Hey everybody!

I've decided I'm going to start blogging on here and see what it becomes, there's always the delete button if it all goes pear shaped. Anyone know why we say that?

I've just uploaded the new song Enigma, which im quite proud of, however sinful that apparently is. I feel it shows a step in the right direction, and some development of my skills. And my lovely friends have told me similar sugar coated lies about it! ;) Love you guys!

I got asked about why I dont charge for my music today (and if you're reading this you know who you are! Lil!) and I said I felt like I'd be cheating people if they paid me. I dont feel like I'm good enough to be paid for what I do, and I can't imagine many of you would even ever consider paying me for what I record in my bedroom on a microphone that is tied to a 2ltr cola bottle! I feel like I'd be ripping you off, I dont feel like an artist, I feel like a child learning how to be one. Maybe in 10 years I'll think differently (lets hope I will) but for now I dont deserve money for this. And to those of you who WOULD pay, you're the special ones that I'd give this all to for free.

Its a catch 22 (and I should really get round to reading that! Its been on my shelf for a year now... ah after Illuminatus!'s lovely sequels and prequels), the people who WOULD pay SHOULDN'T have to! Its just making the ones that wont pay cough up! Heh! Maybe not the best phrase to be quoted on!

Also I hit 100,000 plays today! That is an amazing total, and something I never expected, having only been doing this (properly) since August last year! In the first two years of having myspace I managed 1000 plays, in the last 9 months I've had 99000! So big change and very happy!

I hope that once I finish my Uni exams, I'll have a bit more time to relax and write some nice songs, I've got a lot of ideas and a lot things I want to try!

Wishing you all a good weekend, or whatever day it is whenever you read this (assuming linear time prevails - always hope it doesnt). So all in all, have a happy "two days before the day after tomorrow"! For people that consider that to be a puzzle, answers on the back of a postcard and mail them to Gordon Brown with the heading "When should you start making this country run properly"!

Goodnight all!

I think any good artist, even a beginning one, deserves something in return for the labor. I would gladly pay you for what you produce in the hopes that you would use it to improve your music. Maybe get some better equipment. ....Anyway, keep up the great work! :)..
