Recording "She's the Darkness"

Got Boots done and now I'm on to She's the Darkness.

A little (tiny) history:

Andy made a beat around samples from the Fleetwood Mac song, Rhiannon. He made one version, and then another. I liked the 2nd one. Damn this song's old.

And has been a real bastard to record. I've done 2-3 passes on it and none of them seem to strike the right vibe. It's an issue of capturing the spirit of the live performance in a bottle. And I think I may have done that.

Or I thought so yesterday when recording it. Upon today's listen, we shall see. If I deem it worthy, I'm recording thy overdubs.

Next week: Will he survive the heat? How long can he record in an all black room? Will our heroes be reduced to nothing? Stay tuned.
