I hope that last things last a hook or a flake
to hold on so you don't break

Well, a week ago I listed one of my favorite albums of the year, and this week I'm back to do the same. The new Rachel's album, Systems/Layers, is kind of like: a pretty girl with her hair down in her face, standing a feet down a dark hallway; she's so beautiful, but there is something very heavy and slightly scary about the whole thing. It is, of course, sad at some points, but if it wasn't then it wouldn't be a Rachel's album. The combination of new cd prices and number of tracks should sell it alone. $13 for 19 tracks, that's about .68 cents a song.

Recording commences today. Lugging equipment to the school, not sure what we're recording yet. Hopefully we'll figure that out before pressing the record button.
We do know this:
there will be, probably, 8 songs
in a perfect world we'd be making vinyl records AND cds, not just the latter
if we were producing the former, we'd put fun things in each album like these guys were known to do
we will be drinking at some point during the recording process
in the midst of drinking, someone might say, "fuck this"
I will have to record my parts at least 7 times before they're "okay enough"
