We've told you John is the keeper of the big beat - here he proves it laying down the foundation for "millsboro".  "We want a big industrial type of sound - kind of like you're in the factory..."  Rami had this old 1920's marching bass drum that worked out pretty awesome for the part.

Important rule for productive time in the studio: you are going to be munching the whole time - make it good food and you won't crash.  Veggies are important!  Note:  Kim made some of the best sandwiches I've ever had - here you can see there's almost one left in the tuperware container.  This is before I finished them off.  Yes, I ate the last two pieces!

Must be something interesting in that corner.

John does a take surronded by a forest of danelectros and Tracy's Ric.  Who needs big studio?  We have a kitchen!

Yes, they were all used - and then some.  If anyone has a Kalamazoo mandolin they want to get rid of - let me know - I'm scared mine is going to fall apart.

In between takes, Tracy likes to relax and work on her knitting.  Now that's a rock star!

The key to The Fallen Stars success?  Broccoli!

Yes, Broccoli. 

This is what "outlaws & angels" looks like on protools.
