Mood: speechless
Music: Broadcast - Hah Hah Sound
I've lost my fucking voice. Like, laryngitis stylee. Played a gig with a cold the other night in a smoky venue in Bristol. Gig = success. Throat = cunted.
On the basis of some poor inductive reasoning, I can only assume my voice will never return, that i'll have nodes on my larynx, i'll never be able to sing agin, and that will be the end of my career in music. See you down the temp agency.
Or maybe i'll just make instrumental drug music like Sonic Boom.

i smell burning
WTF?! http://www.petsnap.com/menu-nav/dstrollerSBC1.htm
Mood: I have lost my voice
Music: Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Last night we played our first gig since November at the Croft, Bristol. It was dead, dead good.
I was asked to write a bit about recording in the studio for The Fly. Here is what I wrote.
The studio is Toybox in Bristol, http://www.toyboxstudios.co.uk. It's run by Ali Chant, Stef Hambrook and the producer and musician John Parish. Howe Gelb, Scout Nibblet and Kid Carpet are among the artists who have made records there. Toybox is situated in a Georgian townhouse in leafy Portland Square. The studio has an abandoned lift shaft which makes a great reverb chamber, and is haunted by the ghost of a horse, as it used to be the stables of the building above. The horse was hanged for a crime it didn't commit in 1888, and its restless spirit now wanders the square in limbo. I saw the horse in the control room after drinking a bottle of cough syrup.

Making some real headway with the comic book, which we have decided to name Ultraskull.
Mr William Schaff has decided to risk his artistic credibility by donating a piece for the front cover of our shitty little rag.

Mood: unemployed rat-catcher
Music: Crescent - Collected Songs
Unbelievable quote of the day: "Any man who rides a bus to work after the age of 30 can count himself a failure in life". - Margaret Thatcher
Super fun link of the day: http://www.kleimo.com/random/name.cfm
Trying to organise a few Bristol shows before the Camden Crawl in march. Not much else to say other than that I am reading The Real Middle Earth, by Brian Bates, an exploration of Dark Ages Britain, the inspiration for Tolkien's Middle Earth, and it's fascinating.
