Harrison Hudson spent the day with us at the studio yesterday taking photos and hanging out. He let everyone ride his scooter which we were sure would end in disaster but everyone made it through unharmed. Here are a couple photos from the day.

We finished tracking “Everything To Nothing” last night. Everyone seems to be getting used to the monitoring system and playing together with the click track and headphones and everything.

Afterward I went out with harrison to grab a drink at the Taproom and then he crashed at the hotel with us. It was nice to get out somewhere other than the studio or hotel. Our friend Tommy Hans is here at the studio now hanging out. He was kind enough to let us come hang out at his house the first night we got here. He used to play in a band called Arkitekt that we Manchester used to play with allot before I joined the band and we havent seen much of his in the last couple years so it has been great to see him.

My wife is on her way to Nashville now for the weekend so I am excited to see her. I’m sure it will be a little boring for her at the studio and I won’t have a ton of time to hang out but I am really looking forward to seeing her.

We have been tracking a song tentatively named “Tony The Tiger” today. We had some issues with Andy’s amp that took a while to fix and then got through a handful of takes and now Joe is comping it all together to see if we need to track anymore while we hang out and wait for or sushi to arrive. Hopefully we got it all and can get through another track before wrapping tonight.

Last night after the show Robert downloaded the latest episode of LOST so I really didn’t have time to write or update any photos. We all gathered around his computer on a mattress on the floor in he and Chris’ abnormally large and awkwardly shaped hotel room and watched the episode together. As always we were left spouting off random theories on what could be happening but really just being completely clueless. It was kind of nice watching One Tree Hill today after missing 6 or so episode and being able to catch on to what is going on within a few minutes. Those writers are pretty clever how they make you love and hate certain characters and then totally change you emotions towards them in an episode or two. WB shows are some deep and groundbreaking stuff. Last night’s show was fun. The monitor guy had the balls to fall asleep during our set with his feet up on the console and leaned back against the wall. I watched him for almost 2 songs and then threw my drumstick sleeve at him and hit him smack in the center on the chest. He woke up extremely confused fixed what I asked him to fix and then went back to sleep. After our last full band song I walked to his side of the stage and yelled at him a bit and made sure he was able to keep himself awake for the last song. It was really quite impressive actually. He must have either been very tired, or very talented at sleeping as we are a very loud band live and the light guy had strobes going every single song.I walked around a bit before the show and went into an old Catholic church that was across the street. There was an organist up in the balcony playing a HUGE organ. It was really pretty awesome.Today we drove to Bristol. One Tree Hill along the way as I mentioned earlier. Lucas has been making some bad decisions and Dan is somehow making me think he just MIGHT have a heart and some good in him. MAYBE. I’m just glad Lucas is alive actually. Today was a close call. Tomorrow is a long drive so hopefully I won’t get stuck in the front seat and cal watch more OTH.Tonight show was at this crazy venue that is actually the hull of a big boat that is docked in the harbor. There is a restaurant upstairs and a venue and bar downstairs. A large metal tank isn’t exactly the best place for a good sounding concert but it made for a really cool experience. We had never played in Bristol or really anywhere nearby and somehow had 200+ people come out. Anathallo even had some real fans tonight which was awesome. We ran into some guys from New Mexico that we had met at shows before. They were staying in Spain I think and were in London for a bit and saw we were playing so they took a train to bristol to see the show which was pretty awesome. It must be amazing being able to have that freedom and opportunity to just travel around for fun. Obviously I get to travel alot but always on a strict schedule for work without many chances to just wander around and do things like that on a whim. It would be pretty awesome.Everyone is pretty under the weather still. Bret is actually suffering through an awful cold/fever and I am sharing a bed with him tonight praying that I don’t catch it. I will have to double up on the vitamin that my wonderful wife so thoughtfully bought me so I would stop coming home sick from every trip.Here are a couple photos from the last 2 days

Today was our first day off of the tour and was much needed. I woke up a bit congested and with the start of a sore throat. I took some vitamins and drank a ton of water and am hoping not to get sick for real. I had to ride up front in the van today which meant missing out on One Tree Hill. Some of the guys skipped ahead and watched a few episodes last night so I was already behind in the story line so I gave up trying to follow just by listening and decided to invest some time in Anathallo’s new record. It turned out to be the perfect soundtrack to the drive. The album is amazing. They really took everything to the next level. I didn’t feel like I was listening to my friends’ new record. I felt like someone had just given me a new CD to listen to and I had just been introduced to something amazing. It was the sort of feeling I remember having listening to bands like GSYBE! or Sigur Ros but there are melodies and hooks that I could connect with on the first listen. Between this and the new Colour Revolt record, the bar has been set pretty high for us to make a new record that can be in the same league. Enough gushing.

We tried getting breakfast at McDonald’s but they were filming a training video inside so we couldn’t go in. Lame. To be fair they gave us coupons for free Big Macs. Sweet. Only good at that location. Lame. So we found our way to another McD’s who happened to let us use the coupons. Sweet.After listening to the Anathallo record I spent the rest of the drive watching 30 Rock episodes on J’s iPod which he was kind enough to let me borrow because mine was lost/stolen a while back. That show is absolutely brilliantly hilarious. Every character on that show is amazing.The XFM session was pretty short and painless. Andy did it acoustic and the rest of us just hung out in the lobby playing foosball. Andy did a Mountain Goat’s cover that was great. I really wasn’t into them at first but they really grew on me. Great songs.After checking into the hotel Jeremiah (of Anathallo) and I went and got some Thai food nearby. They were set up for Valentine’s day so we had a very cozy candle lit table. My dinner was great but incredibly too spicy for my taste. I’m a pansy when it comes to spicy food.Bret and I FINALY watched last weeks episode of LOST. I don’t even know what to think. It was amazing of course. Made our heads spin with questions and “what if’s”. They don’t air the new episode here until Sunday though so it will be a while before we get to watch it.Tomorrow we play here in Manchester so we get to sleep in and I will have to time to get some work done. I am way behind on getting together content for the new Favorite Gentlemen website that Elizabeth Malpass is doing for us. I should probably get to sleep so I don’t sleep in too late. So that’s it for my way to detailed summary of my day. Enjoy a few pictures from the trip so far.
