Name: My Eyes Are Made Of Babies by Nick Krassowski
Duration: 2 min 53 s
Description: "My Eyes Are Made of Babies" is a song I wrote in 2010 while still in college. I performed it live and acoustically many times both alone and with my Hot Dog Fever bandmate Justin Perro. I always heard it in my head with drums and other instruments other than guitar, so here it is — the version I heard in my head while playing it all those years ago. Enjoy.

Fun Fun Fun (and Cute)

I recorded all of The Strokes' album 'Is this It' in one take. Not perfect obviously, and I left a bunch of mistakes in, but that's fine. I think it definitely turned out better than dookie though. 

Drums were tracked and mixed mono the same way I did one the song 'Is This It' a few weeks ago (kick, snare top, snare bottom, one overhead, and a room mic). Bass just straight in with a DI and then through a waves plugin amp. 

Guitars were done through a DI with waves plugin amps as well, but also tracked through Ian's crate, mic'd with a 57. (Thanks to Ian for also being my tab page turner while recording guitars)

The vocal track was done with my shitty Sony F96 and went through different waves plugin amps for different songs.

The entire album was mixed on board. Only kick, snare, and vocal tracks used minimal compression, and all tracks used on board EQ.

Here's the breakdown of the songs:

0:00 Is This It
2:34 Modern Age
6:08 Soma
8:44 Barely Legal
12:40 Someday
15:45 Alone, Together
19:00 Last Nite
22:16 Hard To Explain
26:04 New York City Cops
29:43 Trying Your Luck
33:11 Take It Or Leave It
