I have become the classic blogger – the one who just can’t keep their mouth shut. But ultimately there’s just so much to talk about, to listen to. I’m going to use a blogging tool called WordPress, which I’m only just learning to use – my theory that content is king and no-one really cares about design in these days of so-called “Web 2.0” will be tested. I am going to leave this blog in a fairly non-cosmetic state for a while.
Music. I think its all coming back. Its been a strange run – stranger than I ever thought possible – but now my baby is starting to sleep, the air around my head just seems easier to breathe. That’s not the main reason, though – I went to a gig on Friday night that reminded me why I love music so much – The Blue Nile playing at The Barbican in London. It was devastatingly magic. Some people just don’t get their music, but I have to say it hits me right in the soul.
Tomorrow I am heading up to Brian Eno’s again to do some recording, tea shopping and eating of lunch in the fine establishments of Westbourne Grove. I had to go to the studio today to collect all my gear – which I haven’t touched since January. Its scary, really, thinking that I actually have to plug it in and somehow make it work. Still, he is an inspirational character, so if anyone can give me reason to bother, it is him.
That’s enough for now. Expect a mixed bag in this journal. Some posts will be out and out techie stuff, as I’ve had my head down in Flash ActionScript world for months, and have learned a few tricks. There will be baby stuff. There will be the progress of my new EP – “Time Once A Friend”. There will be the excitement of my project I’m working on with John “Big Issue” Bird. Oh yes – it will be a mixed bag.
