Tough choices for tonight. Do I go see Audra Mae at The Vermont? Do I go see The Riverboat Gamblers at The Knitting Factory? Do I stay in and record songs? Perhaps all 3 if I plan wisely? We'll just have to wait and see.

Mikey came over to Gramercy Studios last night and tracked some hot bass licks. He drank Modelo's and I drank Stella's. At one point I cooked up a fancy batch of Kettle Mania and ate the whole bag while sitting in my plaid chair and listening to Mike's sweet grooves. He's making Matt Freeman look like Stephen Hawking with these new tunes. We've always liked "lead bass" type music. Between Crimpshrine, Green Day, Op Ivy, and Rancid, I don't think we'll ever be capable of just thumping in the corner to fill in the low end. We did a little bass swap for the next few days so I can use his nice bass to track some of the other new demos. He took my funny little SG bass. I think he's going to fall in love with it. The guy from the Whigs plays one and that's another badass bass band.

I'm going to see Bon Ivar tomorrow night at The Wiltern. Should be interesting. I think I may be able to relate to him judging by a story that was explained to me.

The weekend is getting close. Drink a beer in my honor. I listened to this on my way to work and it was beautiful:
