Fire
If you had not heard about this past week's fires in the "greater" Los Angeles area, you were either under a rock or too busy with whatever it is that you do. I actually know a few people that live in the valley that for some reason did not know there was a huge fire than devoured more than 10,000 acres and a few folks and pets.
The house I share with Mark (TechItch) and Jill is locaed in Granada Hills, a mile or so from where the fire raged. I do not live there anymore as I am back in my Hollywood spot, however, our recording studio is filled with gear including vintage processors, guitars, drums, etc.

Attrition
You may have read the last post about Attrition and Amtrak misplacing their bags for several hours.
Anyhow, I joined them as the drummer for one night in Hollywood, at their Bar Sinister performance.
I was feeling sick prior to going back to the venue after soundcheck and this feeling continued.
I was given some red wine to make me relax, but this did not help and soon felt quite ill. I believe the shot of whiskey and continued intake of wine which recurred even during the performance did not help. Nor did the two Tylenols. Apparently, i blacked out during two songs with my eyes shut and head down, yet had gone into some mode of auto-pilot drumming, where I did not miss a single beat. This was noted by both the band and all in the audience who noticed. I recall a song ending and thinking we were about to do this funky sorta dark drum n bass style beat to a spooky gothesque tune and we had just played it.... hmmm ;)
Recent remixes
The latest Godhead album is out now. It was released on the 7th of October and includes my remix of the single, "Soldier", included. Also forthcoming is my remix for the band, West Indian Girl. I will do a followup posting with links to releases with a future update with free downloads to over 50 songs of mine from various projects including Emit Peels, Red Light District, Zeitmahl, Lavender Hill Mob, Trikanasana, Sisters Of Mixing and more.
Current
I have been working on the Josie Cotton album and it is sounding quite delicious! She will soon have a few snippets on her myspace page. If you think you have heard the name before, it could be the from the 80s hit, "Johnny Are You Queer?" or you saw the Nicolas Cage flick, "Valley Girl".The album with Mark (TechItch) is coming along smoothly too. We have a few dozen songs which will be narrowed down and completed for our 2009 release which features a variety of amazing vocalists, most of whom are established from their own work. The first of these to be previewed features the fantastic voice of Sir Douglas "The Dentist" McCarthy, whose vocals and lyrics provided a huge anthem for me and many others during the later 80s and again in the 90s with his band, Nitzer Ebb.
Work has also resumed on Zeitmahl now that the final mixing for Red Light District is nearing completion. A new live band will be unveiled in the coming weeks too!
