extra thanks to julia from entertainment for the braindead for singing with me on this song. a beautiful voice to make music with. let’s make some more?
i wrote and recorded this song in a barn in boddum, denmark during the aaahh records label yearly retreat. a few pictures of the recording set-up are shown below. all the aaahh records musicians met in a cottage on the north coast of denmark to have some tea and make some music together. these guys were all top notch! you can download all the songs that were recorded during the week at the denmaaahhrk compilation aaahh records site. if you make a donation you can get a real cd and a dvd with some video from denmark. the money from the cds will all go to help fund the cottage rental for the aaahh records 2012 retreat in france.
Right around the time i took this little video of bryyn rocking out in his little brother’s lady jeans (fall of 2008?), bryyn and i did our first official collaborations. I was surprised when last week none other than Mercedes Benz asked bryyn to submit a few songs for a possible feature on their next mix-tape, one of which was the very first song we made together– what i do when you’re gone. I’m amazed they even found it.
It needed a little remixing, but neither bryyn nor i could decide on the final version. So, we’re putting it to a vote:
