Derek called while I was at work and said all the houses we had been looking at were already taken within the last 3 days, lol. Ah, well. That's life I suppose. But we have plenty of time.

But in a way, it was good, because that gave me a night off finally. So I basically chilled out tonight - I worked on "Venus" a lot, and then started "Mercury" tonight. "Venus" was pretty straightforward to do - pretty standard recording process - drums, keys, programming, vocals, and remastering and final effects. But "Mercury" is different. I've been really inspired by one song Otto's Daughter did a few years ago in particular, and on this song, I've started with a single chord and have been editing that into this kind of futuristic beat. Then I've been trying to add in some other simple effects to enhance the "drumline" of sorts, so that's been a lot of fun. In doing that, I found a crazy way to create these almost videogame sounds, similiar to what The Birthday Massacre uses, or what Beck did on that EP before his last album came out. Yeah. I'm obscure.

I've also been chilling on the new Lunarclick forum, since I kinda felt bad for Eric for getting some flak from people about his design. And because Lunarclick is awesoem like that. I also finished up a prototype design that I'm submitting to a band to see if they'd like me to redo their site. They need it, and their awesome. I bet anyone could guess who it is - one of my favorite bands right now, so I really hope they like it.
