While DD69 is on hiatus (while slowly, slowly working on our next album “The Pint of No Return“), I had the opportunity to do a fun project with Jay Goodman of Skinny Moo. We put together a theme song for a really fun podcast called “Does This Hold Up“, in[…]
Songwriting
It’s, like, heavy
Since we’re on a little bit of a hiatus here, what with personal obligations of a few of the guys, I’ve taken to exploring ways to work on things that we : (a) have in the pipeline in some sort of state of completion (b) want to resurrect from the[…]
A trip down psycho-minivan-driver lane
I’ve been spending time working on the other side of town recently, and decided to head home one day using the route I took when I was working a temporary job across town a number of years ago. The route goes through several old east side neighborhoods, past universities and[…]
Song evolution 3: the demo edit
When we last left our developing song (in part 2: a rough edit) we had a rudimentary song structure, but we were missing some good stuff: transitions, a chorus, a bridge. Usually after listening to the initial idea for a while, one or more of us will come up with[…]
Song evolution (part 2: a rough edit)
Continuing from part 1 (a jam), we pick up with the evolution of the song “The Next Minute” which will be included on our upcoming record As Big As You Can Get It. Typically after a studio night is over, the guys head home and I stay up until the[…]
Song evolution (part 1: a jam)
We labor over the songs we write. Music, lyrics, tempo, sounds… we’re always trying to get it to sound in our ears the way we hear it in our heads. Sometimes that takes a while. Okay, most of the time it takes a while. But we’re usually pretty pleased with[…]

A new theme?
We spent Sunday alternately watching football (by the way, the RedZone channel may forever replace the way we watch football) and working in the studio. Our main goal was to get all the parts recorded for a potential new theme song for ESPN’s WKNR 850 radio show “Afternoon R &[…]
