Gushy happy toddler style post here.
It's just so much fun! The last two weeks I've been tracking guitars for my band's second album. We've got a band practice room that I've kicked the other guys out of and set up as my personal recording den with a Vox, Marshall, Mesa and Orange. After our last gig a couple of weeks ago I tore up my pedalboard and I've been having a ball trying out different combinations of guitars, pedals and amps. Experimenting with mic techniques, and just generally treating the Drum/ Bass/ Vocal tracks as a blank canvas to throw guitars onto.
It's been awesome. At the weekend I'm going touch up a bunch of stuff, then it's over and I'm going to have to go back to spending my evenings and weekends in the real world, which'll suck. (for a week at least, then back to do backing vocals, synths etc then endless mixing.)

Was fun experimenting with different drum mic techniques - I found that I like "underheads" out in front of the kit more than overheads. The studio had a decent mic collection too so I got to try C414s on the toms and a U87 out front of the kick + as a mono overhead.

Clippies on soundcloud, hope this link works. Just various guitar tracks solo'd from the unmixed session files.
