Actual, factual account, a few hours ago, the project continues.

Setting: Dr Neau’s secret underground recording studio.

Situation: Spike directing Dr Neau to play yet another electric lead track.

Spike: “No, higher”

Dr Neau: “Arg, here?”

Spike: “Higher”

Dr Neau: “Really? Here?”

Spike: “HIGHER”

Dr Neau: “What? Here?”

The most gorgeous, ethereal sound ever produced in a secret underground studio peaks in a crescendo of blissful monitor warping clarity… and then… everything falls dark and silent.

The power is blown out for the entire suburban neighborhood. Children are crying, neighbors are huddled in the street, mumbling in confusion.

Spike: “There!”

Didn’t ask him to put it to 11 did you?

And then we played acoustic standing in the dark for a bit…and Dr. Neau taught himself Kara’s favorite song by listening to it in the memories floating around in his head.

awwwww…..Dr. Neau…..that is tremendous….surely we’ll hear the finished product soon?

It’s sooo awesome that you guys blew the lights out…..hehehehe

Working on a song with Spike is akin to helping your wife hang a picture…up. Left. Down. Right…and its right back where you had it in the first place!!!

Oh really? You know full well I told you that first version was perfect.

“No, no, that’s just a rough first draft, I’m gonna re-do all of those…”

Nice try.

As for the endless changes of the opening, we have to find something to fix my stuff… but don’t worry, I just had another great idea! I’ll send another version!

...and then he shows up to my house in a tie!!!

“Daddy…how come you don’t wear a tie??  Is it because you don’t love us?!?”

“...Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze…”

The waiting is over…

Darn, the my work filter blocks the site!!  I want to see it and hear it!
