Whilst our website was offline, we arranged the first window of opportunity to record a new song. Ok, make that we converted it from a Quantum Super Positional state to an actual 'oh, I guess we should start at 9:30' state.
Yes, the cat's out of the box. Will it work? Will our plans turn into a jumbled pile of physics notations? Will our cobbled together contraptions yield the required equations?
This Saturday we'll be charging the Flux Capacitors! Stay tuned for some blog updates as this suddenly coalescing sequence of random events mutates towards an audible outcome! And remember, if anyones going to make sense of this, it's your friends in the 'cellar!
Read all about it here first! Mystery! Excitement! Multi-tracking! Cats!
ARGH! Technical Gremlins are living in my sock drawer and attacking all my IT!
After battling my editing system to get the latest videoclip out, lo and behold our webhost blows up for a day.
Poor form from our hosting provider, but I wont name'em yet as I think they are in for some customer spankings, if all the messages I have been reading on their support forums are right..
Just goes to show how dependent on tech we've become huh?
ARGH!!!!! We're back now, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.
We drove up through a lovely clear skied autumn day for a gig at the Kent last night. As predicted, the St Patricks Day revelers were out in force, green shirts, green hats, green ties, you name it.
I had a few moments of bother getting acquainted with the mixing desk last night, but that's to be expected. Still digging the Mix Wizard but I forgot to select groupings for the aux sends or something like that. Anyway, that made me a tad frantic before we started up. Breathe in, breathe out. I am working on reducing my scotch-farmer-with-a-broken-tractor approach to dealing with technology, which occasionally involves some rather choice expletives about plugs,nobs, and last week, my entire computer. I am aiming to become someone who solves problems with a calm, clear, rational mind, as opposed to Fawlty Towers -esque shaking my fist at the heavens whilst jumping up and down and yelling 'oh thank you so bloody much'
My inability to find the correct button does not actually represent a conspiracy by all electric things to irritate me. Or does it? In fact, my modem is eyeing me very suspiciously right now...
Ah yes, after a quick jaunt into techno paranoia, shout outs to Louise, Ian, Steve and our visitors who last saw us at The Albert in Tamworth. We had a very enthusiastic crowd of dancers last night. I was checking through my pics and found one videoclip that kind of summed it up. I started filming this just before the break down in Parchment farm.
Another good night at the Kent, cheers to Double Bill for all his help and we look forward to being back at the Kent soon.
And yea verily did he trudge through a field in Agnes Banks, and Lo his socks did filleth with water, and yea did he squelch.
And did Rosie and Mr Wizard say 'Dude, wtf are you doing' and did MJEB reply "Stand Still' and also 'Start playing something @%&#*'
And did MJEB swear, for his was the slow rendering machine and the many reboots, and did ASUS grant him an improvement when he swapped chipsets, for he that has a wonky processor shall not stray from the path of 32 bits, and let him with a H264 codec transcode before he edits, so sayeth the PC.
