Blog Update: Ray

Some in-studio pics

Hey all! Hope everyone is good. Quick update on the happenings here in MCR land.

We're almost done tracking the record, and then moving on to mixing. This process has been really different and enlightening. When we went to Tokyo for the Summersonic shows, we came back recharged and remotivated, wanting to better what we had done before we left. What resulted was us writing some of our best songs on the record. Lesson learned? Sometimes you have to step back to get to the real heart of things...

Photo-shoot today, and damn't none of my old clothes fit! Either time to go shopping, or time to hit a gym. Neither are choices I like...

Mine and Christa's dog Bauer, who I posted a picture of a few weeks ago, has been diagnosed with CRF - chronic renal failure - which is insane for a dog his age. He's three, and very sick. Unfortunately, its something that you wouldn't pick up on until its too late. We decided to bring him back home to Jersey where he can run in the grass and play, and luckily that seems to be making him feel better. The doctors out here are surprised at how well he looks considering the severity of his condition. He's a tough little guy.

Putting some pictures up from in studio. Enjoy!

















Mod note: Ray posted these in two posts, but the second post was just pictures, so I've combined them.

I know right. After I (kind of) finished squeeing over Bob, I started to appreciate the artistic value of the Frank and Mikey's pictures. The focus on Frank's hand is awesome, as it is on Mikey's face.

Of all the variations of photography, working with focus/off focus is my favorite technique.

I agree.

Am I the only person that doesn't think Mikey looks different? All the comments on the site say stuff along the lines of Mikey looking so different. He looks exactly as I expected, gorgeous in every way. I gotta say I am also super excited about the new ablum almost being ready to mix. By the by, got my life on the murder scene 2 days ago haven't been able to watch the whole thing yet considering the dvd drive on the comp don't work and I have to censor the TV for the little one, don't want him walking around saying fuck. Also where be my black parade is dead? MMM, pictures!
