Sir Mix-A-Lot (More)

I’m back at Moonlight Studios tonight putting the final touches on The Swagger Sticks new CD. We’re making some final tweaks, cleaning up some vocal tracks in ProTools, and then this bitch is in the can! The atmosphere is totally relaxed. We’re in the home stretch and everyone knows it.

OMG! I Went to the Britney Spears Concert!
