Last night we had our final practice before we head into the studio this weekend. Chris came down for a listen to the tracks and everything went well. We will be recording eleven songs, including a song that slipped through the gates at the last possible minute (i wrote it on Sunday evening, we played it for the first time as a full band around 8:30pm last night) called Penance For Raped Angels. The song itself is complete 'Beaster' era Sugar worship, but with a chorus progression that wouldn't be out of place on Definitely Maybe. Weird? Well, kinda. I initially envisioned it as a perfect track 1 on the record, but it felt more like a pummelling mid to late album number as we were running through it last night. It's cool and really, really easy to play, the boys had it down from start to finish in less than ten minutes. So here's the revised / updated list of songs to be tracked this and next weekend:
1) House Of America
2) Don't Say 'No' To Rock N' Roll
3) Blank Cities
4) Whatever Keeps You Alive
5) Drug Money
6) Gorgeous Horses
7) History Of The Bullfight
8) Histrionics
9) Penance For Raped Angels
10) Lake Palmer
11) New Adventures In Wi-Fi
New Adventures In Wi-Fi was once called The Plastic Stays Yellow Forever, then I Had A Dream... the new, and final, change is of course a doff of the cap to the best band that ever stepped out of Athens, Georgia.
Eddie brought a great riff into practice last night too, catchy as all hell itself, but it's gonna have to wait until our next batch of dates with Chris.
Roll on the weekend...
