When it came time to record “Ten Years Down the Road” for Beneath a Balcony, J and I were desperate to get an authentic live feel. We eventually chose the live-in-the-studio track that appears on the album, but prior to that approach, we tried an experiment. Using special stereo “aural” mic’s that simulate human ears, J recorded me playing “Ten Years” live at a show at the Mint in early 2009. The sounds of him driving, exiting his car, crossing Pico Boulevard and walking into the venue are all part of the experience.
