winterizing

rae told me its cold where she lives.
im going to visit her this weekend! cant wait!
but i remember dealing with the cold...

..and considering it looks like this here now, flowers in bloom...


...i needed to winterize.

gretsch

it should be noted that in the recordings below i am playing my beloved gretsch.

what a great guitar!

wow, tone.

select listenings from last nights jam

just listen to these.
if you are interested, check out the previous post.

IT STARTS

recorded literally from when we first started playing.
its awesome how nothing becomes something rad.
best from 15:30 to the end of the recording

SEAS
i love how this recording starts full force.
1:45 - 6:30 is pretty slow, but nice.
at the 7:00 minute mark a new monster is born.

the full range of sonic spectrum

i recorded us as we played music tonight.
it was the first time the five of us played music together.

i decided to call our band 'the full range of sonic spectrum'
i havent told anyone else in the band yet, though.

well i just needed a name for the files/directories.

this is all super raw.
i just recorded strait through for several hours.
its so awesome that it starts with a HOWL.

most of it is rough, painful even.
but there are a few gems.

i havent even really listened to this .
we just jammed tonite.
its several hours worth.
i just wanted us to be able to listen.
_________________________________________________________
i am putting them up in the order as recorded.
an asterik* means 'worth a listen'
