Yesterday as part of the “Live at Lime” series produced by the LimeWire store, our Geoff Sanoff recorded and mixed a live 5 song session by the Soundtrack of Our Lives at Stratosphere Sound. It was a whirlwind session with the band only in the studio for 3 hours – there wasn’t even time to take a proper photo. Below is the best one of the bunch.

Geoff Sanoff in the studio with Asian Kung Fu Generation
This popped up on my Google Alerts today. I have no idea what it means, but I assume it has something to do with the fact that Geoff Sanoff (former member of Edsel) is in Stratosphere Sound for the next week or so recording & mixing Asian Kung Fu Generation. They are HUGE in Japan.
UPDATE: Apparently it just means “Geoff Sanoff. Used to be the bass player in Edsel.” But it still looks cool, so we’ll take it.
