And on the seventh day they rested…we’ve been at it a little bit every day since last Saturday, so we’re taking Friday off…here’s a quick peak at Studio 1 after tape and the first coat of mud. One more coat of mud, then on to primer, trim, paint…then rock n roll.

As a mechanical engineer who spends a lot of time on job sites, Cesar’s our resident PPE advisor. I can only hope I’m doing him proud

Favorite songs about soldiers? Country has the market cornered on "songs about the troops" . . . any non-country Veterans Day bangers and anthems?

Demo day one. Not too bad for a couple hours’ work.

It’s beginning-of-buildout day, everybody!

We like to share good things on Thursdays:

I turned on Wisconsin band Slow Pulp's new record, Yard, when I got to the gym a little before 9 and texted my brother a link to the album at 9:08. "Good stuff," I said.

What an understatement.

I'm terrible at describing music, so I'll pick out a couple of nice phrases from Steven Hyden's recent interview with frontwoman Emily Massey:

"amalgam of downer lyrics and poppy guitar jams, which bear an obvious influence from a range of early ’00s mainstream rock"

"sticky melodies"

"a broad set of stylistic turns that span from buzzy pop-punk to dark-hued country"

Maybe it wasn't the best gym record--I didn't out-lift anyone on the non-stop adrenaline surge from the tunes--but it was the best new album I've heard in awhile.
