Yeah I've seen Christmas lights in a bunch of studios. And ever since Oasis laid lines of them along the tops of their amps at shows, I've started doing it for my band. Really cool vibe for sure.

I've seen it done plenty...Every studio has a different vibe... A number of years ago I spent a session at a studio (which has since closed) in NYC that was home to Gov't Mule, the Allmans, Phish, etc...It was an old Yiddish theater with a huge disco ball, huge steps like an amphitheater and all sorts of old persian rugs. To top it off, naturally, there were a ton of xmas lights and various "ornamentations". It was interesting to say the least...Lions, The Black Crowes album was done there. Good stuff...If I ever come across the pictures again, I'll post them.
