1:47am - Jan 31

4pm, Friday
We moved into Sapient Sound. We set up and sound check. I went through 4 different bass amps until finally going direct and deciding to re amp it later. Starting off, I played my music man, but ended up using a vintage Rickenbacker I borrowed for the weekend. I love the way it sounds, melodic, but with a slight edge and kick to it.

We laid down basic tracks for Take It Slow, Rise Up, Let The People Know and Cute Girls in Combat Boots. Cute Girls will probably need to be redone tomorrow. I really enjoy recording and I haven't done a full length album since high school. The stuff I did in high school isn't really worth listening to now.

The studio is ours to use for this weekend and this weekend only. It costs a lot to make and album, so we are tracking most of it in three days. A lot of time was spend in pre-production for this album. We have been more than ready to do this for awhile.
