Too Much, My Head is Falling Off
Has rapidly turned into one of those weeks.
I'll be going to see the Matthew Bennett Band this Friday at the Water Rats, between now and then I'm in hiding from my housemates.
After living like passing ships in the night for years I think everyone has developed that couldn't give a s**t attitude as our lease is coming to an end. I have one of those note-leaving/text-grievence sending housemates. That's something that gets on my wick a little. But I'm sure I annoy them more I guess.
However, with any luck I may be moving into my mates place in Camden. Currenlty I live near no venues, or civilisation of any kind out in Brentford. So living near most of the venues I end up visiting regularly would be great. Plus there are parts of Camden that are lovely with plenty of parkland to go to. Which is important for me.
Meeting up a with good friend of mine who works for a music law firm as a new business/talent scout. She's lovely and looking forward to a good catch up on what's happening and where. She just got back from India too so no doubt she's got a few tales to tell. I really need a holiday, going to try and make it to Cornwall this weekend. It's my birthday and I fancy seeing my grandparents, plus lazing on a beach or some fishing or something. Cider will probably be involved somewhere along the line too.
Decided to hit the physical submissions today, do my bit for the environment and recycle a load of CD's. The funny thing about demos coming in that way is the cover letters/biogs/naked pics haven't changed since I opened my first demo when I booked acts for the Water Rats. In fact, apart from the format, demo packages probably haven't changed since the late 70's. In fact, some of the packages came in during the 70's and were only opended today by the looks of it. I still get sent cassettes. Can you believe that?
Was training with my new coach last night. My new competition is in a week and a bit and I'm trying to get up to fitness n such so I don't get a beating of an UmpahLumpah again.
Anyhow, going to get some work done. Hope all is rocking with you.

Subconsciously lifting phrases from my song huh? (see your paragraph 3 and my song Fake it! - end of verse 1). That's a shameless plug if ever!
So we know that you recylce demo CD's, wot about the cassettes? Do they get listened to or did you throw your trusty walkman away when you got your new iPod/generic mp3 player? I once had an idea of sending in an mp3 player with my demos preloaded. Then I thought - nah - they'd probably not listen but keep the hardware anyway, either that or ebay it.
Have fun with Jethro and Denzil!
Theres nothing wrong with procrastination. I have a box full of cassette demos from the 70s that are still waiting to be posted.
Some of these people are now famous, well they were .maybe they still are , its just that they are not around to enjoy it.
Our new release is on a usb stick with a little plastic figure stuck on top. Dont bother keeping an eye out though.!! because of the small swallowablw parts , sales are restricted
Can you still get Inche's Pales Strong Rough, now theres a cider... I spent a very happy summer promoing that around the fairs and shouting abuse at emmets from various ditches.
I might do that for a holiday.
