Deep into the post Christmas doldrums now, but the Appalled was busy in pre-NY Resolution mode, working towards the standing resolution to record more sh!t, or at least be in the same place at the same time! Several songs recorded despite the challenges of a constantly but unpredictably voiding sump pump adjacent to us, a Mario Galaxy Wii battle, steadily mounting room temp, and an amateurish mic placement resulting in a rather significant slap-back echo of guitar bleeding profusely into J's vocal mic. I actually think it turned out fairly cool.
A few that we have never put down before, including "Lighthouse" and the full "Mirage", "Shortcut", "CSL", and "Momentary Life". The newest one was also aired in unfinished splendour, a song that I referred to as "gbgbv" (I finished watching "Watch me Jumpstart", the excellent Banks Tarver doc on Guided by Voices - picked up the guitar and there it was so working titled it "guided by guided by voices"), but now am thinking of as "Phantom Limb", the idea of having something that's part of your being lost, but you still feel it's there. Sorry, no pics this session.
