Keep Music Live

Just came back from a good long run. Along the way I passed one mitten, a kid's jacket, a kagool, a small pair of leggings, a ladies shoe with a broken heel, a wellington boot and a pair of old knickers. That's almost a whole outfit. Which reminded me of a fancy dress party I once went to as a cowboy, only to find out when I got there that the fancy-dress aspect of the party had been cancelled and no-one had told me. I managed to lose the hat but there was no disguising the tassle waistcoat and the homemade spurs glued to the back of the boots for the rest of the evening.

Just set up a recording date next month to record the drums for a new album of songs I've been working on. Really looking forward to it already. I've recorded the guide backing tracks for Mark [the drummer] to play along to and will record the rest of the parts when the drums are done after the 19th May. Be much cheaper to use sampled drums, but desperately trying to adhere to the old 'Keep Music Live' sticker on the back of one of my guitar amps. I had to tear off the 'Home Taping Is Killing Music' because it's the only way I can afford to record songs these days. 

Just rediscovering my old lost Teenage Fanclub records [bought the CDs cheap in Fopp last week]. About to rediscover The Sundays too...
