also appearing on facebook

I’ve decided I will create a facebook page, only because there are still people looking for me and who best know me by this name.

The last.fm continues to receive hits and I’ve even had people over there trying to buy copies of the CD - which is still only available as a download to most people.

I loaded a copy of the old cover art. Its amusing to think that there’s two versions with different covers yet its still really only a demo.

jawdance

I decided to head along to Rich Mix this evening to see the splurge of spoken word represented by JawDance. Of course, I was partly there to support John Challis who was performing and had his name prominently on the flyers along with a select gang of other groovy poets.

Most of the sets were around fifteen minutes and it was altogether a good evening, with some quite personal poetry sets, a few of those ‘oh you, snigger’ moments and in John’s case a quite diverse set of about eight pieces.

An enjoyable Wednesday evening in a good venue.

almost enough for an album

It was good fun to do those new music tracks and its certainly filled a gap in the lack of production for some time.

I’ve really got enough tracks now to be able to create a full album, but I think some will need re-mixing or various pieces of tinkering before they are ready.

I’ll be talking that over with rashbre, but I know how busy he is, so it could be quite a while before we move to the next stage.

obsession with body songs

We do drop into some quite interesting clubs from time to time and there’s various levels of sophistication down to sleaze depending upon the venue. This song is more at the darkened jazz club end of things and we thought a ‘body all over mine’ type theme would be suitably moody.

I’ll be honest, this doesn’t really fit with most of the other material, because of the jazziness, but I think its a fun track to do nonetheless with all of the Ronson-esque horn section accompaniment. The timing is really weird for it though and it snakes off into a world of its own by the end.

your body all over mine

remember me

There’s a bit of a standing joke between a few of us about ‘remember me’ which is a line we use when we call one another after usualy long breaks. We’ve decided to use this as the lyric for the next song and so its basically just sung about 20 times, which would be a mere shadow of the number of times we all say it to one another.

This is a more traditional dance type track, which mixes a bit of a guitar riff with some bloopy synthesizers and would seem in keeping with the stuff from Singularity. We think of it as a bit old school now, but I quite like it when the synth stabs in part way through.

prophesy

Time to do some songs with rashbre. We decided to start with something simple, so its basically a guitar and me singing.

Somehow we’ve managed to make the guitar sound like two different ones by pushing a few buttons.

Its not a bad track and it is here. Prophesy.

china in my tang

Dropped into China Tang’s for a while. A few of us had a late snack before going our separate ways. I think I was already a little bit sqiffy when we arrived having been at another place until around eleven.

The next table was full of models, which somehow didn’t seem to go with the quantities of food on display.
