:: Recone Helmut's Studio Log ::

:: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 ::

Recone Helmut and long lost yellowish brother Pete Miser have been busy little beavers since the last post. Please read on for the latest haps and updates:

1 - The lead single from the upcoming pH10 record ‘Helmutvision’ is killin’ it on the college/indy charts. Twenty Two US and Canadian stations are charting the single and several others are playing it on specialty shows. The chances are good that a local station has the disk so don’t forget to make those requests. Buy it here.

2 - Speaking of college radio, Recone Helmut and Dr. Tucson are doing a Colorado radio junket this coming weekend. Listen to Radio 1190 at 9pm Thursday night (thanksgiving evening) and KBFR on Friday night at 10pm. Both of these shows will include interviews, giveaways and some preview mixes of brand new tracks. For those of you knocking around the Auraria Campus in Denver, we’ll be doing a special appearance on Met Radio with our old friend John Gross on Saturday from 5 to 7pm. Come by the station and have a beer with us. Also, KGNU is recording a show with Helmut and Tucson to air next Saturday (Dec. 6th) between 9 and 11pm on their Electronic Air show.

3 - Progress on the new pH10 full length is grinding along. Eight of eleven tracks are in some stage of completion and the whole project should wrap up by March of 2004. Pete Miser will appear on 4 big songs and the chemistry between R.H. and P.M. has become a bit of a phe-nom-e-non. Cover art will be provided by Brian Romero – of Needless to Say fame.

4 - The new pH10 online headquarters is FINALLY getting close. I hope to go live with the new web site by the second week of December. It’s a clean and simple design with just enough flair to look fly. I’ll drop a quick note on the list once its off the ground.

5 - Last but not least, the entire pH10 catalog is finally available online at cdstreet.com. We have everything from the original 4 song demo to the latest single. Supplies are limited!

Working on yet another track with Pete. Looks like there will be 4 total Pete Miser/Recone Helmut tracks on the new pH10 record. Everytime I write a track for someone (Ish, Dr. Israel, Soothsayer) they end up blowing it off and Pete grabs it. Rather than being a record full of talented MCs that happen to be my friends, it'll be a record full of one talented MC that I never met before. I am learning a lot working with Pete too... so that's cool.

Also, my main sampler shit the bed this past weekend. I have to bring it to the EMU service place this week. Shouldn't put me too far behind schedule.

I am taking off the first two weeks of 2004 to take a trip upstate for some mixing. Just trying to get as many tracks as possible done by then. After that, the record should be about 75% done. Jesus I am slow!

Work still sucks but my attitude is better about the whole thing.... not letting it bother me as much.
