Well! it's been a month since our last real post, and semi real outing. There was an attempted Howard Hughes recluse faze, i know he didn't really choose it and that it was more to do with the state of his mental health. it still seemed like a good plan. the less you say, the less trouble you get into. and if no-one can see you, then there's less opportunity to say anything. i also deleted all but 3 numbers from my mobile phone, just incase i got textually aggressive.
 i had to re-evaluate my philosophy when i read about boy george today. (if you don't know, he's been sent to jail for 15 months and refused to answer any Q's at the trial. this was allegedly because he didnt want to shock his elderly mother. it must have been real bad though, for Mr George has obviously had a lot of good/bad exposure over the years. the talk of playgrounds, work sites and churches for years. but anyway, i dont know what he was holding back to save his maw, but i dont think i want to. i also don't want to go to prison. so we have broken our silence. in fact after Mcgoohan's passing away, i rememeber that the prisoner also teaches this lesson. he's held captive while they try and find out why he quit his job. but he keeps schtum, in a very watchable fashion, and is thus held there.(note- he was in secret service or something, it's not like he was an accountant. so i kind of am on the side of #2 and co. it was the cold war.) and i sure as hell dont want to get sent to a village in Wales for not talking. i was there for a day when i was younger, that was enough. im sure it was brainwashing you because all i wanted to do once i'd left was watch the prisoner on tv. but anyway i digress, lack of communication over. i shall now sing like a bird, or another Glaswegian musician on Coke. your choice.
Well the big thing is that we've Splintered. I can't be arsed explaining fully, feel free to ask in person if you care, but Neil is now in a new band called the jets. and the other three are in a group called the sharks. it's all very ammiicable, no knife fights. just a lot of dancing and singing like before. it's just we'll all be singing different tunes to different rythms. think Genesis. not the band. but we're all happy, and still in the position we were before. poor, lonely and writing songs for ourselves.
We also got asked to write/perform the music for a local independent film that is still getting it's wheels turning. we're not too sure how timescales work for movies, due to us primarily watching, as opposed to making them. so you might have to sit tight. but it's quite exciting. obviously untill we ruin it with our songs.
no real scotch gigs for a bit. might go for a wee holiday soon though. and there may be dipping of toes into water as we try out stuff. but who knows. mainly be busy with the 3 R's
 
Recording, Writing and Recession.
Happy 2009!
See you all at the Job Centre.
