Looks like the weather might actually cooperate with Thee Nosebleeds' plan to have their self-titled debut album mixed tomorrow night by Mike Bardzik at Second Story Sound Studios in the warehouse district of lovely West Chester, Pa. Mike will pick me up at around 6 pm and we'll meet the band in the studio's parking lot. This is how we did it for the tracking session a couple Saturdays ago. I know Kit, Kevin and Zach quite well -- they are my bandmates in Headflap. Kit, Kevin, Mike and I go back further than that. Zach is over 10 years younger than we four are, hovering around and leaving our mid- thirties. Me leading the way. Funny thing about me leading any group of individuals is I am legally blind and have done less what you might call living than the average American 19 year old.

The tracking session was a blast to be present at and participate in. For this project, I am just the executive producer, the main money man; this is the first HiH release other than my own bands' albums, for which the label paid to record it and we are not certain if this will happen again; my creative input was minute -- I had intended it to be nil. But hey put me in front of a microphone even if all you want me to do is participate in a group chant, and my nonconformist genes will find a way to bark out a commentary against male mob mentality during the fadeout.
I wonder if Mike's gonna apply a fadeout at the end of this record?

I think there is no more fitting a release to kick off the HumaninHuman blog than catalog number hi022DSd, Kermit Lyman's latest masterpiece, Thee Nosebleeds by Thee Nosebleeds.
