As has become our custom, Zen Fuse Box and the Daughters of Zen convened at MPQ Studios for the MLK holiday weekend!  Much food and beer were consumed, and we even got some stuff recorded!  

On the recording front, we finalized some overdubs on a few tracks slated for our next album of original material, including Red Lights and Bigfoot O' Bigfoot.  We also started recording what is likely the last track to be added to our next album, a piece that Steve conceived entitled 1-2-3, a one-chord epic in three distinct parts.  On each of our albums starting with Dogs in Helicopters, we've had a track that was based off just a single chord.  Those prior tunes are Yesterday Always Knows (in F#), Ultramodern Ninja (in F), The Text (in E), and Cold Rain and Snow (in E-flat). Since we are progressing in descending chromatic order, as we are prone to do, 1-2-3 is based solely on the humble D chord.

But enough about that. Much more importantly was our visit to Mama Duck, a display in downtown Clearwater, Florida, where we came face-to-beak with a 60-foot-tall inflatable duck which was, in a word, humbling.
