Well, well, well, boyz-n-girlz! I know I have been working on this for months and months, but I really am getting to the end of The Icons Appointment with Destiny! Did basic mixes on all sixteen songs and now am doing the extra fancy tweaking up. With all due modesty, I believe this album is going return the entire entertainment business to its salad days. It will be bigger than Fleetwood Mac, bigger than Foreigner, maybe even bigger than Journey. Honest.
What else? Friday I went down to KUOW and cut a little piece with Jamala Henderson about the current AotM – featuring all that awesome Jerden stuff. It will air next weekend – let you know when.
In other exciting news, when I wrap this pup this week, I will be mastering the long overdue Green Pajamas Country, in which Jeff and Joe take a sideways turn on a number of Kelly Klassics and make them Kountry Klassics. It’s pretty nice. We have not yet confirmed this, but the rumor is that each album will come with a 100% felt cowboy hat and fully reloadable cap gun! Just sayin’.
I will also be remastering The Life’s Alone shortly, along with a whole second unreleased album of great stuff that we cut after Alone, but never released anything more than the Broken Man single cuz de band broke up. The current plan is to put it out as a two disc set.
On a related note, next month’s AotM will be Picture Day, the current project of former Life dudes Eric (Harris) Lichter and Jimm McIver. It is available in fine stores and whatnot.
Back to mixing, baby!
