dear Serenity Fullstop,
i’m back in toronto now and that can only mean one thing: we’re finished! “CHAMP: SodaPop for the Toothless Moaner” is done being mixed. and aside from some panning here and some reverb there – which i’m sure no-one would ever notice, it came out better than we could have expected. we’re really really pleased. and if you’re curious as to how my opinion will hold up in the harsh light of rock criticism, don’t worry because my parents already gave it 10 out of 10. an A+.
anyways, sorry for falling of the map with the mixing blogs. as we got into the more complex songs it made no blogical sense to keep writing because days were getting too packed. also after my friends left for SXSW and i was forced to endure “a unique experience” at the los feliz hotel, i entered an LA delirium which started with a a song called “Not Sick” and ended with an avocado splattered on a wall. IT WAS VERY RIPE.
i can give you a few more clues about the record but really it will be out the digital shelves and real shelves/bargain bins of the world very soon. in a few of months, you can have it. but here are some hints anyways. it has eleven songs, a disney character, fuzzy bits, canadian spelling, hockey sound effects, me singing the lowest note in my range, one (1) saxophone note. and if all this makes you think that we’re rereleasing a tribute to the score of Disney’s The Mighty Ducks, then you may not be entirely off the mark.
to sum up:
keep checking in here and on our twitter and we’ll give you updates on how “Champ: Did Somebody Say Glory?!” is.
best,
dave
