It was a pretty productive day in the ghetto third floor studio, considering there were like at least six people in there and only two maybe three actually recording. But that's par for the course. I'm getting used to it but I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
Man, this record. (Shaking my head) I'm not even sure I even made a hip hop album this time. I really love different sounding songs but I may have crossed some invisible line. Some songs are kind of like pop punk or something, or synthy indie rock, others I have no idea how to categorize. On the other hand there are quite a few solid rap style songs and one that could even be a club hit (Although the content is complex human emotions instead of, say, liquor and pussy....not that there is anything wrong with that!) I 'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything but I think this is my best album ever and I just hope the next one will be too. And the one after that! Ad infinitum! :]
The studio smelled like a dead body for the fifth day in a row and I continued my ongoing and epic ribbing of Bill the downstairs guy with the epic and ongoing claim that the smell was actually the aroma of a decaying whore that he stuffed in the rafters. He rather creepily admitted that she was in the closet. I'm like "Ha Ha?" Hopefully it's just a squirrel or rat or some shit. Also Bill was pretty drunk which is annoying until a certain tipping point where it's just as funny as fuck.
Jim Dick came in and laid down the last of his vocals. He's really becoming a part of the Timm Tayshun sound both live and on record. We should be working on a new record by him really soon and I hope to be a big part of it. It's probably just going to be a collection of his solo songs but I'm not really sure! I love surprises, my fam!
Album's almost finished, one last day of recording, then mixing and mastering. Then off to the duplication plant. Unneeded plug, I use OasisCd.com and they are pretty dang awesome.
Working with Kyle from ex River Valley indie legends An A+ Setup on the artwork for the album. I'm really excited about what this collaboration could produce because I've always admired his designs. I'm pretty sure he designed a lot of A+'s shit.
Here is some video goodness.
