3 & 4

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday...but things are still going well.

I finished all the drumming for the album...new plan is to finish guitars and bass by Friday, then keyboards Saturday, vocals Sunday. No idea when I'll mix.

Right now I have no less than FIFTEEN tracks...each around a minute and a half. I'll probably combine a few of them, as there is absolutely no logic to how it's divided up right now.

And I'm strongly flirting with the idea of making this entire album about brushing your teeth. Originally I was going to do a different children's topic for each song, but I keep coming back to the teeth-brushing thing.

Music-wise, this is a dance album, in the broadest sense of the term. No electronica whatsoever...we're talking jigs, waltzes, tarantellas, hardcore 2-steppin, soca, bossa nova, a little headbanging, and even a brief appearance by a close relative of the Chicken Dance (played on my new melodica of course). This is without a doubt the stupidest album I've ever done, and that's saying something (especially for those of you who have heard my mini-musical based on Home Alone 2).

Anyways, can't wait to get back home and shred...later!
