so... the summer came and went. and i still have not done the big may thru august update. but i will. since my birthday i've been busy at work, which was not the case this summer when we had 547 law clerks. i haven't seen a lot of live bands lately as i've been finishing some projects.
september was a fairly busy month... in addition to the chicago trip, i played a show with the spots and wiseblood... at the german club (see pics below) as well as a private show with the spots. the only photos from that are from when we were heading back to bham from jemison and we took some weird photos on the side of the road. and i jumped off of a huge mound of gravel and got a hyperextension knee injury. not too bad though.
last week the spots got together again in the studio and recorded a few hours of experimental music - some of which - might make it onto our little ep.
also, i finally sat down and listened to the record, "help my unbelief" that was produced by the other guys in the spots. i played bass on one track. nice packaging.
i spent the weekend before last finishing up the wiseblood record and we sent it off to be mastered. we will get it back pretty soon i hope. i think we might drop one song because it is old and the production is a little TOO indie.
but at least its in the bag.
last week we took photos of ashby's hand holding a bottle of healing oil. our friend morgan wrote the entire last chapter of the bible on ashby's hand. very very cool and unique image. almost iconic. i've looked at the digital photos and they are fairly good and i'll get the other photos this week. i was a little sick this weekend by the way. didn't really go out. watched some movies with some friends.. one of which was a low budget horror film from 1970 that was filmed entirely in st. augustine / flagler college. i recognized the white lion pub. very interesting. i might post more info on the film if i find any.
what else...
last night i got a new couch and a 4 piece retro grey/metal looking set of office furniture. its pretty flash.
TONIGHT...
once again i have an exercise in humility. playing drums for duquette johnston and some guys from through the sparks. i haven't played drums since duquette's cd release show at bottletree at the end of august. whatev'. i'm not afraid to fail.
tomorrow night i'm going to see jazz pop brit crooner icon - jaimie cullum (sp?) at the alabama theatre with ashby and his dad. should be fun. then thursday i have a show at cave 9 with duquette. it will be my first show at cave 9.
also... we had a preview party for the wiseblood record at an art exhibit for the guy who is providing artwork for our album... chris lawson... he sold A LOT of art and there was a great turn out for the event. i was pleased that a fairly unique event like this (part cd listening party, part networking party, part art exhibit) was so well received.
