named Mescalito,
and what it symbolizes is him
reaching out into the unknown
and grabbing some fruit,
fruit of knowledge, say,
to nourish his lady love
who is the archetype
called the Great Mother.
Lapdog's just setting up?
Yeah. You guys
remember Mei Pang.
Mei Pang,
what's happening?
Cool.
He's setting up, huh?
Yep.
Yep.
Good thing
I brought a book.
Today, very important.
I'm going to probably
have to do this
seven or eight times
before we even start tracking.
Because, you know, you only
You know?
She represents all women
or the nurturing aspect
of creation,
and so he is going out
and foraging for fruit
to feed creation,
basically,
and that's what
musicians are doing.
They're sort of taking their
craft, their instrument,
and trying to go out
into the visionary space
and bring back
something nourishing
to feed their audience.
Where are we at?
What's going on?
Lapdog is still
setting up the drums.
Still?
All right.
Where's the beer?
They have this really
Uh, huh.
But if your cuttings are a couple of
weeks old, this is what you should use.
That's really going
to give them powerful plants.
Oh, yeah,
that's what I need.
Yeah, we make a few ducats
in the band and all,
but sometimes it's hard
to make ends meet.
Been working with these
hydroponics for some time now
and I got myself
a sweet cash crop in here
going to help me
pay these bills.
All right,
well, here we are.
We've got some nice
Roma tomatoes here.
Don't know if you can
see them or not,
but these are
really good for sauce.
Ah, some nice sweet basil.
That's going to be good
in your pesto.
I grow hydroponic herbs
and vegetables
for high-end restaurants
like Chez Panisse, Danko's,
and Boulevard
and all that stuff.
What we got here is the
Peruvian purple pepper.
See that thing?
Comes from Peru.
I don't Bolivia.
Peru'v it.
Hey, Skip, can you set
that 421 mic
on the second rack
for me, please?
421?
Well, basically my job
is to work with Oz,
who's, like, a master.
Now, the bass drum mic
is a little bit far away.
This D112 down here can be
right up against the head.
Do you even think
you want to use a 112?
Because I wouldn't
use a 112.
What would you suggest?
Something bigger.
Let's just try it.
And if it doesn't work,
we'll change it.
I'm Second Engineer
and fresh out of music school.
This is just a cool
experience for me.
I mean, I know all my stuff,
I've taken good notes in class.
I got, like...
like a B-average and stuff.
I am not going to mess
with your good thing, man,
so you just tell me what to do
and I'll do it.
Okay, that goes
on the hi-hat.
That's the hi-hat
right over there.
Yeah, I know what
the hi-hat is, man.
Let's go with
the snare, please.
Though often
a repetitive process,
recording requires
a Zen-like focus
and open state of being,
where ideas and inspiration
can flow unimpeded,
raising the art to a higher
level of musical transcendence.
Yeah, Oz, yeah.
I'm not really getting
that in the cans.
Hello.
Hey!
How you doin', man?
Good to see you.
Oz, hey.
Oh, hey.
How's it going?
It's good.
Good.
You guys stoked
to be here?
Oh, it's incredible.
Oh, yeah.
It's incredible.
We're stoked to have you.
There's a vibe
that I want to send out,
and I wanted
Like, this is a beehive
and we're making honey.
I've got one thing
to say:
do you guys like
the color platinum?
What do you mean?
Platinum... album.
You know, that's where
the sound's going.
Oh!
Oh, I forgot. This is
Abigail. She's a photographer.
I just want you guys
to know,
I am just going to be
a fly on the wall here.
I don't want you
to think that...
I'm not going to get
in your way.
Hey, Oz,
what have we got?
I'm just finishing
with the floor toms sound now,
and then I'll check
the cymbals.
So we basically just have
some tones on the bass drum.
Is this on the track,
the recorded track?
No, we haven't actually
recorded anything yet, Drew.
We've just been working
on sounds.
Just drum sounds?
Just drum sounds, yeah.
So- So here it is guys,
the first note
of the first song
of the first
Electric Apricot record.
What do you think
about that?
All right.
Cut! Sorry, sorry,
sorry, sorry.
Sorry, l-
I hit the wrong tom.
All right, ready?
Are we rolling.
Okay, here we go.
Share fishin'...
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Share what?
I meant to say vision,
and I said, fishin'.
Is everything cool?
Yeah, I'm good, man. We're just-
All right.
It just seemed like
we got off on a rough...
Hey, Oz, what number
is the bass in?
Your amp is just incredibly
loud. It's killing me.
You guys okay?
We need to turn the
bass amp down a bit.
Down?
It's probably bleeding through
all the drums, right, Oz?
Pardon me?
It's probably bleeding
through all the drums, right?
I mean, it just seems really loud.
Yeah.
My favorite book store,
Copperfields.
A lot of people don't know
about poetry is,
that is so beautiful
is really not the words on the
page, but it's how you read it.
It's how... You...
You use your poetry voice.
But through presumption,
even the pleasure pleased.
Unworthy, disliking here
and there.
Liking by the rules of mimic
are transformed.
You know,
that's the poetry voice,
and it takes you
to the poetry space.
Everything is poetry.
Vegetarian Suppers.
Take any part of any book.
We like pancakes
not only for breakfast,
but for supper to occasion.
Pillowy and light,
these golden cakes
are delicious.
With dabs of sour cream
and a favorite
of our cuisine.
Day three in the studio.
We have yet to actually
record an actual track.
But I came back in here today,
I burned some sage.
I do want to try
and move my set-up
so that I feel more
in tune with the band.
I want to rotate this just
a little bit clockwise, okay?
Just this way?
Yeah, just a little bit.
Okay, on the count of three?
You got a good...
Yeah, can you get a hand?
Yeah, I got it.
One, two, three.
Oh! Ow!
Jesus Christ!
Oh, oh.
Oh, my God!
Holy sh*t, dude!
Oh...
Dude.
Hershel, he cut his hand
on a loose screw on his organ.
Just a freak accident.
But, uh, the good news is
he got his tetanus shot
and he's
in good spirits again.
And, uh... onward and upward.
It hurts.
It definitely hurts.
Hey, I'm goin'
to Burning Man
Hey, I'm goin'
to Burning Man
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning Man?
Well, we made it.
Sweet.
I don't know-
Do you want a water
or towel or something?
Seemed like the bass
was a little behind
some of the stuff
I was doing there.
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning Man?
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning Man?
Hey, are you goin'
to...
Hey, are you goin'
to Burning Man?
Hey, are you goin'?
Yeah.
Well, we made it.
Did you- Did you see

the bass was, like, a
