too much way too soon

Ok, I know this is nothing new, but once again me and kev were in for hours over the weekend doing yet more drum parts. There are now a few stickers appearing on the progress chart on the wall. Kev finished the parts in 'Shakedown' and 'Caffeine' - his two least favourite tracks on the record....it's always harder to record parts for songs that aren't your favourites, so we got them out of the way.

Some of the drum fils are super-quick. Kev has been deliberately putting in parts that he thinks the drummers we've met on tour are gonna have fun trying to play along to. I can play a bit of drums, but there's no way I could attempt to pull some of this stuff off....the kid has got some talent...but don't tell him i said that, his ego is big enough already (plus I know he never reads my posts on here).

One more week of drums - three more songs for the album and then the extra tracks we're recording for website downloads/MySpace/whatever we use them for.

Also trying to put the promotion in action soon. We've given ourselves the deadline of January 31st for the street-team to be up and running...that'll probably be the basic version with more stuff for it being added all the time, but wish us luck either way.
