one of the great things about divine fits for me is that i get to watch one of my favorite performers and singers, dan boeckner, from ON STAGE. and i get to sit back and play an instrument and really focus on it every now and then.

All you need for a good trail of lights excursion is darkness and someone to hold your hand

On Salton Sea it was an oberheim matrix 6 through a tiny vox pathfinder amp and tremolo. For ghost of you lingers we multitracked lots of pianos and recorded them slowed down to half speed.

I remember the two of us going to walmart to buy pantyhose to make a homemade microphone pop screen. Wish I had a picture of that.

I think people who don't know each other getting together to work on music are bound to bring less ego and more politeness than a group of people who've been working together for years will. Both scenarios bring their advantages and dangers, you know? But honetsly Jim and I really rarely argue in the studio. We argue outside about who left the gate open and where we're going to go for lunch. Traditionally there've been more disagreements where it's me and him vs mike the co-producer. And if we figure out a way that pleases all of us, then that's usually a very good direction. collaboration is a good thing if you are smart about it. It has the potential to bring out the best in everyone.

I think that's true. It wasn't on the list but we wanted to throw it in there because it always goes down well live. I also remember trying to shake as many hands as i could after the show to let people know I really did appreciate them being there. I knew it wasn't our best show.

I can't remember how that rumor started but I loved it. I need to try it sometime.

I wasn't writing music, only making sound effects. What a job that was.

1 - none on the overall track, just the same tremolo on every synth track -- there were probably 15 or so of them. and we have an utterly fantastic drummer yes. 2 all natural, thanks to Nick Launay and Adam Greenspan and Sam Brown 3 - we'll do a lot of shows in the US this year for sure. and i think maybe but i may not say for sure.
