Today is the day that the band leaves to go to Mississippi to record the album.....

I wish them nothing but the best, and I hope that their time spent there is very productive. Good luck you guys and have a good time.

(and dont let "blow it out" be the single.....)

no kidding..

I doubt that'll be determined in the initial recording sessions.

Swaying a little bit off topic, my favorite story for recording sessions is how Counting Crows rent out a big house in Hollywood, set up there, and live there for a month or two while they record.

well, i wish the band the most luck i've ever wished anyone in my entire life. luck traveling down there, luck with the mississippi life, luck with being away from loved ones...not luck recording, they don't need that. i'm really excited that they're in the studio, though i'll still selfishly miss them playing shows here. and also, have fun, guys.

lots of "big" bands do that, i think [but not necessarily in hollywood].

easy access to the drugs and the hos.

Good luck to all involved. I'm sure it will be marvelous.

I'm sure Mississippi is great for that, too.

I wish the boys all the luck in the world.

Just wanted to let you guys know that they've arrived in Mississippi (all except for Craig, he's still driving).

Does anyone know where they'll be recording in Mississippi? Which town? I'm just curious; I'm not a crazed stalker or anything.

I was actually wondering the same thing TF. I grew up in Vicksburg/Jackson Mississippi and my curiosity is getting the best of me.

Today's prophecy my minions....

Is SARS the first in a long line of super viruses created by the shadow government to control Asian population? Find out on pg 1391.

Which shade of lip gloss tells him you mean business? You can find that in the new issue of Seventeen. The Daiglenetics Publishing Empire does have to expand you know!

thats good......i was hoping that they would get there safely....

Thanks for the update, Smee. I'm very happy to know they got there safely.

Funny, I've always called it Jefferson...

making references so obscure it hurts

If they bump into Radiohead, have them say hi.

Bah! "Blow It Out" is great...what's wrong with it?

Hope they have a productive time in MS!

i would hate for the band to be known simply as "that doot doot doot band".......

That would be far better than being the "God Save Rock n Roll band"

Whatever they pick (aside from "blow it out") , people will love it and I'm almost sure they will not be a one hit wonder.

However, if I had to pick one song for them to be "known" as it would be... uhh wait, haven't we already discussed this 100,000 times already in one form or another?

on second thought... there may be something to this, if by chance they were a one hit wonder or just had one huge song that stood out. I'd like it to be "theres a million ways to sing the blues" that way it's really too long for people to rename the band w/it. And if they tried it just sounds dumb, so yea, I'll shut up for a while....

I'm a day late, but I want to wish The Features good luck in Mississippi. I am (as all of us are, I am sure) anticipating the new material greatly.

Hey now, that's a damn fine song.

i hope the drummer wasn't driving.

your signature made me laugh. is that bad

Hey richarddawson, is that Ann Coulter in your avatar? I can't tell.

I thought it was Heather Locklear.

Geez, and I've thought it was either Britney Spears or Faith Hill. Man, that sure is a plain looking blonde girl...

Further updates:

The storms and the damage in Jackson delayed their arrival by at least 7 hours and they've had some storms to interupt recording this week. They've recorded two songs already and plan to come home for a few days due to the fact that Oxford (which is where they are recording) is going to be very crowded thanks to graduation this weekend. The Features won't have a place to stay for those nights so they're taking an early break and will return early next week. Sounds like things are moving forward as well as can be expected.

Should have a goodie or two to put up on the site next week (yes, another carot).

stupid graduates (*that reside in oxford)...

i speculate that the two songs that they have recorded are "exhibit a" and "your smile." i'm glad things seem to be moving along for them.

hey
i only said it a million times at the red rose show.
apparently i thought that every time i went in to get a beer i would miss a whole song when in reality i was only gone for a minute.

sometimes you said it and you hadn't even left for a while... heh
