09 May - 22:49 Well well well, it's been a while. 5, 6 months? Too long. Ah well. I'll now try to bring you up to speed on events in the interim: 1. I left Cardigan, cap in hand, no money in the bank, to seek my fortune in the big bad city. I ended up sponging off Siri and living with her parents for about four months. 2. Andy settled in at home working for a decrepit bleeding-heart liberal, and is now considering emigrating to South America with Lady Wax. 3. Financial pressures from the Institution (damn you, man on my back!) forced me to look for a grown-up job. After a good deal of arsing around and self-medication for the shock of it all, I stumbled across a temp job working for Edexcel, proponents of such vital professional qualifications as BTEC Livestock Management. 4. In the fullness of time they somehow came under the impression that I was worth eighteen thousand pounds of the taxpayer's cash every year for reading The Bash and power-napping. 5. It was with these hard-gotten gains that my ladyfriend and I, along with two survivors of the notorious West London 'House of Death' experiment, were able to lay down a deposit on a good-sized and minimally-infested flat in Kilburn. The rent went out yesterday morning, I have 40p left on my overdraft, and payday is next Wednesday. Life is good. Well, that about brings you up to speed. I know you really want to hear about developments on the musical front. You'll be pleased to know that the imminent arrival of my computer will all but complete our home studio here. Between us, we have six guitars, a bass and a ukulele, as well as the requisite amplification and sundry bits of kit. So, while it may not be the sound you're used to, I'm hoping we'll get something online soon. And who knows, perhaps I can convince my illustrious partner in small instrumentation to pay us a visit for a hard weekend of beverages and recording, before he jets off into the sun.... Watch this space. - Ben |
