Stephen LopezThis Is Not Cake - Live from Towpath Cafe
Hey everyone.
Click through to watch my friends’ Cake cover band, This Is Not Cake, performing live right now on Ustream! Tonight they’re doing Fashion Nugget in its entirety, plus extras!
There’s a kind of statement spoken here.
I’m only reblogging this because I’m not sure that my bandmates are angry enough with me lately and the fact that I mostly agree with Gibson’s ad should serve to increase that anger. I gotta keep them on their toes, you know?

Stitched pano of FMGreen while mixing in Studio B at Electrical Audio. There are no words.
Awesome.
Tonight, Steve Albini continues to play with his computer whilst Scott plays Call of Duty Black Ops and Rick watches.
Meanwhile, back on planet reality: holy shit what the shit is this really happening?
Oh Brother (by steelopus)
Everyone thinks they’re twins, so they took your assumption and ran with it when we were staying with Toni and Dan last night.
From the people you are trusting to make an awesome rock album, I offer you this.
…barbershop raga…
…oh yes we did!
All of these instruments were recorded after 1:00am. That should give you a pretty good indication of how awesome this album is going to be.
Vocals are done. Auxiliary parts have been recorded. All that remains for the Victory! Sessions are a few guitar re-amp tracks, some acoustic guitar tracks, and some minor track editing. Then we’ll sit on it for a month before we drive to Chicago to mix. These are exciting times!
A stitched panoramic photo of FMGreen during the Victory! sessions from 11/11 to 11/14 at Casa de Lopez. Only a few more sessions before the big mix in Chicago. The anticipation is mounting.
Here’s the view from behind the console while we were tracking the drums for Victory last Thursday. Generally speaking, recording sits just behind performing live in terms of things that I most love doing. It’s a hell of a lot of work, but few things are more satisfying than hearing your songs take shape.
The action is getting hot and heavy over here at FMGreen Inc.

(hat tip to shotcopter’s wife)
Sad but true and all too realistic.

Since I’m no longer able to run - due to my asshole left knee - this is how I’ve been working out. It’s good to play in a band with shotcopter because his drums are fucking awesome, and it’s great to play in a band with him that practices in my basement, because his drums are fucking awesome - in my basement.
Do you remember this guy? Snotcobbler or Spotcrocker or something like that?
Anyway.
It’s his birthday for another 30 minutes here in the East. I still think he’s an OK guy and I think some of you probably feel the same way, but let me tell you… you don’t want to hear the names he calls you all behind your backs. Let’s all agree to not hold that against him. At least not for now.
Happy birthday, Scott.
