We've finished tracking, and now The Doc will do his magic on the tracks to make it sound like we're a real tight band. By the end of next week we should be ready to mix.
Happy Tsugawa-Banta did her thing on the vibraphone, and those parts sound AMAZING. Big ups also to Richard Swift Onasis for laying down some great keyboard parts. The band, along with Andy, put some other keys/pads/strings on there, as well.
It's weird how this record has transformed from beginning to end. Of course, the Final Battle of mixing it will be the ultimate challenge: Where do the keyboards sit in the mix? How loud does that electronic slap need to be? Is the gang vocal too Cars-ish? What would Paul Reynolds think of that guitar solo? (he was the guitarist for A Flock of Seagulls, if you're playing at home)
Decisions, decisions....
