Um, "Anna Karina" now has a 3 minute piano intro. Its definately down to being friends with Graeme. Creating abstract piano pieces and 10 minute guitar solos is definatly his influence, for better or for worse :-P ( Read more... )

As always, I have a habit of drawing together exciting musicians interested in recording and perhaps helping out with any future live performances. Last night I recruited Amy the flute player for the second Lies Make Us Evil project, who does musical theatre and therefore does singing for her course!

I get a funny deja vu feeling whenever Jem is on TV. Its kind of as though in a past life, we were together. Its like suddenly seeing an ex-girlfriend in the street that you are still in love with, for lack of a better description ( Read more... )

I just spent an hour or so playing my guitar, and the two new songs I'm working on are starting to sound quite passable. Still need linking bits, and for me to settle on a final structure, but I'm pretty happy ( Read more... )
