9th Recording Session - 21 February 2008, Thursday, 6.00pm – 9.00pm

The 8th recording session is one which shall be remembered for the missing bassmen. The first bassman, Syai, was not around cos he was trying to find ways to get S.P.O.N.G.E a sponsorship deal from Gibson Guitars. The second Bassman (probably the more important one), was the missing Fender Bassman, which we wanted to record the clean parts for Today.

Oh well. Like all women would say... Men. Always go missing at the critical times. Err... argh W.T.F. lah. Ok. Song list and instruments recorded.

Songs – Today
Instruments Recorded – Guitar (Kenneth), Vocals (Rahmat and Fiq)

Recording Session
Rahmat and Fiq had arrived early together to start on the vocals for today. When I arrived, Fiq was finishing his backup Today. They both sounded good. Oh well.. Fiq had bowling so off he went off when I arrived after work. Nick was sick though. He was dripping mucus all over the place and desparately grabbing tissues. Me? I was probably too happy when he was suffering while recording my clean guitar parts for Today. Look at me!

What was pretty disappointing was the lack of the Fender Bassman for the sparkly tone we wanted. Also, though I am seen playing a black Gibson here, we ended up using the recording which was done with my Gretsch Syncromatic (its in the background) for the clean chorus riff, which was the bulk of what was done that evening. After that, we wrapped up the recording for the night with the picking in the interlude. Nick was really too sick to do anymore, and we decided it was a wrap at 9pm.

Well... Rahmat and I headed to Geylang for daohui (known as Soya Beancurd to non-locals)... err... the right kind of course. Not the other "daohui" in Geylang... err... ok. Whatever.

End

Nothing much to say here. But hey! I feel really happy watching Juno. Have the soundtrack.. haven't really explored it yet thought, but the song at the end of the movie is simple... yet really touching. Here's the song which keeps running in my head now. (I'll talk about the movie in a separate post).

"Anyone Else But You" by The Moldy Peaches
