I finished the vocals of the first song on the new album.
It's called "Never Let You Go"
It sounds like a love song, but kinda stalkerish too!
Until next week....

TFSA Album #2 update and more!
We recorded the bass to the first two songs and only have the "metal" song to add bass to.
Greg said he'd like to stick to the "finish a song before starting a new one" way of working...which I agree with.
I hope to have vocals finished on these two before next monday.
We (meaning me) printed up color and B&W versions of "Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe" over the weekend. We have 20 color copies and a bunch of B&W versions that we're putting at record stores, clubs and book stores where people would normally find fliers for free.
We paid for the t-shirt order today! We'll get the proof to ok before they start to print by Friday I hope, and then it'll be here about 10-15 days after that.
Everyone who ordered a t-shirt will get a color copy of the cd.
Until next week..."We miss the Cold War."

Keep it Secret...Artwork and Lyrics for download and printing
These are for people who download the album, so you can make a hard copy on cd with artwork and lyrics...or just to figure out what I'm singing!
I don't have a working printer right now, but they should come up the right size to cut (with a little cropping) and fit inside a cd case (I suggest a slimline one, it looks better!)
B&W & Color versions of the art are available. Enjoy!
Let me know if they don't work, I can send you the file.

TFSA in the future.
So this whole t-shirt thing was kind of a headache for me, pretty stressful and expensive...
...so it won't be happening again anytime soon.
I'm really happy that so many of my friends were supportive and bought t-shirts. Unfortunately I wasn't able to print up any extras. I'm not sure Greg even told anyone about it?
Now that we have the bandcamp page
www.thefairlysecretarmy.bandcamp.com
I decided that every cd will be only printed up in quantities of 20 (the number of discs on a lightscribe disc spool). Some B&W minimal art will be made and 20 "flier" copies will be made and placed at record stores and clubs where people can take them free. These will just be a normal cd-r with info written in marker...not the cool lightscribe discs that have printing laser printed on them or the color artwork with lyrics.
And our other project WAVES OF MERCURY will be done this way too (except no "flier" copies) and I hope we end up doing a bandcamp page for that project as well.
Until...

TFSA Album #2! ...and the metal is on again!
Greg came to Monday with an old song he never finished.
It's very metal and has tons of harmonies all over the place.
I recorded drums and we finished all the guitars...I think?
Maybe the title will have the word "Worms" in it...we'll see?
until next week...when we record a bunch of bass!

TFSA Album #2!
That's right, we're writing for the second album!
We just have to print up the first one and get it up on http://bandcamp.com/
and also print up the t-shirts.
We worked on two songs tonight!
Both of them were from practice tapes that I played with the guitarist (Robert Scarseth) in my first band Second Thought. We only played the partial songs a few times to record a practice tape, and then we parted. This was in 1992, so I decided to use the partial ideas that we had and flesh them out.
Yes, he will get credit!
So, we recorded drums and guitars for both songs. I think we have all the guitars done, but sometimes we end up adding more.
Greg has a bass idea for one of the songs, and I had to practically force him to let me hear the thing...it sounds really cool.
Until next week...

TFSA - "Keep it secret, keep it safe"
We have finished all the recording for the first album titled "Keep it secret, keep it safe"
Greg finished the guitars on the newest song "Geek Love" last night. And added bass to "A part, yet apart", which already had everything on it.
I recorded vocals for "Geek Love" and man are they fun!
Tonight I did a rough mix of the album and it sounds pretty good, but over the next few days, I'll take notes and work on it when I can. We won't be writing next Monday, it's basically for mixing, unless I finish it and Greg listens to all 29:40 of it and likes it.
Then I guess we'll start on the next album, I think it'll be called "We miss the Cold War"
I'll also be writing all the lyrics down to send to Greg for the layout.
Until next week...Order a t-shirt!
