mike, that was clearly a joke) -

rich dixon -

last week i worked with mark owens and The Indio Bait. we recorded some drums while mark laid down some scratch guitars -

although i have no readers, i must mention:

a few weeks ago, some very good friends were in an airplane crash. they have survived, but are in critical condition with severe burns. please look here for updates and information, and please, if you feel inclined, donate to help.
