Across the Pond

So my flight got in at 9am London time and after clearing customs it was straight to the studio to work. Closed my eyes for a couple hours on the plane but no sleep. We flew Virgin Atlantic, great airline, food was really good (honest), service was great, seats were a bit cramped, but not terrible. I started reading Dan Brown's "Deception Point" on the plane. Dan Brown is such an amazing author. he grabs you in the first page and doesnt let you go for a moment, so far its a great read. Angels and Demon's is another captivating book by him (and of course the Da Vinci Code). Part of the Da Vinci Code happens in London, so if i'm really bored one afternoon here i might go check out some of the spots from the book.

Anyway, the ipod was cranking on the plane as well. I listened to "Our Lady Peace", "Breaking Benjamin", "Chevelle", and an awesome album from "Regina Spektor". She is so talented its rediculous, i encourage anyone to check her out www.reginaspektor.com.

I arrived at the studio around 10:30am local time and got straight to work. Set the studio up the way i like it and started catching the vibe of the project. I already mixed the first single and video back in New york, and have worked with these guys for many years. a Great crew of people top to bottom. Passed out around 5pm and woke up at 11pm, shook off the sleep and right back to the studio. I'm sitting here now, 4:50am local time, while Brent does some software configuring, and digital editing, oh, he just told me we're good to go. guess i should get back to work.

Day 1, very productive for a "first day" of a big project, I think this record is gonna come together really well. I'm excited.
