Hello hello!
I'm decamped out of London with all my equipment for a few days recording back to my parents house as they are away and I wanted to get on with some stuff. Very civilised. I made a large lasagne last night and just finished making chocolate fudge biscuits. They are awesome however I really need to finish these tracks. I'm polishing up 6 tracks for an extended ep which will include Move On, Time and a Place, No One Looks Good When They're Crying (quite the melodramatic song name - may have to do something about that) which I've been playing a version of live for a while though this version is based around the bass guitar rather than a synth, initially atleast... really trying to get it finished today! A song called Regrets. Another song I've played live a few times now which doesn't have a proper name yet - it's presently labled as Casio Melodica Epic. Epic. And finally Perspective, the demo version of which I've had for a while but the proper version is sounding great with harp and everything. Harp is awesome. It's taken me forever to get these tracks finished as I'm not very good with keeping to my own deadlines but they really are getting there!
Went to see the first couple of maccabees shows since they finished the album. Really good fun and the albums sounding great. Matter however is shit and I would not recommend missioning it over to the millenium dome! I've been asked to support the maccabees at John Kennedy's XFM Xposure show at the barfly in camden next week which is going to be great and is going to get recorded for XFM and will be played out sometime in the following week. Awesome. The show is however already sold out - just saw a pair of tickets go for 60 quid on ebay! Can't wait!
I've been twittering it up hardcore... go get yourself an account and get involved - otherwise i'm pretty much twittering to the ether! It's rad! www.twitter.com/nicnell .
Doing a couple of remixes soon and some awesome people are going to remix tracks of the EP. Finishing an EP for another project which I'm really stoked about. Putting together an acoustic EP out of tracks I've written over the past year or so and working on tracks for the album which is going to sound loved up and huge. Awesome and a general amount of bigness. Also looking at getting more people involved in my live show... watch this space!
Ok. going to finish this song.... rad town!
