When It Rains It Pours

I guess I've got the bug again, because there I was recording last night for the second day in a row.

I've been thinking about doing a Breeders tribute album for a long time now. I can't even remember how long...since 2011? 2012? Not sure. What stopped me was shitty recording equipment, fear of the vocals, and a lack of understanding of and skill for the guitar parts, especially the rhythm guitar parts.

Buoyed by too many listenings to Last Splash last weekend and watching other people's musical dreams come true for 3 straight days, in the last couple of days I've laid down drum tracks for the following:
Cannonball
Divine Hammer (plus bass, vox, lead guitar)
Do You Love Me Now
Flipside
Full on Idle
Hag
Huffer
I Just Wanna Get Along (plus vox)
Invisible Man
New Year
No Aloha
Roi
Saints
Son of Three (plus bass and vox)

Also did guitar/vox/bass for Off You.

It is sort of insane.

It feels like this could actually happen, and pretty quickly. The rhythm guitar parts will, of course, be the made limiting factor. But I think I'm gonna push through everything else and see how far I get. Thought about shooting to get it all done in a couple of weeks and calling it "15 in 15, It's Better Than Jail"...but we'll see.

Think I'm gonna try to store all projects on an external drive to avoid the lack of space problem. Was able to make room for several projects last night, but external storage is probably a necessity in general.
