We relied upon at least one space heater in the garage to make this record. The night Cooper brought a space heater to Sal’s studio was the beginning of a series of thoughtful events. We continue to toy with the fiery imagery of a space heater.

i have never really been a fan of space heaters but like all things in America, heat has become expensive. so rather than heat my entire apartment i just heat the room that i am in.
back when i was rich, a few years ago, i bought this one from dyson for $450 but now i am poor again so i bought this lasko one for $40.

These books called ‘I Spy’ started coming out in 1992. They consist of riddles written by Jean Marzollo, using rhymes to describe a variety of objects in each image you must find in order to turn. The images are by Walter Wick, who is a studio photo legend. Such special room-sized photo illustration pieces that have the ability to stick with people in a serious way. Tried to work with Walter to no avail. There’s an I Spy book in this studio right now, trying to find it. Have you seen it?¿

We are pretty adamant about recording the drums and guitar at the same time. It’s important for us to be in agreement about song structure and tonality when we’re getting a basic track. Less things to fix or think about later. We used to record the vocals live years ago. But why not use the linear aspect to use time getting an appropriate performance and really think about some cool overdubs?

Being from coastal Massachusetts… love a ship, love a train. When this band formed, we took a ferry in order to rehearse. 15 years later, Sal made sure that we saw the SS United States (still holds the record for fastest transatlantic crossing) last time we played in Philadelphia. Growing up in a place without trains, the fascination has never ceased. We recently went to this model train expo at the Big E (eastern states exposition and fair grounds). At approximately 450,000 square feet, I hear it’s the largest in North America! Cooper got a conductor pin and Sal got an engineer pin.
