1650 - Met Sharyn at Melbourne Central, her tram was late. She usually gets the train through the loop but today thought she would get off at Flinders Street Station and get a tram up Swanston Street as it might be quicker. Of course she just missed 4 trams and had to wait ages for the next one. All this during peak time of course. The universe rewarded her meticulous planning. We then went to QV to pickup an order for Sharyn, then I walked her, Roger and Fritz to the train station.
Jack and I walked back to the studio and met Paris and Rebecca (from 139 Lonsdale) on the street and chatted for ages about Crazy Owners Corp members. We both had stories to compare. I got some Hanaichi as well.
Came back to the studio and watched The Office US (not the god awful Australian dumpster fire version) while eating dinner. Then I thought I would maybe record vocals for this track.
I actually started the mapping and arrangement for the song last night. I "nearly" went to bed, but thought It was a tad too early to get some sleep, even though I have an MRI of my knee tomorrow. So I booted up the studio and started on vocals. I fixed my vocal chain as somehow my pre-amp and compressor settings were a little off. The vocals sound crystal clear now.
2158 - Just finished recording vocals for the track. They need comping but I will probably do that tomorrow after I get back from the MRI and Suzy's brthday. I'm catching up with Suzy after the MRI and I need to figure out what to buy her as a birthday gift.
0007 hours - Just finished a rough first version. Printing V1 now. Time for bed now I think.

1927 - Just came back from dinner at Saravanah Bavanah with Louise (she had our usual Mysore Masala Dosa and I had the Uttapam with Tomato, Chilli and Cheese - delicious). She gave me some wonderful birthday presents. Chcoclate Brownies and a Star Trek Cook Book (and a lovely card with dogs on it). I walked her to the tramstop as usual and then went back to the studio and grabbed Jack.
We then went for a walk around the city and I was listening to music and Massive attack came on - Teardrop and Unfinished sympathy. I rang Louise and asked if she'd like to record Teardrops next week, and f not, then we could do one of my original songs. She loved the idea of Massive attack, so it looks like we have the final song for Holiday '24!
2335 - I think I just finished the track. I originally just planned to finalise the vocals, but I ended up tweaking the arrangement, and then finishing off the music and mix and before I knew it, the song was done. Only 2 versions and done in 3 days. Hope you like it.
