Some in-studio pics

Hey all! Hope everyone is good. Quick update on the happenings here in MCR land.

We’re almost done tracking the record, and then moving on to mixing. This process has been really different and enlightening. When we went to Tokyo for the Summersonic shows, we came back recharged and remotivated, wanting to better what we had done before we left. What resulted was us writing some of our best songs on the record. Lesson learned? Sometimes you have to step back to get to the real heart of things…

Photo-shoot today, and damn’t none of my old clothes fit! Either time to go shopping, or time to hit a gym. Neither are choices I like…

Mine and Christa’s dog Bauer, who I posted a picture of a few weeks ago, has been diagnosed with CRF – chronic renal failure – which is insane for a dog his age. He’s three, and very sick. Unfortunately, its something that you wouldn’t pick up on until its too late. We decided to bring him back home to Jersey where he can run in the grass and play, and luckily that seems to be making him feel better. The doctors out here are surprised at how well he looks considering the severity of his condition. He’s a tough little guy.

Putting some pictures up from in studio. Enjoy!

Mauna Kea = Paradise!

So after two amazing shows in Japan, and a few weeks off, we’re back at the practice space tightening up a few songs before we head back in the studio to finish up the record.

Getting a little bit of time off was good. Spent a week on Big Island. What a beautiful place. Paradise on Earth! Miss it already. Mauna Kea, thanks for letting me and my wife look at the stars…

Tale of the tape…

Each time we call up a new song, the engineers at the studio put this tape on the board so they can sort out all the tracks. Thought it’d make a good picture…
