Is that awesome or what?

From the 9th to the 12th i will record all the vocals. I will be doing a daily video “diary” of the process so you can follow along on this blog, using my spiffy Kindle Fire HD to record and upload.

On the 13th i will fly back and immediately begin mixdown. It should take 2 weeks maximum and then, somewhere in the 20s of May release the album on Bandcamp with iTunes and Amazon release occurring about a month or so later.

I WILL put lyrics to the entire thing up here on the blog under libretto since i know i will get a ton of email otherwise.

So, to recap:

1. Here’s Courtney. She’s awesome.

2. Heading to London May 8th, will be doing daily video updates

3. Album released sometime in the May 20s.

Cheers.
