The paper proposal required thinking, and no thought was happening today. Today I’m a blank slate. An empty vessel.

My guess is…you didn’t finish either? But if you did finish one, it was applications!

If you can wait a little while, I will convert to lo-res mp3 files and forward onto you in the near future.

It’s in crazy crazy 7/8 time and would be a pretty radical departure from what we’ve been doing. Maybe for the next album.

I think your drumming is stellar. At least compared to your English usage.

Alls I had to do today was job applications and a conference proposal. Guess which I didn’t finish. No, don’t. Why would you care?

I’d like to hear the live FF tape, if you have it digital. I have a couple FF songs that Pentupboy sent me. I also have a tape hiss filter on one of my apps, but it also reduces the quality of the sound at the same time. You either put up with the hiss or put up with lower quality sound–a toss up, I suppose.

I busted my hinder recording that version of MTL!!

Recording with Jerry was very similar to certain other people with whom I have recorded in that he was…not completely satisfied…with the drumming and the sub-par drummer.

Any recording of MTL without my feedback-drenched solo is less than.

No. I am in agreement that, without Carm and Jerry it’s not worth the effort. I’m also not sure that I want to re-live that. We’re doing so well moving forward that I can’t imagine looking back right now.

I’m not sure if any of it worth “mastering”.
As a reference and a snapshot in time, it’s fine.

I also have the recorded Marion The Librarian multi-track recording Carm, Jerald and I did…did on a day Choppers was originally supposed to show up for but blew us off.

None of them are release-worthy, really – all of them have at least one thing very out of whack, whether it be some instrument not present, low vocals, poor performance, extra guy playing who sucks… always something making it no good. And the “Live From the Boathouse” tape, while a glorious souvenir for those who took part, is not high enough quality for anyone else to be interested. It does, however contain a pretty darn fiery performance, if you are willing to listen through the tape hiss, and DWDTG on that tape, is, IMHO, the definitive take.

@Metro: Really? You think we could do that song a) not live and together and b) without Gila, for whom that song was a showcase? I think not. Also, Jerry’s bass playing became an integral part of that evolved version, and I’m totally not up to that standard. I think that live recording is the one I’ll always cherish, and I’d rather let it rest. We torched the shit that night. Those people didn’t understand what they were witnessing.
