Follies and Jollies

Tomorrow, we go back into the studio to try and finish this album. I have yet to hear the rough mixes, and I'm more than a little apprehensive about it. During the last session, we had some issues with timeliness, and I'm concerned that it might be sufficiently noticeable to cause problems. I suspect that both Shahin and I will go over the rough mixes while Brett and Scott set up the kit.

Once that happens, we have four songs to get down -- Red Leaves, Soho, Brazilian Cafe and Snipe Hunting. Personally, I'm more than a little worried about it. These are the more rhythmically complex songs that we have on our plate (well, not Soho so much). I know that the bass line I've been playing on Red is probably too busy, so I might be backing off of the thumping to get a good take. We have consistently had problems hitting the ending stops on Brazilian when we play it live, so I have little reason to think that the studio will make those go any better. And (finally), Snipe is one of those songs that I've never liked what I play on it.

This promises to be interesting.
