The title of this blog relates to us getting completely stumped at the very beginning of the day on what should be an easy song. It also relates to a deleted scene from the amazing film Some Kind Of Monster and we're all aspiring to make this album even better than Metallica's St. Anger (subject of the film if anyone hasn't seen it). There'll be more tough riffs no doubt, and maybe some even tougher tough riffs. Here's what we looked like when we were playing it:
Then drum bashing began again in earnest. I'd like to think that when you get to hear the snare on this album you'll be blown away by how well tuned in it is and recognise that that level of tunedness only comes from hours of ear bleeding boredom. I highly suspect this won't be the case so here's another paint classic from Tom to illustrate our plight.
Frustration and lethargy seemed to be the order of the day but, like a dog let off its lead, the water rose and the boat bobbed free of it's muddy shoes and we managed to pull 3 more songs out of the bag. Standing on the deck a little disappointed with today's progress, snow started to fall making the wharf seem more magical than it already is. I took that as a good sign for the following days, unless it stops us from being able to get to the studio. Then it's bad.
But on a happier, Christmas based note a demo version of one of our new tracks is up for free download on Joyzine's advent calendar over here: http://www.joyzine.org/index.html The song's called Christmas Lions too! Enjoy.
