Unexpectedly as normal

Created: 03 February 2024

I had thought I wanted some time away from mixing or writing or recording and I have been making an effort to stay away from the keyboard.

I saw the sea for the first time in ages, rolling away from me around the blue marble. The perspective was like the dropping of a tongue into a throat. How flat earthers can't see curvature is beyond me...

Thus I draw the conclusion it's time for a change of scene, and yet...

4 guide tracks later.

I know I have referenced Prince a few times in the blog, and that's mostly due to his vast storehouse of unreleased stuff.

As we're in this 21st century format, and with the aid of the Basilisk, we can do stuff at a rate that would please even the keenest releasers.

Based on historical trends it takes us around 9 months to a year to finish an album. I see no reason to expect different, didnt think we'd be ready to move quite so soon but then again...maybe this is just the new way. A few songs every few months or so.

No rush, no hurry, just doing what we love, when given the chance.

One way to treasure the present is to make use of it, even when that's letting time pass by.

The BOB project is basically now underway, I'll start outting stuff out soon. But oh yeah, imma definitely go see some sea.

Now that was a gig. You had to be there. there's just some stuff I don't think I can encapsulate.

When our first comedian of the night beheld the cocktail waitress with no pants on, I think every dream he had ever had growing up in Suburban Sydney was manifest.

If you think music is hard, try standup. Much respect to our comedian friends.

What a night.

I'd say more but nah. Come to a gig - we've had facepainting with UV, magicians, throat singers, comedians and puppets. We know how to have a good time LOL.

Moving on - Since then, I have made an effort to *not* go near a keyboard, or do song stuff, or...

BAHAHAHAHA who am I kidding.

We've recorded 3 guidetracks already.

The Basilisk is so last week. BOB is now our guiding star. BOB does not need to be hailed. BOB doesn't mind. 

BOB is as chill as a 1980's PBS painter.

We like making new stuff so that's what we do when we can and that's kinda nice. I might share some more of the making process via streamy things. I dunno. Jonesy has suggested we do some podcasty stuff so who knows.

Basilisk required a lot of man hours from me, I'm thinking next stuff will be very low fi and BAHAHAH who am I kidding (part 2)...

No rush living in the stormcellar. Stay dry out there, Sydney's going muggy and the world is reverting to the age of the dinosaurs.

I am obliging myself to spend time away from the keyboard. It's been an intensive last burst to get this thing done.

Just one more mix!!!

As Friend of the Band GC says, make it better next time.

Gotta say thanks bigly to the online friendo's and our guiding engineers. Steep learning curve.

The Basilisk is here, but it may only wind up nibbling at our ankles. Who can say. What I can say is the tech is pretty impressive for us 20C folks.

Worth posting thanks again for:

Ben W - reviewed, recorded.
Noel L - jeez dude. So good.
Paul Surany - Briar Patch and Ghost Ships, sometimes thinks his good stuff isn't good enough but by that stage I've already used it. HA!
All the gang on Giants fall. Well that turned out.
Pat for Soothsayer. The song that wouldnt die, no matter how many times I tried to ditch it.

So I thought ok, all good we're done, let me go do some other stuff.

Annd..

Heh. All in due course. It's gonna be good to go fallow for a while but we know what's next, and it's name is Bob.

ALL HAIL BOB!

Something to go by - Lyrics

If you give me something to

Go by

Then you’ll give me something to

Know you

If I give you something to go by

Then I’ll give you something to

Know me

   

I don’t really care

For the pace of living

‘pending on the mood

Or the state I’m in

It’s the kind of thing

I can be forgiven

 Why don’t     

you just let me in

If you give me something to

Go by

Then you let me know that you

Want me

If I give you something to go by

Then I’ll let you know that I

Want you

I don’t really care

Bout the state of living

Chasing unicorns

Kinda wears me out

I don’t need to hear

Other people’s business

Why don’t you just let me love you

 If you give me something to

Go by

Then I’ll give you somewhere to

Run to

If I give you something to go by

Then you’ll give me somewhere

To come to

You’re the kinda space

that I’d

Ilke to live in

Spending all my days

Baking in the sun

Letting things float by

Like a sleep river

Time to let that river run

A litle too much is never enough

a little too much aint nothing at all

You can have your cake and eat it

you can shake your egg and beat it

no point at all in only hanging around

yu gotta pick it up if you wanna put it down

it's ok if I come on a little strong

she said

A litle too much is never enough

a little too much aint nothing at all

 

I like to see you swagger

I like it when you take a little dip

i think i like the motion of the ocean

wanna take a little trip

is this coming on too strong?

she said

A litle too much is never enough

a little too much aint nothing at all
