I finally got a chance last night to go through the drum sessions from NYC the other week and give them a listen. When we were at the studio, we kept between 3 and 6 takes for each song. For some songs, we tried a couple different tempos, and for others, Mike or Tom played […]

iTunes 8, I think I’m turning Japanese?
September 9, 2008

She had this song called “All While Laughing” that she had recorded a quick […]
