FROM THE STUDIO: Sort of a slow day. My dog George is sleeping on my lap. We are tracking electric guitars. I am so happy with how it is all going. I am really liking how it’s turning out. I’m pretty satisfied with my lyrics now. One of my goals, remember, was to make pop music more lyric-driven and have some fun with that. It feels raw and really cool, even though it's more techno than any of my other work. I was worried at first, cause all our demos were done on computers, so they all sounded too electronic, but now that we have live drums, and live bass and acoustic guitars, and yes, even a whistling solo (performed by yours truly), it sounds much more organic, while still maintaining its fruity bouquet. 2003 will be an excellent year, with nice legs, and rich, nutty undertones. Jeeez. Anyway, it's going fast and I’m happy so far. XOXO, Jewel
