Last week must have been the unofficial start of the 09-10 flu season and it kept me down most of the week. Finally though, on Friday, we were able to resume tracking vox for Town Monster and we managed to get a couple of tracks completed. The guys had most of Sleepers Awake over during the session, along with Jacob from Blastronauts, so with 10 or so of us there, we were able to set up a couple room mic's in the live room and do gang vox on Guantanamo. I love gang vox and was really impressed with the natural verb coming from the live room. On Saturday, I was able to start the premixes and things are really sounding good!

Earlier in the week, The Outer Sounds sessions were featured on the hour long "Local Pop" segement on WCRS. Pat interviewed James and Jacob and they played various cuts from the sessions we've been doing all summer. It looks like it may turn into a regular gig which is really cool. Of course the show ended with a little tune from Truth for Sanity, which was a particular surprise to me and was a much appreciated pick me up during the week of flu.

Finally, Blastronauts played the Independents festival downtown on Saturday, which James helped to organize. I wasn't able to attend personally, but hear it was a smash. Jacob heads back to Boston next week, so we will be working on a couple new Blastronauts tracks early this week before they have their CD Release show on Thursday at Oldfield's on High.

They then go off to Athens and Cincy for a couple shows before Jacob heads back. Of course, we'll be continuing to work on Town Monster later in the week and we have a solo artist coming in on Saturday to do a couple of demos. It is going to be a busy week!
