Tim Dowling: it's time to name our band's new album, and there are no bad ideas (in theory at least)
Briefly

In a studio, three band members listen to their recorded music, focusing on correcting mistakes. Issues include out-of-tune backing vocals and a mistimed bass. The guitarist suggests potential album titles, while the engineer proposes edits to avoid redoing parts. A song requires additional instrumentation, leading to a conversation about adding a harmonium. Despite previous failed attempts at using the instrument, they decide to try it again. The first attempt is unsuccessful due to forgetting the song's key, causing laughter among the team.
The first take is a disaster. I forget what key the song is in. I can see everyone laughing through the glass.
I recall trying to play this instrument once before, years ago. I also recall we didn't use any of it, because it sounded terrible.
Don't ask me to explain my thinking, I say, handing it back. There are no bad ideas at this stage, he says.
I can probably edit it. As always, I prefer solutions that don't involve me doing anything, I say.
