Saxon Shore should be done tracking the parts of The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore with Fridmann. I’m waiting to hear some of the rough mixes, but what I’ve heard so far has been impressive. Everyone seems pretty happy with the record so far, but I guess it’s their/our record so there is some inherent bias. If you don’t have their new ep Luck Will Not Save Us from a Jackpot of Nothing, it’s out to all the cool record shops this Tuesday, 31 May. Johnathon and I were talking last night about a second Unwed Sailor album that will feature alternate versions of older songs and new, unreleased tracks performed with the new live lineup of keyboards, bass, and drums. If our plans hold, that will be recorded in September. The White Ox is still on track to be finished in July. There have been a couple more dates added to their tour, so be sure to check those out and see them when they come near you in June. The Bosque Brown website has gotten a bit of a facelift, so go check it out. :::scott:::

I left everyone in the dust for the long drive home after a massive 3 on 3 badminton victory. Let the record show that not only is Dave an amazing producer, he definitely has mad badminton skills. I think most of the guitar parts have been added to the record now and the rest of the time is for experimenting with additional parts and sounds. Tracking should be over on Wednesday and Dave will mix the album in June when Saxon Shore is on tour. Saxon Shore is big in Japan at Linus Records this month. Luck Will Not Save Us from a Jackpot of Nothing is the top seller and Be a Bright Blue is #2. :::scott:::
Quote from the studio wall…”They’ve all got something wrong with them. And that’s a well known fact.” — Tony Doogan on Belle and Sebastian fans (he produced, recorded, and mixed several of their albums). Another studio tale. When Mogwai was here recording Rock Action, they got back late from BJ’s and decided that it would be a good idea to shoot at the windows of their photographer’s rental car. Things escalated to the point of the band completely trashing the car causing $6-8,000 in damages. Part of the plan was to drive the car down the road a ways, set it on fire, and claim that it was stolen, but things never progressed that far.
