Rise n Shine
Rise n Shine??? You gotta be crazy!!! who wakes up at 6am? Who are these people. Any sane person knows its better to stay up working all night so you can watch the sun rise before going to bed. OK, so i was mixing while the sun was rising and forgot to watch it. Dammit! Maybe tomorrow morning i can catch the sun rise. Hmmm... Right now i have a date with a pillow and a blanket. Done mixing for the night/morning, whatever it is right now. Actually, i have a rule. Its not the next day til you've slept. Sometimes with this rule, I've actually skipped entire days. Once i was awake for 67 hours straight mixing for Public Enemy. Not even a cat nap. I'd finish a mix, they'd ask me to do another, how can you say no to Public Enemy? After that stretch, i managed to get 6 hours of sleep in a New York hotel room, wake up and do an 18 hour recording/mix session for Aretha Franklin. One of the most amazing and grueling weeks of my entire life. Thought i'd share.
So, its still Monday night for me, and when i wake up it'll be Tuesday round noontime. See ya'll "tomorrow".

A 67 Hour straight work-a-thon sounds like the ingredients to dimensia if you ask me.
Dang ken....I pulled a 51 hour one time...but you got me beat... I admire your work ethic. The fact that somebody with as much credibility as you came from the school im going to this fall inspires me more...you have worked on alot of hip hop classics including my two favorite(College Dropout. Some Uk Review Sites have already given Late Registration a classic rating)you have also worked on classics in other genres as well. even though what i said has much of nothing to do wit da topic, im in the middle of a 36 hour session now and I thought I'd see whats on the blog and leave a comment.
