junecat

robilard lives in my house. he {a cat} and i {a man} seem to communicate just fine. when people are out for the day, doing whatever it is that they do, he likes to spend his time lounging about on my bed. i rather enjoy his company as i putter around the house in the mornings. today, i work on words for new songs; words that are slow in their arrival. we recorded eight new songs and one old one last weekend. and oh, what an undertaking. so many cables and mics and remotely controlled computers and soot from hollow chimneys. i'm not sure that i've entirely ingested the process or the work from the weekend, but will say with certainty that it felt absolutely spectacular. i am excited beyond any rational degree to be making another record. i get to hear the first batch of rough mixes today; rough meaning nothing more than the basic tracks we did live. in a few weeks, we plan to track eleven more, and will thusly dive into the flesh of our first record as a complete band. and here we are in june. waltzing lightly beneath grey skies and watching life, with all of it neverending changes, spread out before us. june is a cat, sleeping gently on a bed and darting through the air as only a cat can.only a can cat. catcan. nactac. enuj.
