This blog is part 12 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 11. The next day passed without anything arriving to my inbox. On Sunday morning, October 26th, I was working away at my computer when it came through. It was labeled incorrectly. It was also labeled as a master. I found this odd also. For starters I know I … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 12 – The Mix
This blog is part 11 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 10. It was a little while again before I heard back from the producer about scheduling the vocal workshop. I reached out a couple times and then finally he responded and had changed his tune about it again. We were no longer going to do the vocal workshop … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 11 – The Fifth Session
This blog is part of an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 9. With my Gibson, Marshall Amp and Bass in tow, the next day I made my way to the session.

They needed to … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 10 – The Workshop
This blog is part 9 in an ongoing series. If you missed it, jump back to part 8 now. My next session was scheduled for September 11th which was good because I had a bit of homework.

Again, a pretty simple song, so a pretty … Continue reading Series: Am I Being Scammed By… My Music Producer? Part 9 – The Fourth Session

It’s been a minute since I released any new Jaimee Eat World, but I’m back with a very different approach to “Movielike”. Listen to Jimmy Eat World’s original recording here: Now, check out mine: It’s probably one of the more underrated albums in the bands catalogue, or at least it seems to be one that doesn’t get a ton of attention but it ranks pretty … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: Movielike
We’re taking some risks this year with our upcoming cover song releases starting with an ominous and somewhat creepy “In The Same Room” that had us experimenting with synth pads, weird string instruments and peculiar vocal effects. I’m really not a keys player (I literally have to google chord shapes every time I’m about to try something on these recordings) but I have to say … Continue reading Jaimee Eat World Release: In The Same Room
