we have a last minute-ish show in Uxbridge tomorrow night. Yesterday at rehearsal we tried some new things... Marc has a new bass and i have a glockenspiel (which marc ended up playing while also playing bass - really hard!). I just get to smile and play guitar lol. Gonna play a couple new songs out there, and a new cover. The first time we played in Uxbridge (a few months ago) the people were really cool, really interested. I hope we have another good night like that again. Would be nice to see some familiar faces!

i'm late on sending stocking stuffers home to Winnipeg. Will have to expresspost them out today. Expresspost is my friend. :) Just realized i sent something expresspost a few weeks ago and the slip i got had a scratch and win area on it... that i never scratched. where the hell did i put that slip? maybe i would have won something big, and now i'll never know.

have a session with Tamara to work on her record today. We've finished all the bed tracks (bass/drums/piano/acoustic guitar) - ok not all those are "bed tracks" but to me they are lol. It's shaping up quite nicely, though we still have other instruments to record. I sure am enjoying producing this record.

i had another frustrating session of my own yesterday, trying to get in the right mood to do a vocal for a song on my record. Correction: re-do a vocal. I already have one but i don't like the mic i sang on. As I sang to the track i started hearing things in it that i wanted to change... (in the track) and now i think i'm going to recut some stuff. sigh. sometimes it feels like this record has been dragging on forever. but that's what happens when you're only one person... it takes much longer.
