The Twenty-Four Hour Album http://www.24houralbum.com/ en-us ℗ & © 2009 by Andrew Halladay & The Twenty-Four Hour Band 40 One Album Conceived, Rehearsed and Recorded within 24 hours Sat, 5 Jan 2008 01:30:04 MST The Twenty-Four Hour Album The Twenty-Four Hour Album is a musical project since 2001. The concept was to write, rehearse, and record an album's worth of material in a 24 hour period. It has been an annual event with participation from many Denver local and visiting musicians for nearly a decade now. With styles including electroclash, country, pop, rock, hiphop, techno, and particularly the collage of styles that makes the album particularly unclassifiable, the Twenty-Four Hour Album has been an exciting experiment for musicians, both professional and amateur.

Jamie had called Uncle Pat earlier in the day to get a recording of his honest voice. Uncle Pat phoned this little proverb in from his home in New Mexico.

I'm not sure I knew what I was doing at the time, so forgive my hazy recollection. Anyhow, after "Breakin' Up Full Time" wrapped up, there was a slow shift in the energy. Ukulele Loki reassumed his titular role by laying out a riff on his Uke, all while playing his keyboard will the pegs of his Uke to make a bassline. Jesse and Jamie apparently had run off to conjure up some new lyrics for yet another legendary tale about a hardened criminal. Not just any criminal, but an intergalactic space fugitive.

Breakin' Up Full Time Track 13 of the 2008 album Ukulele Loki and Davis took the lead for this late night number. After getting a solid jam together with Davis' foot stompin' riff and Loki's wonky interjections, the two put together a little story about trials and tribulations over a breakup–what I assumed was based on an inside joke. Jesse added her own layer to the story–the female perspective in the scenario with her own, more conclusive agenda to the breakup.

First-timer, Jesse, glued the twangs, tweets, twirls and twitters together with her steady declamations about work frustration–a topic no one could be foreign to.
