Okay, so over the summer I haven't really done much. Well I've done plenty, but not much related to recording or evenplaying music. As you may or may not know, I actually play and write music in addition to attempting to record music and sound. Normally a number of my mates and I get together once a week and work on songs. I personally play drums, guitar, and bass - not all at once or anything - and not very well - but good enough to write and feel confident recording.
Unfortunately this summer we haven't really been getting together too much. Summer activities are all over the place and getting the kids together in a hot and sweaty basement just isn't the most attractive option (especially when there are free open air concerts downtown including Bon Iver, Social Distortion, and Iron and Wine). So since we haven't been able to really get our scheudles up and running togther we've kinda just called a hiatus on it for the rest of the summer. With full intention of starting back up in the fall (or as soon as the concerts are over).
With all the excuses out of the way - my roommate and I are going to be starting a new project. He is currently learning to play drums and already can play the guitar. He wants to cover around 10 songs by Tears for Fears in various styles (grunge, rockabiliy, country, trip-hop, whatever). So we are going to start working on those - as the songs are completed (or we at least have rough recordings) I'll post the results here and talk about anything special we did.
