recording vocals in new york for cheree (3rd session)

I flew out to New York to record the 3rd studio session for the track Cheree , a cover by the group Suicide and a classic. This time in New York we recorded at Stratosphere Studio, owned by James Iha of the Smashing Pumpkins.
This time we worked with Ruddy engineering.
It was an amazing day, we had Aaron Kant laying down some drum parts and Tom Gilroy and myself on the guitar and an amazing vocal take by Michael Stipe.
We recorded his vocals very unconventual using an akg that he held in his hand and recorded it in the control room with the music going in the background on the speakers, but with a little eq'ing, it worked!
Recorded 12/15/07
