News From The Week That Was
Welcome back – another week plugging away in The Cube as the new album takes shape. After last week’s powwow, a lot of mixing changes happened, not a glorious thing, but a necessary one. Needless to say, the new giant ashtray helped with this. Mixing goes with smoking like morning coffee.
Additionally, Puffer added acoustic guitar lines to “Hesitant” and we have lyrics for another new one, tentatively titled, “The Storm”. This was a result of a writing challenge from Boyne to Scarfo. Actual conversation from two weird dudes:
Scarfo: Give me something to write about.
Boyne: Manifest destiny.
Scarfo: Already did one about that for FTHW.
Boyne: Reverse Racism.
Scarfo: I hate you.
Challenge accepted – spoiler alert, the song does not come out on the side that it actually exists.

Boyne’s #2 – Moseley Shoals
Who?: Ocean Colour Scene
What?: Moseley Shoals
Why?:
This is one of the most important albums in my life. It is perfect, I used to cover these songs all the time as a kid playing chip joints and coffee houses. They made me a better songwriter and singer. I didn’t often say who wrote them mostly because this album would be half my set and that’s just embarrassing. But if someone asked I would gush about how great they were and I continue to do so today.
If you like ya know “music” you should give this a go.
