by the end of recording, i will have smoked 225 cigarettes.
as a band, we will have imbibed 21 cases of beer.
we will have watched 45 feature-length films.
we will have recorded for 168 hours.
i will have rekindled a friendship with one person, and ruined a friendship with another.

studio blog 1
somewhere between 3.5 and 4 days we've been here at atlas. drum tracking is coming along, taking longer than i thought but gotta make that shit perfect yo? 9, 12, 13 15 and the bonus song left to do. confident we'll be done with them wednesday however. i am anxious about the time it's taken but i think justin and mattallison are excited about what we are doing, and not getting impatient with us. i think they realize how complex this shit is and they know its gonna take mad work to make it sound rad. i duno. i'm self-conscious about it. don't want to appear unpro. scared about how much time we have left.
yesterday: collect calls from home. tell them that i realize that everyone who lives will someday die, but not before having a three-hour conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a year. i have no idea how to feel about the whole situation but it has been on my mind more today than i would have hoped. i guess its just nice to reconnect with old friends. haven't been doing as much of that lately as i have been disconnecting from new ones.
its hard to feel like so much of my life is on track and great yet i can't manage to figure myself out in some areas. maybe throwing myself at the band and our work is my way of escaping the parts of my life i still don't really get.

the banger's embrace
they say you can't relive the past
but as the lights went down it all came rushing back
half a life away, the night,
for a first time in a lonely life,
a young soul took flight
when the music died
to ends of time had been neatly tied.
descending lights had scorched the plains.
returning kings back to reclaim
lost desciples that remained
to tend the flames
but as the lights went down it all came rushing back

a young soul took flight
when the music died

descending lights had scorched the plains.
returning kings back to reclaim
lost desciples that remained
to tend the flames
