News From The Week That Was
This week in The Cube was a layering and mixing week. Scarfo made some adjustments to “Lately” and “Heart Attack Santa”, but the real progress was made by Boyne on the mic. Backing vocals were added to “Lately” (Necessitating the mixey mix) and full vocals were added to a new song that is currently without a working title but that we are very excited about.
Fun story about that – Euro joined us to be a ‘fly on the wall’ during the vocal recording for the new song. When you are in the room for vocal recordings, the music is only in headphones, so without headphones, you are hearing vocals with no context whatsoever. He joined us as Boyne was soulfully emoting the words “Dick” and “Prick”. The reaction ruined the take as laughter bled onto the recording, but was well worth it.

Boyne’s #4 – For Beginner Piano
Who? Plone
What? For Beginner Piano
Why?
I have really grown to love the Boyne blurbs:
Imagine yourself living in the retro-futuristic world portrayed in Terry Gilliam’s 1985-movie “Brazil”.
You dig?
This sounds like that, only better … depending on what you envision.
Actually, on second thought, if you can imagine that, just go make that album and don’t listen to this.
Then when you are done making it, show it to me, and then go listen to this.
Fyi
I like this a bunch so you will have a lot to live up to.
Three Things I’ve Learned This Week
- Throwing a pack of socks at someone and yelling, “FOR CAMBRIDGE!!!” is not the effective rallying cry I had hoped it would be.
- The term “I’m having a drink and think” is really catching on.
- Euro is good with advice: “Boyne, I don’t know how to say this, but you need to hold your ‘dick’ longer.”
