My Absence from blogging is excusable on the grounds that I was very busy :P

So yeah.

The reason I didn’t update last Sunday was because I was so wound up in producing this damn album thing that I didn’t realised I’d forgotten till Tuesday.

I suppose I should probably say what’s been going on then. Well, as of now the music for the album is almost entirely done. 5 of the 6 essential tracks have been recorded and Stephen is fixing up the sixth. I’ll do two more tracks over Monday and Tuesday; one will be a cleared up version of the love song that I improvised on blogtv, and the other will be an experimental instrumental.

This makes the lineup of tracks (roughly in this order):

Travelling Song

Blue

I Follow my Leader

I Like The Rain

Twenty

Pride & Envy

Sketches

I love you, yes I do

Sketches being the instrumental and Twenty being the new title of what was originally ‘Going on Twenty’. What I’m not sure of is what to call it. ‘How to Be’, ‘Pride & Envy’ and ‘Twenty’ are all options though I’m sure I’ll think of something.

Right now I’m working on the presentation of the album thing. It’s going to be in a small A5 book, instead of the classic jewel case, with pages with lyrics, notes and artwork about each of the songs. Should be cool if I can do it. I’m going to run off about twenty copies to take with me to SiTC, all of which will be hand made. Probably be collectors items one day if I’m ever famous

I had some promo shots done today by an old school friend, he had some impressive kit. I would love to show you but he said he wouldn’t have them available until Tuesday; this is the problem of working with  analogue film.

There was likely more to say but I’m feeling so tired that my brain is steadily ceasing to function. I’ll probs post a quick video at some point this week informing those who don’t stalk me as much about what’s going on (lol jk guys ).
