Remain calm. Everything is fiiiine. Fine

Fine fine fine

Just fine.

Fine. Ok so I admit I had expected to be up and running for the next stage of test streaming. Technical stuff is pretty much sorted. With restrictions on gathering and a certain willingness to err on the side of caution, Content Production is moving....slowly.

Oh So Slowly.

Yes I know it's a pandemic and all. In the interim, I'm watching some more of our mates doing their streaming shows, encourages me to get on with it.

Our fave Kiwi Cousin has been keeping me entertained with a live stream for the last few weeks. At this rate it's going to be a bit longer before we're up and running.

Mr Wizard suggested I ramble on about harmonicas; I'm not sure there's quite as large an audience for Harmonica FanBoy Streams as he might think. Dunno. Maybe it's a thing :)

Meanwhile there is a plan, yes I am working to that plan, No I am not going to tell you what that plan is. heh.

Work continues on the gathered pile of songs. I still have many files of guide tracks to clean up and more keeps being sent to me. Ye gods.

Oh and the next stage of mixing for our most recent work will kick off in the coming week.

Patience and perserverance are good allies for this time. Once we get this stuff together I hope to be able to share the real-time making of some of the new material.

Making T Shirts during the Pandemic is just how we roll.

Here's Ms C finding out she needs a Small not a Medium :p

Getting this was quite a challenge, a story for another time perhaps.

Well done Ms C.

I know it's a pandemic and all but I would be very glad if our invited guests would Hurry The ....Up :) I have got the streaming gear up to next testing phase and we're pretty much ready to roll.

Of course this does require the gathering restrictions and a few other things to take their course first. Even though it's 'work' I am not putting 5 guys together in an enclosed space for the time being and the current restrictions of 4m2 per person means imma need a bigger boat.

So Duo's it is! Hurry up you lot, you know who I'm talking 'bout :-)

We're cool for songwriting tho' and yep, yet another batch, this time courtesy of 'Prospect' Fox.

Lookin sharp there bro'

And FINALLY! After almost 4 months of working on 'The Devils Preacher' I found a way through. Whether it will pass Mr Wizards filter is another matter, this one has been percolating since we got back. Whilst I may not have found 'good' I have certainly found lots of 'eek!' and some 'LOL/KEK' and avoided that, so that's a good thing. Maybe. Dunno. 

I'm in Air Traffic Control mode. There are a bunch of songs, I want to see them all guided safely to the right spots. Songwriting sessions will continue through the next few weeks and as they start to take shape I'll use the development time to test the multicam streaming.

Clarksdale Songs

Mixing is in the next phase of development, with some local flavour and Persons of Power summoned to the quest.

Radio Widget

Cos you lot have been listening to the Radio Station we've added we now had to upgrade the version :-) I'm waiting on some guest DJ's to add shows but we have 24/7 Stormcellar Catalogue on Random (no repeats) + 2 Radio shows, the 'Stormcellar Blues Groove' and 'Reverend Jim Beeble's End Times Good Times' in rotation. Go ahead, have a listen :-) We're fully APRA licensed thanks to our good mates at Australian Radio Indy.

Meanwhile in unexpected facebook messages

One of our mates in the US is getting so penned in that they're sending me 'Adult' clips. The minute this pandemic ends I think there's gonna be a baby boom :-)

MOAR TESTING

Friends Of The Band can be on the look out for some testing requests over the next few days. We need to check a few more streaming elements, I'll reach out directly when we test, as it's a little weather dependant on account of it being outside (safer, ventilated).

And in the meanwhile, Dear Reader - stay safe, stay home where you can and send any R rated content to my personal email account :P
