21st March 2012

It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm feeling a tad nostalgic and just a little bit blue. Still, it's beautiful weather and, as weather maketh the mood, provided there isn't a howling gale (complete with thunder and lightning) sneaking up the channel, all will be well. Hmm. ;)

Loadsa stuff sorted out today. Painted the back wall of the studio with Kamakura Green - which is our approximation of chromakey green for video. Then we took a set of pictures for the station montage, which is going to be one of our gig posters. Back home and I realise that there's more work than I thought to lop us out of the background, though the green did help. Sorry if it sounds like I'm rambling. I'm g-nackered, so probably am. Still, never mind, eh! :)

News! I like starting a blog entry like that because it makes the reader (that's you, in case you hadn't realised) sit up. So, are you sitting up? Good. Then I'll begin.

We now have a Drummer, in the shape of Nick Ward and we have a Bass player who goes by the monicker of Martin Haslam. And damn good they are, too. We've been rehearsing like bunnies on heat - erm, without the bunny sex, of course - and.... Okay, scrap the bunnies on heat thing. It's a little yicky and, as the band doen't include women, you might get the wrong idea. We wouldn't want that. Unless, of course, you'll be purchasing a copy of 'Dealing with Liquids' in which case feel free to imagine us rehearsing as you want! Blimey, I should be writing advertising copy!

We do sound good, though. In the near future I'll upload some snippets for you to listen to.

The set is taking shape. We've now got eighteen songs and want twenty before we start gigging. We've plenty of material, it's a question of deciding what to perform.

I can't express how happy I am when we play. The sound is raw, live and vibrant. Like juggling a bucket full of eels. W00T!

Okay, so I'll admit that this isn't a proper blog - yet. I'm going to insert a wordpress blog here, shortly, and then it will be. It'll also be a hell of a lot easier to update for Mick and Mark and all. I say 'and all' because we'll soon have a bass player and a drummer on board. And we'll all be blogging like crazy. Or be driven crazy by blogging. One of the two.

Umm. Yes. This blogging thing is difficult.

Nick's given you most of the news. That's Nick C not Nick W. It's a pain having two people with the same name. It makes you think, and thinking takes energy: I like to expend my energy tinkling the ivories rather than thinking which Nick is Nick. Of course they could change their names by deed-poll, but then they'd both be called Cedric and we'd be no better off. Besides, they don't have a problem with it, and it's rather amusing watching them answering questions in unison.

Now I must go. No idea where to, but I've heard that's what you say at the end of a blog entry. Tatti bye!

Most of 2011

Mick's been thinking what he should say. This, like all good things, takes time. For a bloke like Mick time is irrelevant. It's the art he's chasing ... the art of the word ... the art of the blogger. Ooops. He's found 'blogger' in the dictionary and now I'm getting 'the look.' No! I'm withering away. Nooooooooo.... ;)
