So reading Jimmy's blog entries is about as stimulating as peeping "Finnegan's Wake" on ketamine. Praise the deity of your choosing, faithful readers, for I am here to deliver y'all to the promised land of Shook Ones edutainment.

First and foremost, the new record will sound pretty much like what you see on the left. Loud, and 3/5ths imported. So that's the good news. The bad news is that Kelly and I still suck like Hoovers at guitar. Basically the tracking has come out sounding like Disorder wandered into Black Sabbath's practice space and started ineptly bashing their gear. Undeterred, Jackson Long has stuck with us and things will probably end up sounding as polished as Mr. Miyagi's car.

Second, Bo lit an Oliver B120 on fire the other day. Not really on purpose, but he was stoked. Fortunately for everyone, the tape was rolling and the pure sonic ecstasy of a burning amplifier should make it on the record. Also, he really likes Erykah Badu.

To the right is our board of progress. When all the boxes are x'd up and proud we will be done. In case you can't tell at home, I'm ahead of Kels. Ha! They don't teach you my kind of work ethic out in Bellevue.

Finally, here's what's spinning during the making of this record:

Captain Beyond "Captain Beyond"
Dismember "Dismember"
Some really shitty Drive By Truckers CD in Bo's Car
R. Kelly "Twelfth Play Fourth Quarter" (also in Bo's whip)
Misc. Honey Badger noises on Scott's computer
Some "little kid ninja" anime on Kelly's computer
DJ Drama and Lil Wayne "The Dedication 2"
A lot of Hum
A bit of Incredible Kidda Band
Only the song "Last Cigarette" by Dramarama (love it!)
Poison Idea "Feel the Darkness"

Lates,
Zack

PS- Word to Ced Dog and Lynn for visiting from Belgium, solos to be shredded next time.
