Walked early and went to the pool. Then Carey Ott came over and we wrote a cool song. He’s great, he played me a new song from his myspace called “Sparkling Cyanide” that he just wrote. We wrote an awesome song that I want to do with The Silver Seas called “Never Gonna Walk Those Streets” and it has electric guitar on it. We went to Chinatown restaurant and wrote the lyrics. I think the verses sound a bit like Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, which was a big early influence for me. Went back to the pool, then to Marc Pisapia’s studio in East Nashville: “The Archie Bunker” and we made a quick demo of “Never Gonna Walk Those Streets” and he got this really reverb-y sort of My Morning Jacket-ish vocal sound. Then to Joe P’s new pad over there, and man, he has a great spot. Lots of land and a huge sort of barn thing in the back he’s going to put a studio in. Home about 1 and w.r.t.s.
