Friday. Really wet and rainy. Had a hard time getting to sleep last night, actually I do most nights while at the studio. We are here for two more days, so I can catch up on sleep next week. Got in at 1pm and Gummo was working on “Go On”. With ProTools and digital recording, as you record and re-record all day long, an amount of “homework” piles up. Cleaning up messy tracks, making sure there isn’t any “trash” hanging around, like me mumbling on the mic before I start a vocal take, "comping" vocals, etc.

He worked alone for the first part of the day, then I got into singing. Last night’s work on “Go On” went pretty well for the verses, but the choruses are not working rhythmically for me. The faster tempo is making it hard to sing to. I am getting frustrated with this new version. I don’t think it should be difficult or something to re-learn how to sing. I think the first “Go On” version choruses were for lack of a better word, perfect. I love that version. I will try my hardest to fit the vocal on this newer version, but I have serious doubts. I listened to the old version today again to check myself, and I still love it. It’s all good, because this is the “hard work” part that makes the quality of the finished product satisfying.

It’s another Gummo and me day in the studio, quiet except for the music. Dave and Perk are getting ready to play the Anaheim Pond show. I wish I could see it, Camp Freddy shows are such a blast.

We worked on "Go On" for a while, then around 7pm, it became apparent that Gummo needed some serious alone time to get the vocals sorted out and ready to listen to. I went home in the rain and Riss and I got to go see "Constantine". We enjoyed it; good flick, great effects.
