Recording Marathon - Day 1

Well, as it turned out (thanks to a mis-communication) our 2 day marathon was only going to be one day. But we have also this afternoon to get more work done. Did we get a lot done? Yes. But, we also got a lot not done. But that's okay. I think it turned out just about as expected.

I got some great footage of the experience. Like when we covered Caleb's drums with blankets so that the drum sounds wouldn't bounce all around the room.



Or this time when Ben and I were arguing about how the song is supposed to be played.



I'll post the rest of the photos on flickr for your viewing pleasure.

We'll see how it goes today. We are going to lay down bass parts and guitar layers....maybe break out the acoustic a bit. There's is definitely some great music coming your way.

OTSB @ Austin's Coffee

What a great show, hey?

I'm looking forward to getting some videos of the performance up on youtube

Thanks to everyone who came. And how about Missing Fingers and Dan? Nice work.

You can see some great pics from the show here

In Response..

In response to my question, "Who are we like?" I received quite a detailed explanation of the entire OTSB debut album. Thanks a lot anonymous!

On the Soap Box

Man, it's been a while since I've used blogspot. Gone of the days of "The Philosophies and Empty Deceptions of Thomas W. Moore".

Ahh, those were the days. But now, these are the days....and chances are that my posts will both be less frequent and less passionate. I, of late prefer other medium.

In any case, the debut On the Soap Box (OTSB) album has finally been released! It is titled: "Songs for Your Mothers to Gossip About". Yeah, I think it's funny too.

You can purchase the album online here:

Or you can download the individual tracks here: itunes.com

Or just click around on the stuff below. We would love you to be On the Soap Box fans

In the meantime, I am trying to figure out how to buy groceries without spending any money.
