maybe when billy fired Nicole and Mike he canned his guitar tech as well. Probably the only way he could keep paying Jeff

Ok so It sounds like the first album is near done at 9 tracks. I'm surprised they didn't try to bang out a 10th track just to keep things at an even 10. Some of Corgans best songs came when albums were near completion or past completion (Ex. Drown, Cherub Rock, ect.). History says, they should definitely keep experimenting till the final days before they release anything IMO.

Ten is a thoroughly boring number to have of tracks on an album. Nine is where it's at.

APPETITE FOR CONSTRUCTION / SP ALBUM UPDATE
June 19, 2014


For starters, nothing blew up today.

My day, abbreviated, as it was, stayed focused on the 10,000 permutations of how one might play DORIAN. 80’s? 60’s? 2022? How about never?

And after much hemming and hawing with Herr Producer (and our 10,001th convo about ‘what kind of album is this?’) I settled on one guitar, one amp, one speaker, three microphones. The guitar: a Kimberly, or as it’s better known around here, the 1979/MAYONAISE/PISSANT axe. Got essentially a full take and left it at that.

Rest of session was Shredder working on space-age BEING BEIGE elements (he’d report scant progress), and ANTI-HERO streetwalk-riff (‘killer tones bro’). More tomorrow, getting better all the time…



YEP, IT BLOWED UP REAL GOOD / SP ALBUM UPDATE
June 20, 2014


You know the old adage, ‘maybe it’s not someone else’s fault, but yours?’ Neither do I. But let me say that this amp-blowed-up-again problem of mine is starting to freak me out. My tally today? Try two.

First one went like this: turn on amp, play 5 seconds, POOF! Second one went like this: turn on amp, play for 10 seconds, amp makes funny noise, drops to half power, then? You guessed it.

So what did we get done today? Shredder Shredding ONE AND ALL (just before a visit from indie stalwart-superstars Ringo Deathstarr). And a whole lot of noising around MONUMENTS, which will now just have one lean mean guitar. I would have finished tonight but I went deaf from the fuzz (Vox Tone Bender II: and no, we don’t have an endorsement).


TONE BENDERS / SP ALBUM UPDATE
June 21, 2014


https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...01657116_n.jpg
A glorious day; at least for the first 90 minutes in session. The above pictured pedal caressing a Sound City amp, it’s treble negated to zero. MONUMENTS it’s beneficent.

What did I just say? Translation: I got MONUMENTS done quickly (a single take, thank you) by 1:30. Fast forward 6 hours, you’d see me, BC, sitting on a bench, chin on hand. Why? ‘Cause my amp blowed up a-gain (3rd time!)

When even T Lee tells you to turn down then you know you got issues.

So like a good scout boy I tried to match blowed-up amp sound with the Marshall Plexi, and came darn close. But I must admit I was defeated by the sound that just can’t be reigned in. So I await a 3rd (or is it a 4th) repair.

This left Herr Howard saying, ‘fellas, what are we gonna do now?” Shredder: “My overdub on ANTI-HERO?” Howard, “Sure!” (think high voice).

Night over, day defeated. Plenty to do tomorrow.

Maybe it has more to do with the wiring in the studio than the actual amps

I love how "T. Lee" is now immediately elevated to Demi-God status in BC's mind and writing. I mean, prior to a few weeks ago - did we even know that BC and T. LEE were friends, or that he had such a reverence for his drumming?

Whole thing still is just so damn weird to me.

It's interesting reading the confessions now after the panopticon because the writing style is similarly insane, but here he's bitching about Jimmy doing drugs and everything is more harsh and depressing. I'm sure that's partially because it's a look back at the past and he's not trying to promote a new album, but the tone is opposite. It reads like some deep emotional fanfiction.

This is mildly fascinating too

billy's b-sides are generally always adored due to not being overworked and drained like some album tracks turn out.

FELINUS/SP ALBUM UPDATE
June 22, 2014

In documenting what has been one of the strangest weeks of my studio life, I’ve run out of descriptors for the barrage of crackles, snaps, fizzes, and poof-poofs we’ve faced in attempting the most basic of recording functions. So in session we've stared down more of the same, although thankfully nothing blew up! But here’s a list of the wounded for one day: 2 matched mics that were found to be not functioning, an old board with a mysterious hum (later fixed), lightning strikes coming through my pickups, inexplicable amp hums, and a computer that decided to open up a channel despite it being closed; each issue killing valuable recording time.

So in a weeks time we’ve probably only ‘worked’ for half of it with great productivity, which is frustrating knowing all basic guitars would be done by now. But they’re not. Perhaps there is a divine reason for this, and in that I’ll go with the adage that ‘God’s will is your will.’

Anyway, finished acoustic (60’s J-200) and electric (BC Strat into 2nd Marshall plexi; a softer tone ironically) for BEING BEIGE, and then my side of TIBERIUS: my vintage Laney amp run though a variac to steam forward at what the man said was its preferred US power.

Only ANAISE is left. How typical.

W.P.C.
may-ANAISE
