Day 16
These are the last days of recording. We’re running behind schedule at this stage; trying to add extra week after the first extra week that we added wasn't enough. We need to start mixing soon so we complete the record over here in America, with Coachella Festival (29/30 April) looming as one deadline, closely followed by the absolute time-limit of Wayne’s flight back to Australia on 2 May.
We did Danny’s song “Late Last Night” today with Danny on lead and Dan and Toby sharing the back ups. Danny did percussion at night on half a dozen songs. Atom thought his timing was so good he could be a session-percussionist. Nice compliment.
Also today, Cam worked out how to use Reason sampler/sequencer on the Mac to make use of a sample library that Justin Stanley gave us. Justin’s an Australian producer living in LA. Wayne and I know him separately but we got his number from Uncle Rico when we bumped into him at Burbank! I know Justin cause he produced "In The Jungle" on The Vines first record. He used to play in Noiseworks in the eighties but now he’s married to Nikka Costa and just finished playing on Beck’s latest record. Sounds impressive? Worth the digression? The library he kindly loaned us had samples of vibes, harpsichord and glockenspiel - all of which we used on our record. Thanks Justin.
