"So Good"
   by You're A Nation (MP3)

Bass, Vox:Jon Cendrowski(Revolutionary Politics of a Danceparty)
 "I felt a little more relaxed being a veteran now. I knew how to allot my time and because of that felt like I was able to be part of a song a little more complex than my first time. This was my first time writing lyrics though, which I've never been much of a writer... but it seemed just throwing any idea out there usually segued into an actual idea to be penned to paper. Overall, i was very pleased with the whole song this time.. it was also very good we practiced the call and response bc if we tried doing that in the booth, we would have been fucked."

Keyboard, Vox:Aaron Diehl(Lightning Love)
 "I had a lot of fun. I think our song turned out alright. I tried to just not take it seriously and have fun. I like how our song was about me having to take a piss. Pretty good times, I should try to get more drunk at the next party and not fall asleep like a bitch."

Drums:Mark Dawson(Birdgang)
 "First time (spontaneous) participant here, Dirty D. I was merely stopping by on my way home to pack for a trip, somehow I got roped into being in a band on the spot. Although my lack of planning prevented me from helping with vocal duties which took place later, I believe my rushed schedule lent itself to the spontaneity of the session. It was great fun, and an excellent way to meet possible future collaborators and/or band mates."

Guitar, Vox:Dave Lawson(The Pop Project)
 "This was my second time hosting an instant album party, and it was much more enjoyable than last time, when I spent the day running up and down stairs on three hours of sleep. This time I made sure to go to bed early, eat my Wheaties and solicit help from others for engineering bands. Zach and Will came through in that department, and it allowed me to be in a band of my own with relatively few interruptions.

My band was all people I had known for a while but never played music with, so that was both fresh and awkward. The first ten minutes were the scariest, as we tried out ideas and none of them stuck. We started by asking, "Do we want to rock or groove?" Aaron was vocal about his need to rock, and our first couple ideas were "too groovy" (something you never would have heard Simon and Garfunkel complain about). The song we ended up with doesn't rock at all, but everyone seemed to like it enough.

With about five minutes left in our hour of tracking, Aaron's face began to turn a different color and he mentioned that his bladder was about to burst. He held it out though, and we got the song recorded in time. Later on, as we started writing the lyrics, I asked Aaron how he felt now that he'd lost all that water weight. This turned into a discussion about that woman who died trying to "hold her wee for a Wii." Next thing we knew, we had written a song about Aaron's experience. Artists at work."
