We’re getting closer to our November 12th recording date, and we’re busy getting ready.

We’re recording on the second floor of Scott’s two flat. It’s a nice, bright, open space with high ceilings. It’s also a surprisingly live room acoustically, so we’re going to have to spend some time deadening it. We’re bringing in carpets, blankets, drapes, anything to help deaden the space. We’ll probably end up using the couch as a bass trap in one corner, and a mattress in another corner for a similar purpose.

We’re also trying to pick the tunes that we’re going to tape. Although we’re busily writing new material (we just knocked off another song in rehearsal this week), we’re probably going to spend the bulk of our time recording the more traditional tunes that make up our repertoire. Given the nature of this recording experiment (live to two-track), it makes sense to concentrate on the material we’re most comfortable with.

If you have any suggestions for tunes that we should record, drop us a line. Likewise with record titles.
