050226 Sent Charlie a mix of Carnivore.

Down a Long and Lonely River was on Saturday AM Toonz this morning along with a track by The Embarrassment!

050126 More drums and vocals on Carnivore. Trying a banjo this weekend.

Got The Dumbest Thing and The Modern Cat mixes back from Patrick. That empties the Telly Tavares bandolier and gives me 7 competed songs for the new album with 3 more in play.

043026 Getting Carnivore built back up today. Got a rough approximation of the mix rebuilt and improved some vocal and drumming performances. Tomorrow I'll work on dynamics and then go back to improving parts.

042926 Decided to import all of the Carnivore audio tracks into a fresh session. Will re-mix it tomorrow. Hoping to get this or Low Battery to Charles Paulter for drums in the next week to 10 days. Low Battery needs a new bridge.

042826 Discovered that the song start marker in Pro Tools was now appearing in the middle of a measure of Carnivore. Can't get it sorted. I need the click track to be there for Pat when mixing.

042726 Down a Long and Lonely River starting to show up on radio playlists.

042626 Settled on the 18th for a release date for Don Juan. This is the date that John sent me the initial session to build up.

042426 Down a Long and Lonely River out now. This was the first song completed for the Telly Tavares project. It features Chris Ruzich on bass and Daniel Button on guitar.

...and SoundCloud

041726 Working on Carnivore when I should be working on Low Battery and Ogress.

041626 Sent one last edit for Down a Long and Lonely River.

041526 Got the final Don Juan mixes back. Trying to tidy up Carnivore.

041426 Got a Long and Loney River mix from Patrick.

041326 Got the first mix of Don Juan back from Patrick.

"Is This Your Thing?" on this lovely playlist.

041026 Trying to finish Low Battery. This was going to be a Real Flower Pots song. Will do some chopping this weekend and work on a vocal melody for the B section.

040926 Gabriel and I are resuming work on Translator.

040226 Hoping to start releasing some solo material from last year soon. Probably going to just merge Telly Tavares stuff with Johnny Marie. The world isn't big enough for both of us. Still have 8-10 Lonesome Petunia songs in various stages of completion to.
