EVEN MORE SNOW

25 February 2010

Snow seems to be a running theme this winter. I was thinking late last year how I had seen far more snow as a child than I have in recent times, so it’s nice to finally get some. I spoke to Nora on the phone and she said that alot of the snow in Berlin had begun to melt. She was saying how she hadn’t seen so much dogshit on the streets in here life.  She said it smells rank  . Dog shit is a massive problem in Berlin. People don’t want to pick it up. I wouldn’t want to pick it up either. It’s dogshit! I need to not get started on dogshit…

Anyways more snow. Last day in studio. I am out here because I wrote 2 more songs way past the 12th hour. I am swapping them out with two on the record. The two in question were incongruous with the rest of the album. The 2 new songs are called “Shadow Boxing” and “Anything”. I have one more vocal to do. Wish me luck.

    Well we’re finally getting snow in Toronto now! If it keeps up, my little girl may get to make her snowman this year :)

    I guess you’re getting the same weather front in New York, I long for some warmer air and sunshine….

    Have fun, keep on ‘wreckording’ can’t wait to hear the finished product :)

    Hope the recording went well – this is a special project and it should feel just right to you.

  18. hugo says:

    so what is going to happen with those two that will not make it to the record? b sides maybe? i hope we get to listen to them somehow, either with Travis or with your solo project
    Fran Said “Not sure. Bonus tracks probably…”

  19. Alice says:

    Wow, good luck! I remember you said in an interview once that there was one song on every album that was weaker than the others and you wished you’d left it off… so sounds like you’re doing the right thing :) No regrets!

    Good luck, Fran!!

    In Helsinki we’re 20 cm off the official snow record, which was well before I was born. I don’t remember ever seeing as much snow as this year. And the great dogshit debate is waiting for the melting snow, even though there’s a low of cleaning after your dog. I kind of understand that people don’t bother digging for shit in half a meter of snow.

    Am I too late to wish you luck? Good luck anyway. Last year I laughed as my friend who, on her birthday of all days, trod dogshite all over her new carpet. She scolded me and wished it back on me. Next day was my own birthday and, you guessed it. She found it hilarious, I did not. I bet it was the same damn dog.

  22. Patrick says:

    Break a leg Franny! Hope it goes swimmingly…

  23. joss says:

    Good luck! You are fantastic, Fran! :)

  24. Kirstin says:

    Best of luck with the recordings.

    Last year I was bitching about not seeing snow and this year, where I live (Philadelphia area) got more snow in two months than the past five winters and it’s snowing again! So you’re not alone.

    And, no one wants to pick up dog shit, especially when it’s not your own dog’s. That’s just rude for people not to pick it up.

    Good luck, Fran!

    I was listening to 12 Memories this morning while I was getting ready for work and I basically decided you were ahead of your time with the sound. Your music is something I love more everyday. Keep it up!

  26. Kai Ramon says:

    best of luck with those vocals! :)

  27. Betsy says:

    Good luck with the album Fran! My husband picks up all the dog kaka around here. :)

  28. Kelly says:

    Our two feet of snow has just about melted away and my husband said to me this morning, “There’s got to be a LOT of dog shit at the end of the path I dug for the dogs.” Thank God that’s HIS job! ; )

  29. Nika says:

    Oh man, i sooo can’t wait to listen to the album!!><
    Good luck Fran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Btw, the dog (and cat!!) poop problem exists in Russia too. People don't even think about it, it's so normal:D
