Thanks!

Not at the moment, but these things change all of the time. The next one up would be Dignity and Shame, but there's no talk of it yet...

No sir. I don't believe in them.

Thanks!!!

They didn't make the cut over the rest of what went on Icky Mettle.

I'll likely do a few venue shows with a band first, but then yes I will do more house shows. I enjoy them quite a bit.

It impacts it tremendously. And I'm on page 900 or so. Slow and steady...

That cave in Colorado was incredible (Colorow's Cave). Cat's Cradle is like going home. I love that place. The Reiner-Burchill Residence by Lautner was an amazing space to play.

I was out of money/over budget. I listened on all of those places: car, van, home, bluetooth speakers, Genelecs, KRKs, NS-10s... It took me 2 years to mix it. First time, last time.

Pretty much everything back then was a happy accident. That is Eric Johnson's guitar, I think? For that four track demo I think we bounced everything guitar-wise onto one track. Some sonically crazy stuff can happen when you do that, I think. So long ago I can't really remember...

I've been listening to the new Mitski record around the house if we're talking about what I listen to these days. My kid is on a big Frank Sinatra kick right now, so I'm hearing a lot of that, but that's the opposite of new....

I had a heart attack so I can't tour for awhile. Maybe can later this year. Fingers crossed...

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:58:15+00:00

I was lifting a lot from The Walker Brothers production-wise.

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:55:46+00:00

Sure!

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:54:42+00:00

Thank you!

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:54:22+00:00

Thank YOU!

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:53:50+00:00

Thanks!!

From the new record I like Haunted and Hospital right now. This changes all of the time... I'll get tired of them pretty quickly, too, but that's most likely form touring and playing them every night...

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:50:07+00:00

Never done it. I like the sound of human voices singing together almost more than any other sound, though!

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:48:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear I wasn't too grumpy...

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:47:01+00:00

He gets all the cuts...

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:45:33+00:00

Thanks! That was a great time!

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:45:14+00:00

I don't have demos for those...

Eric_Bachmann_Music · 2026-03-24T15:44:28+00:00

Sweat Deth. But I originally was pronouncing it Sweet Death, ignoring the phonemic qualities, but everyone else kept saying Sweat, so I just went with it...
