WHAT A TWAT!!!
I cannot believe what a twat I am! Eddie Izzard, gig of the week. Posters all over town – 28th July, 28th July. But he was actually doing shows for ten days, and I brilliantly had tickets for LAST THURSDAY!!! Looked at them to see what time he was on, and felt:
(a) SICK
(b) COMPLETELY PISSED OFF
(c) TOTALLY EMBARRASSED seeing as Hartleyface had given me 66 dollars to get him a ticket.
God, what an idiot. So no comedy night for us. Quite the reverse – I’m moping around in my own stupidity… I shall so a Bruce Lee, take the thought and burn it.
I’ve just been sorting through my old album files, hoping to burn them to DVD and put them in a drawer somewehere, move on to the new stuff. There are some great unheard mixes, sections that never made it to the cut, all sorts of gems. I’ll throw some of it online in the not-too-distant future but for now I just want to enjoy it for myself. Including an interview I did with a Japanese DJ in Tokyo’s NHK Station, DJ Takuma. They cut it down to about 2 minutes, so its like a pint-sized preview of the record. It will give you some clues, anyway.
Its a beautiful day here – bluest of skies imaginable, in the middle of winter. Di and I met Rose, a record company boss and all round lovely woman, and Stuart Hunter, the keyboard player from Silverchair, for breakfast up in North Bondi, at a place called Brown Sugar. A great little spot, actually. Stuart is a wicked keyboard player – I gave him a copy of Angels and hope he likes it ‘cos I’d like him to maybe be involved with the S*T*U*F*F thing. Sydney, being the cultural and musical black hole that it is, is making me believe I should wait and do the launch etc. back in London. I’ll see how I feel in a week or two.
Have a go at the Happytown Remix Engine – I did some decisive work on it late last night and feel its finally beginning to shape up. No instructions yet… just fool around and see what happens. Broadband recommended but not necessary. Later x
