Jobless, Show on Friday, & WRAS Interview

I'm afforded more time to work on the record right now. Joey and I are working on some songs tomorrow. I will be attending Brooke Waggoner's Album release in Nashville tomorrow night. I designed the album artwork, and she's playing with a 20 piece band so I'm really excited.

Been thinking a lot about everything. Redesigned the Sealions myspace page. Talked about the new record and ideas with my best friends The Coathangers while getting some pizza tonight. Started writing some new lyrics and worked on some intricate details within a few songs.

I'm still very excited about recording the full length! Its one of the only things keeping me going.

You can download and listen to the radio interview we recorded back in June for WRAS 88.5 FM. It's pretty ridiculous. We mention the new record, squeejers, and our photographer, Rivers. Also got a few of our songs some airplay.

Athens

More Pre-production work this past weekend. Joey and I drove to Athens to go over some tracks with Joe McMullen, Sealions original drummer, and engineer of our 2005 EP, "Ultramarine".

We worked though "Arrows", "Workhorse", "Quarter Moon", "Can't Be Sure", "Wish Me Well", and "Spine". Joe set up two mics and recorded what we did. Still deciding what will be electronic, sampled, or played live. We recently parted ways with our good friend and latest drummer, Keefe Justice. On good terms of course. We've asked Joe to fill in some spaces on our upcoming effort.

We may also be replacing one of the tracks with a brand new one. Still undetermined. Practicing this week for a show on Friday. We will playing to Electronic drum tracks. We've played this way once before and are exciting to move in that direction as a live act.

We're still also determining what drums will be on the record and where we will be recording them. They have to be incredible sounding, and I won't settle for any less.

So, the tentative date has been pushed back for various reasons. Hopefully things will work themselves out and progress will continue.
