OK, so day one of recording finally comes. Considering we wanted to start recording the album in April we havent done too bad. Anyway yeah, so unless we pull out another one from the bag we are recording 22 or 23 songs, roughly half of them we have either recorded before or played live a fair bit. The other half is a complete mystery as they are all new to us, so new that we literally haven't even practised them.
So heres how recording with The Shortcuts went, the photos aren't in any particular order.
Lewis gets about making some Coffees for the guys. He does make a storming cup.
Not content with making coffee he also gives Boris a few pointers on the bass.
This is the second half of the album, and before anyone thinks anything dodgy.. that top song is actually called "Black Kids and White Kids". Ta.f
In recording terms, all the smiley faces are awesome. We are 33 smiley faces through an album that needs 88 smiley faces to be complete.

This is what Lewis' drums look like in computer world.
After tracking 11 songs Lewis has a well earned relax while Boris starts.
Lewis' kit.
A piano, Boris' minging old bass and a random Strat
Other random muso stuff
Keep it DIY innit
This was 11/88 smiley faces
