We spent all last night writing our new biography.  We felt the old one didn't tell you enough about who we are and where we come from so this one should be a little better.  Jonah from the forest said "it reads like a beatrix potter story".  I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I suppose that means its easy to read.  Oh you should go to The Forest's myspace http://myspace.com/theforestofmanchester and listen to Lion Out.  Its out and its great!! My favorite track on there is "The lion's mighty roar"  I was singing to myself all last night.

I'd like to say sadly Cookie Cutterr are no longer going to be gigging.  This is very sad because they were a great band.  Kyle said he couldn't cope with the band anymore and has decided to stop doing it.  They might still be recording songs though so who knows.

Our album is nearly done.  We have two more songs left and we're thinking of a title for it.  It's going to be great.  We're really excited.  After two months of being on the verge of quiting I'm thinking more positively about the band again.  I guess I can never quit not really.  I love music.  I can't get away from it.  It's what I'm supposed to do.  I know it.

We sacked the band

no no.. not us..

I was speaking to Andrew from (Amida, Cookie Cutterr) yesterday afternoon and he mentioned that this is what Cookie Cutterr had called their first album.

I presume the band they were talking about was myself and Ted.  I did promise not to get offended when he revealed this to me but somehow I was.

Going back a bit Ted and I were in Cookie Cutterr for a little while.  We had a great time playing mostly Kyle's songs and one of Andrew's songs.  We really enjoyed it and it gave us a chance to play along to great songs with any instrument we wished to take on.  Shortly before Kyle decided to 'sack' us myself and Ted were worried that maybe we didn't have enough time to be in Cookie Cutter.  So when Kyle sent me an email asking us to leave the band we were happy the feelings were mutual.  I guess now it feels like there was more of a joke or a grudge against us.  Why?

Andrew did say it was a joke and that him and kyle didn't mean anything by it but I have to admit it made me feel a little sad.  Ted and I really like Kyle and Andrew and I'm sure this won't change how we feel but after dweling on it a little too much last night I realised it was the term 'sacked' that hurt. 

I can't stressed enough how great "Cookie Cutterr" are!! and we really love them personally and through the music and I suppose in someway it was nice the album title was about us.
