Chris & Kevin showed up around 10 pm....we arranged and recorded several of Kevin's guitar parts to a piece Chris (bass) and I (drums) worked up months ago. Chris & I re-recorded our parts with a different arrangement and a much tougher sound last week sometime, and so tonight Kevin got to lay his parts down. This is the first time I've recorded Kevin, which was a blast....he knows his shit.
Yesterday (which for me would be Monday....) I brainstormed a very minimal piece on the Rhodes and spent a good part of the afternoon and evening trying to map it out....this has some really tricky rhythms in it....After Kevin left at about 2 or 3 am, Chris and I worked out a rough arrangement for keys and drums, and I guess Kevin will play either bass or guitar. Here's the keyboard-only super-rough demo I did about 6 pm. I realized I couldn't get the amp I usually use to be loud enough, so I used the new TubeWorks bass amp because it's stupid loud....the advantage of the other setup is I have a distortion knob on the other amp, and I was annoyed at not having any fuzz, but I was pleasantly surprised by how clear it sounded through the bass amp so I went with that instead. I'll add fuzz later.
Comments not only welcome but encouraged....

Have you seen the latest Exec Order? http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html?1
This is the first chance I've had to check out your page. Well done! Due to the fact that i can never get away to come see you, this is the next best thing. I'm digging the new rough version. Can't wait to hear the finished product.

Jeff....
thanks! I'm going to be putting a lot more shit up either later tonight or tomorrow.
Neal, I was able to hear the thing in 23: intense, driving. The other one (super whatever) is quite beautiful, haunting, seems like it asks then almost answers questions, then a little bit of jangle, then a little more feeling toward the end. This is awesome for somebody like me who has never got out of the '60s musically. Love you, Eileen
