So, turns out Skrillex is playing at Harbor Lights tonight. (I guess it’s also called something else now, but out of respect for our vintage gear, I use vintage venue names.)
Anyway, with Tall Joe Tooley overseeing the session in Studio A, Skrillex and a couple of friends worked on tunes till the wee hours. We heard they even tracked some GANG vocals; And they upped the laptop count (those running music software) in Studio A’s control room higher than ever.

Township – When We Were Young EP (BC)
So, Township worked on a full length with Ed and Denzel, but things being what they are, they’re releasing the record as three separate EP’s. Second installment of the batch came out this week, and it’s rocktastic and futuristic. We’ve put it right here, but you should also saunter over to Bandcamp and buy a copy.
Hillary Reynolds Band – Honey, Come Home (Video)
Honey, Come Home is the first song and video to be released from HRB’s upcoming album, The Miles Before Us.
The Hillary Reynolds Band have been very hard at work, with Joe Tooley, in every room in Q Division, recording and mixing beautiful, lush songs. Honey, Come Home features bowed bass, cello, mandolin, acoustic guitar, quiet drums, piano (our baby grand), and Hillary’s beautiful voice (ok, and some lovely harmonies from the dudes too).
Love Love – Murderpedia (Video)
Love Love were back in Studio A over the weekend mixing some tunes with Matt Tahaney. This tune, Murderpedia, is from a previous batch of songs that they cut with Matt and Ed in Studio B. The song takes its name from a website that documents homicides… Cheerful!
Awesome video shot and edited by Paul Janovitz – tons of shots of Studio B, and the Midway Cafe!
Ed Romanoff – Must Have Done Something Right (Video)
This is a great little video in which Ed Romanoff and his dog mull over all the things that could have hindered their friendship. Somehow, the friendship survives.
I drink all your good whiskey, sprawled out on your couch
I pass out watching wrestling, but you never throw me out
I know just being with me would kind of hurt your pride
Lucky for me you don’t care what people say
I talk too much and I laugh too loud
I know you hate it when I leave…
Recorded and mixed by Matt Beaudoin, and produced by Crit Harmon. Must Have Done Something Right is from Ed Romanoff’s eponymous 2012 debut.
