Day 3 of the sessions, song number #2 - State Of The Art. I will give the Peacemakers this, the whole real time interactive aspect of Turbo Ocho is brilliant for generating interest.

The second song is recorded. Musically, I really enjoy it - a real authentic Mexican affair. I'm yet to make a judgment lyrically, but that aspect of it hasn't grabbed me yet. But musically it's great, with the Mexican flavor, which unlike similar stuff from No More Beautiful World, doesn't have the cliche and fake thing. It's the first song that has the musical influence from south of the border, that really hits the spot, and is more than just a stupid song to play in Mexico. Particularly the horns and Steve's guitar work sounds great.

One thing I would do different is Steve's distorted rhythm guitar, which really sounds like it's played through a $15 amp. Giving that a warmer tone when they do the final mix would be great.

Watching the videos have been cool, in particular the ridiculous amount that Steve has posted through myspace. From watching them, the next song seems that it's going to be a rocker, which I can say I'm somewhat excited about.
