… little guys for “Combat” …

I decided to do some singing today. Seeing how I want to shoot the video for “Combat” in the next month, I figured I better start recording some scratch vocals and focus on some lyrics.

I got these little army men today for my video shoot so here is a quick shot of them with a tank. Filmed with my firmware hacked Canon A640 and my focus wobble script. They are all the wrong scale to work at the model railway club — too big.

I spent a couple hours working on the song and finished up a decent rough mix to check the lyrics. I’m giving myself two weeks to finish the tracking of “Bits” in June, so it was reassuring to know that I could blast through a song in a couple hours and feel good about it.

We have had record heat here in Portland today — 94 degrees. It feels good to get cooked. I’m sure I’ll be sick of it by the end of the summer, but it’s fun now.
