The time has come again. Two Left Over is heading back into the studio on Sunday... maybe. This time though it's not my fault. Brian is the sick one this time. He might be able to go, but he'll make that decision Saturday morning. Knowing Till, he'll be a goer, regardless if he's 100% or not.
I have mixed feelings about recording. On the one hand, we've got some pretty good new songs that I'd love to have a good, clean recording of. A way to show that we're not just goofing around (which there is plenty of), but that we're a functioning band. Also, it gives me the opportunity to share that music with other people, since we don't get out & play live very often. On the other hand though, I hate the process of recording. It's very sterile. It lacks the fun & looseness of just jamming it out while practicing, or even performing for the masses. Everything has to be exact. Every little detail has to be there. You can't cover it up by just playing louder. The mics won't let ya get away with anything. Which means, playing the same song multiple times to get a take that you can live with.
My attitude about the band, as whole, has changed since the last time I blogged about it. I'm looking at the band in the way that I did when me & Brian decided to do it again as 2LO. It's a release. A way to get away from the usual bullshit, & just let it all go. It's my bi-weekly therapy session. I know my place in the band, & I know that Brian wants me in it. Our last show wasn't what I hoped it would be, but it did rekindle the desire to do it again. Hopefully this recording session will make that flame burn even brighter. I'll keep ya in the know.
