Well I guess I have been busy all these years. The new discography page is posted. It was quite a trip down memory lane as I tried to assemble details about the albums I’ve participated in making over the last 15 years or so. I was surprised at the final tally – I’m glad that […]

Out with the old?
I’ve been trying to clean up the studio (you know, to make room for new gear, heh heh). In the process I’ve come across a couple boxes of unsold Foonspeeders and drunkdude69 CDs. Foonspeeders was a band that Mike, his brother Maury, our friend Scott Haumesser and I were in in the mid-to-late 1990s here […]
Lubricating lyrical gears (part 1)
Hard to believe that we’re already into the second month of 2011. January went by in a snowy blur here on the north coast, but it wasn’t without some musical progress. As mentioned previously, the second Thomas Reed Smith album is finished, and should be back from manufacturing in a matter of weeks. Tom and […]
Out On Your Own
After many years of on-and-off work, the Thomas Reed Smith Band’s album “Out On Your Own” is finished. As I type this, the mastered album is on its way here via the good old U.S. mail. This album is a follow-up to Tom’s first record “I Need A Change” which we released around 2000. Yep, […]

Mixing
It’s been great to get back to working on some music with Tom Smith. He’s motivated and excited about finishing the current set of songs, and that in itself is motivating to me. We got together to start mixing a couple weekends ago. After years of mixing and trying out all kinds of different methods, […]
Tracking Mania
What better time of year to be inside working on some music? While we on the north coast haven’t gotten hammered like Maryland and DC, we’ve gotten our usual dose of cold and snow. Tom Smith has taken the opportunity to use this time to revisit the tracks for his second album tentatively titled “Out […]
Work picks up on Thomas Reed Smith’s next album
We’re excited to return to work on the Thomas Reed Smith follow-up to his first release I Need A Change. It’s definitely been a while since we picked up on the project, but it’s good to know that we’ve got much of the work done as far as tracking and instrumentation. New sessions will be […]
