<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Monday - Jan. 19<sup>th</sup> through Saturday - Jan. 31<sup>st</sup> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong> </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Luke and I got to “Studio D” at about </span><span>12:30 PM</span><span> on Monday. Luckily I didn’t have too much set up to do. Luke decided to use his little practice amp rather than the one he uses when we rehearse as a band. We figured it’d be better than 30 year old speakers. Luke changed his strings, we got the bass sound we wanted for the song, and then we got started with “Fragrant Disregard”. We didn’t get the song finished till a couple days later because Luke had to work Tuesday. We ended up finishing up Fragrant on Wednesday. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>With a few days off from recording, because Luke had to work, I was able to get the rest of the drum editing done so it would be off my mind, finally. Saturday rolls around and we decided to start doing takes of “A Word for Pain & Suffering”. When Jam and I did the click tracks we did them to a different practice version than Luke had been use to listening to. The structure on the one that Luke was used to was actually played wrong so we decided to record it again and that was the one we used. So needless to say Luke was having trouble with the structure, so because of that, we decided to start something else till we decided what we were going to do about the structure. We ended up starting “Another Day in Paradox”. We got about half way through the beginning before we had to stop for the night. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>On Monday we commenced on “Paradox” and got about half way through the song which is about </span><span>6:30</span><span> minutes into it. We hammered out the rest of Paradox on Tuesday.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Wednesday we decided to start “Exit the Excoriated ****”. Luke was able to get half way through the song before had to stop for the night. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Saturday was a very productive day as well as the rest. We got Excoriated **** done and we’re planning on doing “The Shallows on Monday. Thanks for checking in once again. We’re working our asses off trying to get this done for all of you as quickly as possible. Please let us know what you think of Pat’s vocals on “Infinite Blue”. We’re very interested to see what the fans have to say. </span></p>
