As WAA don’t play live, we need to generate more material to promote the album. So I spent an hour doing a ‘session’ version of ‘All she left me was a valentine’ .. kind of intentionally rushed to get the urgency. Bass isn’t my thing, but I had a play, and thanks to Flex time in Logic I did OK. Muted bass in an LCD Soundsystem stylee. Nice. The version sounds good so far, but it’s against my natural instincts to leave faults, flaws and rough edges: I have no problems appreciating those elements on others’ work and love leaving in hiss, scrapes and the like in mixes, but in my own music I have the desire to tweak! So, before I tweaked, I stopped.
.. other news, James from One Cure For Man is mailing me files to mix one of their tracks. Looking forwards to that.
