<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Monday - Feb. 2<sup>nd</sup> through Saturday &ndash; Feb. 8<sup>th</sup></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>On Monday Luke and I decided to get started on &ldquo;The Shallows&rdquo;. After setting up and talking about what we want to get accomplished for the day, we eventually got started at about </span><span>2 PM</span><span>. I have to do all the camera work whenever Jam isn&rsquo;t around. Fun times, man. Jam and Billy ended up getting to Luke&rsquo;s at about </span><span>3:30</span><span> to help me out and just be there to support whoever is doing their tracks. That&rsquo;s something we never used to do when we recorded and I think it&rsquo;s made a difference in everyone&rsquo;s performance so far. I know I loved the experience. By time </span><span>7 PM</span><span> had rolled around, Luke had gotten through about half the song.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>&nbsp;</span>Wednesday was here before I knew it and I found myself at &ldquo;Studio D&rdquo; once again recording &ldquo;The Shallows&rdquo; with fuckin Luke. It was a good day to say the least. It was probably our most productive day, so far, in my opinion. <span>&nbsp;</span>We got &ldquo;The Shallows&rdquo; finished in about an hour and we decided to start on &ldquo;Successfully Buried in Bison&rdquo;. We ended up finishing the song right at 7 PM. The next two days I spent editing bass tracks and getting a much needed break from &ldquo;do it again&rdquo;. Those of you who have recorded know exactly what I&rsquo;m talking about. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Saturday was a little bit of a rushed day. Jam couldn&rsquo;t find his keys till about </span><span>2 PM</span><span> when he called me to tell me that he couldn&rsquo;t find them. I asked him if he checked his car and he said no. I&rsquo;ll give you one guess where it was. Once we got there, we decided to start &ldquo;My Only Obsession&rdquo;. Luke had to go to work at 5, so we didn&rsquo;t have much time to do tracks. We ended up getting about 2 minutes into the song. We&rsquo;ll get much more done on Monday since we won&rsquo;t be rushed. </span></p>
