tommy, what the fuck is up man.

For me, Jack Daniels is just boozin' liquor, it's ok but it ain't particularly for the savouring. It's not exactly a 15 year old single malt, if you know what I mean. If it was that shit hot, you wouldn't mix it with coke. And as for gin, it's rank unless you mix it too. So no, it doesn't offend me - if it was Talisker and lemonade in a can, that would be a different matter....

I shouldn't be at work today.

Cold medication making me go crazy.

You could get JD and Coke in a can in bars in Leeds (and I guess elsewhere) for a while; I tried one and it was horrible. I couldn't understand why the Jack Daniels Company could't get together with the Coca-Cola company so there would be some decent cola in that can. It was definitely the Coke that let it down. As Simmo said, it's not the most serious case of contamination ever but still, you're not going to ask for a Jack Daniels and Panda Pop are you?

One particularly depressing Friday late last year I bought a four pack of Gin and Tonic in cans and drank two of them on my lunchbreak. They were warm. It wasn't a good idea.

I hate being this much of a snob but if you liked spirits wouldn't you have the savvy to know that it probably shouldn't sit in a can with some dodgy cola for months on end?

This has seriously confused me.

You are not confused. All I see is a waste of whiskey. Ya may as well drink a malt liquor.

I remember that. I think you posted about it on the forums.

The JD & Coke in a can was one of the best method of getting wasted when I was young. Cheap!

But it was way cheap, strong and gave you a massive sugar rush at the same time. This is before the days of Red Bull of course. Did I mention this stuff was cheap?

Taste has nothing to do with it.

Today at 2pm a large pack of lumber, rockwool batts, sound insulated glass and plywood arrives at my studio.

The coming three day weekend will be spent building sound traps, installing a window between the control room and the drum room and building a drum platform.

I don't mind telling you that I am a bit nervous about how much I have taken on, since a large part of my labor force is musicians who also know how to swing a hammer, and they always seem to find something else to do at the last minute.

I am also anxiously awaiting the news on my Focusrite mic pres which went into the shop a week ago with a bad channel.

In other news, I have found a Soundcraft Ghost 24 in a second hand music store. They're only asking about $1450 for it. I bet I could get it talked down to $1200. Eventually, I could send it off to get the superwhammy put on it by these guys. How to get a world class board on the installment plan...

I had a peanut butter cookie for breakfast.

Ringo.

This is an awesome undertaking. You've probably mentioned it before but are you doing this in a garage? A basement? An honest-to-goodness pre-built building?

My garage has been earmarked for a similar project for far too long.

I'd be in favor of a whole thread dedicated to this project. If only for those of us who would like to do the same thing.

Sweet.
