Greetings friends.

We’ve been extraordinarily busy in the studio for the past week. Tucked in between two substantial Wilco tours, we’ve managed to eek out about 16 basic tracks for what will be “The Next Pronto Record.”

This time around Greg and I are recording with the delightful and deft Adam Chilenski on electric and acoustic bass at The Bunker in Brooklyn with John Davis and Aaron Nevezie behind the controls.  This session has exceeded all of my lofty expectations as far as sounds and performances go.  Pick good people and trust in their skills and instincts and you can’t go wrong.

Yesterday we had our old friend, and Pronto alum Erik Paparazzi swing by and play some excellent guitar on two songs, “Stupid Angels” and “Biz Dev.”  Nice.

It’s surprising to me how difficult it is to articulate just how excited and pleased I am with the goings-on of the past week.  In six short days we’ve produced a considerable amount of material that requires further consideration and microscopic evaluation.  I can’t wait to get it going and finish this thing by the Fall of 2010.

Thanks for stopping by.
