Howdy all you nutcases! Back in full effect, The Daily Farmer is here to please. Again, its been a little while since I actually have had some time to sit on my fat ass and type up a little something for all of you. Post production is going a little slowly since my producer is very busy working on several other projects. It's all good though, I can be very patient with things like this. We should be done fairly soon. This process sort of had a bit of a false start. The first mix of the single "Infatuation" came out ok, so I sent it to a friend or two. But upon listening to it about a thousand times, and with some input from a friend who is also in a ska band and from another friend who I will mention later, we are going to tinker with it until we hit that sweet spot of a sound. Yes, we are being anal, but we want this to sound absolutely badass... Well, as for real life...
Work is becoming increasingly annoying. I have been stuck working with the same three people for the last 7 shifts or so. I would just like to say, I would enjoy a change. I shall leave it at that, (at the risk that they might somehow see this). But, Im just having a blast after work. About two weeks ago, a familiar face walked into my shop. It was none other than Ms. Melanie from the my old days in middle school. I hadn't seen her in about seven years, so it was a totally cool little reunion. I really cannot describe her... she has to be met to be understood. She is a singer/dancer/actress/classic overacheiver, so of course we get along great. Best part is that she doesn't live at the other end of town like most of my friends do. She lives all of two blocks away. Even better, he best friend Caitlyn is staying with her for the summer, and she has become a bit of a romantic interest. So this is quite cool to say the least.
Well everyone, I am now off to go toy shopping. I am hopefully getting a new guitar amplifier today. A MARSHALL HALFSTACK!! Sweet shit. Linkage coming your way...

Good morning everyone. Imagine this! Two new posts in less than 24 hours! I'm on a roll! I finally got a good nights sleep, and an encouraging phone call from my producer telling me that he wants me to come hear the mix-downs for the record tonight. Friggin awesome, I cannot wait. By the way, if you want a copy of the 3 track, just e-mail me and I will work something out with you. Well, I just wanted to post to say I have cleaned things up around the site a little. The links to your left have been updated as you can see. Go check them out if you have not yet done so. Time for this little Farmer to get ready for his day. Peace...

Well ladies and gentlemen, the time since my last post has flown by very quickly... Not Lenny is now out of the studio, and in post-production. The yet-to-be-named three track will be completed in a few days. It has been a lot of fun in the studio for the last two and a half weeks. The inside jokes that have been spawned will be a part of NL-lore for years to come. Everything from our lisping at each other from the booth to the studio, our "black" talk, and eating Chips-Ahoy and drinking Coke till all the nights recordings were done. It was a blast, but I am glad I get to rest now. For the next three weeks, Nick and Keagan will be in Europe. But upon the return of the two jazz-nuts, NL will be returning to studio for awhile to do a few more songs. Ahh... the recording process... I think I better stock up on sanity while I can... Apart from the recording, I have just been working my butt off at the shop. I must say, my customers are quite a colorful bunch. From the sterotypical flamer who wears a beret and orders a triple grande, double cupped, no sleeve, nonfat, 3 sweet&low caramel machiatto, to the man who is in a prog rock band which is fronted by a homosexual evangenlical minister who has a Ph.D. in philosiphy AND is a habitual hasheesh smoker. Well, needless to say they keep my work interesting. The people I work with are great too. But it seems each person has their own insecurity or mental issue. Kinda like Empire Records but with coffee. There's the hot chick who think she is ugly, the other hot chick who thinks she is the shit, the masculine Italian, the nut with the big mouth, the soulful Latina gal, the quiet Asian, the dorky white guy, etc.... They are all awesome though. Not a bad one in the bunch. I just wonder where I fit in. What short "one-liner" generalization do I fit under? Hey, you tell me!
Well everyone, I am tired and I am going to go watch a movie and probably fall asleep on the couch. Gotta love summer. Here is your linkage for the day.

Just trust me and go check it out. You probably have seen it before anyways. Funny stuff, got me through those late nights at home after studio when I needed something to relax me before bed... Peace....
