Rather than write a bunch of snark about our weekend studio session with Tom Polce at Q Division, why not tell the story in the time-honored format of the photo journal? Huh? I'm not afraid to get all Life Magazine on your douchey asses.
Here, my girlfriend takes a few needlessly artsy shots of Nate and I laying down some serious funky funk in the A room:

Then, someone gets a drum lesson... but who's teaching whom? Fa FA!
While Mike lays down the drum tracks in the studio, Scamper auditions his replacement:
Quick story: as Tom and I were laying down the bass tracks, Keith slowly crept into the studio, sipping from a pumpkin spice latte. Without looking up, Tom says "Ok, you want to pull on those eighth notes really hard and why does it suddenly smell like a knick knack shoppe in Newburyport in here?"
It was funny. Funny is fun.

One day working on our album, me n' old "Josh Harnett" Lohr went for broke recording useless percussion shit with no supervision, and named tracks with completely inappropriate names.
After we'd given the tracks to Tom to mix, he gave Hugh a call and just asked:
"What the fuck is a Man-bourine?"
True story.
Some track names that we've had in the past:
Bufkin: a country-bumpkin-esque guitar riff
Jongle: the third part of a jingle-jangle guitar harmony
Gay Choir: 5-part vocal harmony, all performed by Tom
That last picture is just precious!

FYI: The Boston chapter of this is right down the hall from my office. The Gay Choir that is, not vocal harmonies performed by Tom.
I am not usually a fan of small children, but that one deserves a rasberry. Wook at the wittle cutie pie.
That picture of Jason getting a lesson from Uncle Tom is SO precious! :-)

Jason had a lot of fun that day, that's for sure. He's still talking about playing in a band. Earlier today, out of the blue, he said: "Remember Tom?" Me: "Yeah, I remember Tom." Jason: "Tom plays the drums." So I wonder if instead of constant "Mike plays the drums", it will be "Tom plays the drums."
