Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

After two insanely huge weeks, it was pretty nice to kick back and just relax a little bit. Most of the selections fared pretty well in that department, and made for great ambiance while reading. I love being in the studio, no matter how tired I am. School is really grinding away at Johnny and I (as much as or more so than we're grinding away at it), so it's as good a thing as any, as good friends, to be able to sit still for a fixed two hours every single week and stay caught up - you know, get our feet under us a little bit. So what if it's in the middle of the night?! We do this for the love of the game. Here's the set:
