  • Footage from the Sunny session, plus who stole my bike?

    Hi everyone

    I just uploaded the footage from the studio session the other week, have a look - I'm playing, singing, and demonstrating essential snacks. It's on the video player on my front page...

    In other news, it was my birthday this week and as a special treat my bike got stolen. To whoever did it, with their big nasty lock cutters, I hope you enjoy it, you git. Bring back my basket bracket if you have a heart.

    On a brighter note, I got balloons, badges and booze, so quite frankly who needs a bike.

    Cheerio for now

  • Songs from the Sunny session

    Hey everyone

    Just a quickie to say the mixes from my session with Sunny Levine the other week are now on my myspace player - have a listen! The first is a new recording of 'This Town' which some of you will know from gigs and the old demo.
    The other song is 'Coins Hit The Water' - fresh out of the box.

    I'll be posting video footage from the session as soon as I've finished editing it!

    Manic week in Venice CA this week - Band of Skulls played the Hammer on Thursday, plus the Duke Spirit were in town so late nights all round. Am also getting into the Cali spirit of things and going to a yoga class. It seems I have curiously unbendy calf muscles.

    4th July fireworks over the marina were pretty special last night.

    I'd write more about it, but I am recovering from yet another kitchen-related accident.
    It takes a special kind of skill to drop a large soup pan on one's head, I assure you.

    Cheers for now, enjoy the new songs.

  • 4th day in the studio

    Just called it a night for tonight. It's a misty old night in Venice CA.

    Seemed to really come together today - Amya came back and did some more great violin, we spent the afternoon doing a little mixing and then Stuart Levine came by tonight and recorded clarinet parts. All sounding beautiful.

    I'd only heard the parts in midi as I'd written them, so it's very exciting when they come alive on proper real life instruments! I particularly enjoy waving my arms and eyebrows about to communicate parts to the players. I should have been an air traffic controller.

    Stuart said the clarinet part was quite Debussy, which was intriguing...
    One more day to go on this session. Mainly tweaks tomorrow.

    Tired now. This week I have mostly been eating soup.

    Hxx

    ps This is the possum that got made his home at the studio - he had to go, so we've sent him to a nice new life in the woods. Cheerio possum. http://twitpic.com/7qb87
