Today I recorded some amazing Hindu religious meditational hymns (?) sung in Sanskrit. The artist is Rucha Scheth from India. The tracks were cut in Bombay last month. The bonsari flute (bamboo), and sitar, were unmistakable as the REAL schiznit, played by the REAL cats in India. One piece was a 28 minute, 08 second song which in which the singers sing the 1006 names of Shiva. I was really amazed.

Tomorrow it's off to Austin to brainstorm & perhaps songwrite with Sarah Sharp, Buffalo Speedway (her guitarist), and Kevin Ryan. Kevin and I plan to work on Courtney Power's stuff on the way up, and listen to all of the Aimee Mann tracks that we have been talking about.

The scene around SugarHill today was pathetic as all of the engineers and interns limped around in a totally dazed mode after yesterdays' paintball fun.
