I spent most of today in a dandy little recording studio in Lompoc, CA called “Certain Sparks.” They charge the most ridiculous prices I’ve ever seen for recording fees…

…$10/hour. I know, crazy right??

Now I’m no dummy, and even if the quality was poor (and it’s actually quite good), you can’t beat the price. So we tracked acoustic guitar and vocals for “Out of my League” and then I headed back home to L.A., hoping to be back in time for Amy’s show.
With about a half hour to spare, I segregated myself from the I-405-induced road rage and angst that can only be achieved by driving 20 miles in first gear over the span of 2 hours.

I checked in with the MySpace crew, then quickly headed out for an iced mocha and an hour of good music at the Welcome Cafe.

(SIDE NOTE: I’m playing there Oct 7.)

Amy delivered a great performance again tonight, and I think she caught me singing along a couple of times. Already.

Got to chat with Mandi Martin again (turns out Mandi manages Amy), and talk more about the music thing. I’ve got to send her some of my tunes for critique and perhaps production work, if she digs the sound.

I’m so happy to have finally started recording “Out of My League.” It’s been a long time coming, and you guys are gonna go crazy for the finished product. One day.
