Number 3 for Berlin Comp
This one is not my FAV , but it's about how they feel on the US/Mexico fence

Hey Sliders - MJEB is working his usual videoclip magic right now and it got me thinking about the weird sci fi I am watching at the moment on youtube.
Youtube is full of these cheesy as can be, low budget, possibly public domain old movies and you might find me watching these late into the morning. This one is a trip, the low budget effects are terrific. This is class A cheesy stuff. Watch at your own risk!!
That was a fun evening :-)
Proof of concept? Check!
Song Arrangements? Needs some tweaking. Light in the distance worked as an acoustic only version, Same Old Blues needs a tweak. What we expected really.
Sound Production? Close but no cigar - we still need some directed fold back. When I made a face about that, Theo reminded me that 'you know all that unplugged stuff a few years back? Well, there were still plugs'
New Songs? Yep we even tried some unfinished stuff that will be coming into the set soon.
Tapas? Did someone say Tapas?
Cheers to Pete. Claudette, Suzanne, Rose and Michael for being test subjects and to Raquel and Maria for looking after us down there.
Ok, so what's the upshot?
That was frickin awesome and we're doing it again next Thursday.
It's ON. Very nearly wasn't. Big Ups to to Theo for making some time and a bit of effort from Mr Wizard and myself, the Cellar is ready.
Tomorrow night, Thursday 8pm-10pm (or until we get sleepy), the first 'cellar session will be happening in the basement of Raquel's on Oxford St
We have our very own basement bar and we'll be playing whatever we feel like. If there's no one there, we'll even start working on new songs.
There's Tapas and drinks upstairs(and we'll work out how to do it downstairs soon).
We've even got a VIP area!
ooh lounges!
This will be acoustic (ish), intimate (it's a small bar) and could become quite a vibey little deal. Downstairs at Raquels Spanish Kitchen, 98 Oxford St, Darlinghurst, just up from corner of Crown and Oxford!
What can all this stuff I got from Reverse Garbage be for?
I'm making a prop for a videoclip idea.
if you guess what prop I'll make out of this stuff, I'll send you something (who knows what but we'll make it worth your while)
Ze Mind, She Boggles!
Oh I should add I also got some silver foil, black plastic, binoculars, gold lame material and an X-box electric guitar.
That last item is a Red Herrring, it's a prop for the prop to use.
Oh I also got a pianola roll.
That's also a red herring but an interesting purchase.
