Hey there,
Last night I put together a little video documenting the band's studio session. We had a great time being in RCA B, and much thanks goes to our friend Brian Staverovsky for asking us to record there for his Audio I class project.

Here's the vid:

Well I'm starting the day right -- cocoa puffs with milk and a bit of coffee while jamming the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Soundtrack. I'll only write short bit right now because I have class at 10 that I need to get showered and ready for.

The Relient K concert on Sunday night was really a great time. Preston, Tanner, Luke, and I enjoyed a great set by Mae, followed by another excellent show by the K boys. The "campfire" acoustic segment was really creative, and they played a good selection of songs, though I would have enjoyed an even longer set with more songs off of their 2nd and 3rd CD's. Preston and I helped to start a surprisingly intense and fun pit, too, so that was great. I haven't gotten to pit-dance/mosh in quite a while. Gotta go home injured.

Yesterday was the recording session at RCA B. It was a great experience, but i'll write about it later. i have some video/pictures to add too. For now, though, I need to get ready to start my longest day of the week -- 6 classes going from 10 to 6. Ugh.

Happy Tuesday!
-Rob.

First Post

Last night I was checking out (musical artist) Imogen Heap's blog, which documents the development of her upcoming 3rd album. She updates it daily with information on how the songs are coming along as well as anything else of interest that's currently going on.

I decided that I'd do the same. I'm in the process of recording my album Fender Bender at my home studio in Brentwood, and I'd like to document the continuing process, starting now. It's been a long time coming -- several of these songs were first drafted towards the end of my junior year of high school, and I'm now approaching the end of my freshman year at Belmont.

Thankfully, the time it's taken be to be ready for this album has allowed me to develop each song, write new ones, painfully deliberate over the tracklisting, and (hopefully) have the outline for this project.

I'll be blogging about how, when, where, with whom, and why I'm creating this album, and as a part of that process I'll probably include some seemeingly unrelated personal tidbits. Just weed out what you can.

Today I should have a bit of time to do some mixing and a bit of tracking before having to get my things together and head off to the Relient K show and then my dorm. I'll let you know about it tomorrow. Right now, it's time to go.

-Rob.
