_ studio fatigue

so there's a mix of Grosvenor Square floating about, some people have heard it, and apparently they like it..i swear there were no holdings of gunpoint involved, they did really like it. it has been called 'an improvement' and been described as 'bouncy'. that can only be a good thing, right? but really..i've spent so much time locked in a cave pressingg buttons it might not be good for me. plus i have found new things to do like spend my time watching videos telling me to get a Mac..and..sleeping. and writing new songs..which in turn make me wantto get back in there and record them..but maybe not just yet. give it a couple of hours.
im due in the Bombshelter tonight to finish once and for all my little ditty on the Square. so wish me luck, and there migh be a new song on willIAMsSPace this eve.

Bloody hell, I've just been reading the news...7 people died today because of the freakish weather and high winds across England. This comes after the mass fog that descended upon the Isles, and the weirdly warm autumn. and yet there are still people who deny global warming. I mean, yes, it's possibly cliched, but it's such a serious issue. 2007 is predicted to be the hottest year ever on record, from a combination of the El Nino effect and climate change, and there's going to be even more weather-related deaths and natural disasters, and quite frankly, I'm worried. I'm worried for the world, I'm worried for myself, for those closest to me, my family...worry-wort eh. we'll see.

on a lighter note, I have the majority of Plastic Greed completed, and am in the studios tomorrow morning to (hopefully) record bass and to do the string arrangement...and some final mixing. providing i find a bass, the track should be up over the weekend for your delight and delectation.

have a pleasant evening, stay safe (indoors)

Yesterday I managed to do the drums and 12-string, and it's sounding pretty damn good if i may say so myself. No major problems, which makes a nice change, and thanks to Smudge we managed to get things done quite quickly. Today was spent recording wine glasses (studio technicians had not a clue) and vocals...some nice harmonies in there.

Got to get my recordings from a tape - went to Brighton for a couple of days and spent the majority of the trip with a little blue tape recorder getting interesting sounds from the London Underground and from arcades, stations and sea, etc. random shtuff. haha oh and i saw Preston and Chantelle in a little cafe in Brighton....that was entertaining.

Going to carry on this week with bass and electric..should be up on myspace soon.

_ and so it continues

Went into the studio yesterday to try and remember how to use te damn thing. Turns out I couldn't...and spent hours with a dodgy desk and dodgy inputs. Was fairly annoyed.

BUT..I am due to go in tomorrow, to record drums for Plastic Greed, so wish me luck. Lord knows I need it.
