CUSH

A quick update, CUSH has begun rehearsing songs for the new record or records. It has been going well. In addition, we are continually writing and demoing new jams. We worked on a song titled, "The Joke is On Us." It went well. It took us a few hours to figure out the direction, but i believe in the end it was well worth the work. We except to begin recording in the next week or two, God willing.

Thanks for you patience.

While the Doc and Snowman are busy surfing for internet porn... I have been working on some new songs. The Doc flowed over some new beats for me to work on and let me tell you how exciting it is to work on bass line over a loop and a tambourine...



Never the less, I got three more ideas that hopefully will inspire greatness from the rest of the peeps.

Andrew should be done mixing and working on other projects this week... which finally means moving forward for CUSH and wrapping up The Lassie Foundation.

Thanks for all your patience.

Question: Who will win Project Runway this year? I can't tell you how disappointed I was with Chris getting bumped off this week. I saw his Bryant Park show and it was amazing, much better than Rami's. I hate to say it, but i believe that Christian will win it. He seems very one dimensional but his designs seem to captivate the judges. Here's to the puffy shirt.

currently listening:
jenny ondioline-stereolab
april skies-jamc
pale shelter-tears for fears
zoo pie-gbv
alice's house-psychedelic furs

CUSH

Yes, it has been a while... At this moment CUSH has trimmed the jams to about twelve ideas, some more or less fleshed out while others have no flesh, just their skin and bones. For Andrew, Snowman, and I it is apparent that we need to write or jam out at least another five to ten ideas. This will start tomorrow.

Also of note, we are trying to wrap up the Lassie jams. They sound amazingly thick, does that sound dirty? Wayne has finished up all of his lead vocals, we need to do some bgv's and overdubs and then we should be ready mix. In a nutshell, the Lassie jam 1 sounds like a mix of "Promise Ring" meets Stereolab. And Lassie jam 2 sounds like a mix of "I Can Be Her Man and Bomber's Moon".

CUSH

I like being redundant and... well, the holiday's have still hit us like a ton of bricks. Not a whole lot has happened since the last post. Some of us have been working on new songs for The Lassie Foundation and finishing up mastering for They Sang as They Slew; but no new CUSH. Hopefully, after Andrew gets back from vacation on the pacific rim we will be able to continue to working on the new CUSH record.

We hope all of you have had a great holiday.
