AM/FM DEMOS – BRIDGE BURNER

| Brian


Just as Franklin was ending in 1999, I borrowed a broken Tascam 4-track from Atom. Because it was broken, it was technically a 3-track. He had gotten it from Mark Scott, I believe, but I really can’t remember. Atom had no use for it as he was pretty much invested in the sequencer universe so he let me borrow it/have it.

Since Franklin wasn’t practicing all that much and after recording what would be our last record, it just sort of made sense to begin recording music at home; something I had never done. Franklin had always written songs as a group during our practices so the idea of actually writing a complete piece of music on my own was never something that I did. However, once I started, I realized quickly what a cool thing a musical sketch pad could be.

Bridge Burner is one of those songs that never made it to a record. So, in all it’s demo monstrosity is the AM/FM song, Bridge Burner.

AM/FM – IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER (A SOLDIER’S LAMENT)

| Brian

A few years ago, Beth Blofson suggested to Mike and me that if we ever recorded cover versions of Christmas carols (something Mike and I would always discuss doing) that we should seriously consider one of her favorites, In The Bleak Midwinter.

Neither of us were familiar with the song but considering Beth was a person we always looked to for advice and more importantly, approval on new songs we had recorded, her suggestion required investigation. You can learn all about the hymn over here.

We ended up in Lenola’s basement recording a live version of the song. Dave Grubb engineered while Mike and Sean Byrne from Lenola played drums, Jay Laughlin and I played guitars and Scott Amore played keys. I tracked the vocals later at home and added some sub-bass to the end verse.

RANDOM CHILDREN – NURSERY SCHOOL 7″

| Brian


After we had recorded the 4 and 3 is 7″, we quickly realized it wasn’t all that great on the sonic front of things. I still remember getting the test press back and thinking, “Jesus the vocals are loud”. It’s funny to remember how clueless we were back then about anything having to do with recording or pressing a record. I’m convinced I thought that the plant that would cut the record would, “fix” the vocals and send us back a perfect sounding 7″ record. Duh.

Nonetheless, I don’t remember a single person saying to any of us, “My god man, this 7″ is horrid! The mix is unlistenable and the songs themselves are juvenile at best!” Thus, we carried on!

We continued to play shows around Philly and we might have even played a show or two outside of Philadelphia. When it did come time to record another 7″, we finally figured out that we should probably do it in a “real” studio. The real studio we discovered was run by a fella named, Jim Femino.

I had met Jim a few months prior to recording with him because, at the time I was finishing up becoming an Eagle Scout of all things, and part of that process was to intern at a place of business that interested you. Recording music seemed like a logical choice. So once the internship was over, and because none of us really knew any other recording studios or how one might even find one, we went to Jim’s.

Jim’s claim to fame (other than running a studio out of his basement in Royersford, Pennsylvania) was that he was a founding member of the band, Boston. While, I don’t think Jim ever made it onto any of the records, he swears by this fact and we didn’t really care one way or the other.

We recorded these four songs over a couple of days and at the end of it, spent what was to us, an obscene amount of money. I believe it was close to $1000. While still not a great recording, it at least sounded more like a band that recorded in a place that had a lot of things that light up and flash, and that was better than nothing. Jim still seems to be doing stuff with music.
