    Black goo

    Posted 1 May 2008, 14:55 by The Kennel

    Excitement built last night as Wharton powered up our AMR2400 console for the first time in its new home. Happy to report all is well!

    Also tested the inter-room connections; they were OK except for 2 XLRs and a 1/4” jack in the live room that need attention.

    Meanwhile, Jim continued to assemble the soundproofing units for the sliding doors.

    Packed away in a crate, we discovered 2 “black goo guns” — props from Dr. Wei Wei and The Fake Brain, a rock opera by James’ former band, Fake Brain.

    Speaking of which, 4 3 songs from that opus are now playing in The Kennel Jukebox: “Antivibe,” “Cop Haircut”, “Fortress of Smallitude” and “Iron Clad Retardo”. All were recorded at the Kennel’s previous incarnation, at the Salt Mines in DUMBO.

    Upcoming: 4 rack units are scheduled for delivery today.

    UPDATE #1: “Cop Haircut” is by LowBrau, not Fake Brain.

    UPDATE #2: The racks arrived in fine shape and Jim assembled 2 of them last night.

  2. “I always expect making a record in a real studio to be a nerve-wracking experience, but Jamie and Jim at the Kennel made me feel right at home, indulging my perfectionist tendencies and caring as much as I did about making my band’s record sound good. Their enthusiasm for their work was obvious. I really looked forward to going to the studio each day, and I’m extremely happy with the results. I’d recommend the Kennel to anyone.“
