Hi! If you haven't already given in to Twitter, you're missing out on the comfort of the banal! Don't you want to know what I ate for lunch? That's ok, it really doesn't matter.

I'm exactly half way through an album.That is to say I've finished recording six songs. The other six don't exist yet and I'm not sure how to make them happen any faster. I've been asking my friends for songs. Working on a cover of Paul Kelly's "To Be Good Takes A Long Time, To Be Bad No Time At All." What a line!

Anyway, hope you are all good and safe and learning to be thrifty with panache! As my Mum would say "it's not how much you earn but how much you can save." Oh, NOW I get it.

Love Bic

Bic, can't wait till it's out. I have every one of them and just recently bought another with the extra 7 tracks! We love you and wish you luck on the completion of this album. I know it will be a blast!

Best,

Yen

I recommend a road trip. Great for songsmithing.

Also, there's a jam at Artspace Depot in Devonport (Cusion Sessions) 9 August. Come on by and you might get some song ideas! :D

It was worth a shot. Thanks for the banal Twittererererers.

Save is a four letter word Bic.  But then, so is cash???  What that means - I have no idea.  :-)  Have a great weekend.  Trev in Auckland.

You could pretend KT Tunstall was alongside you songwriting again like at 7 Worlds! That could work- you guys were awesome :)

Hi Bic glad to see your working on more new songs I look forward to hearing them. I was wondering what style the music will be for this album and how will it differ from Birds or previous ones. You did mention in the past that you thought about a rock album. I guessing that this one will be less meloncholly than Birds That was written during a darker time of your life.

Though I havent joined Twitter yet at least I can still go there and read what you are up to.  You could do a duet with Boh and or even get Pearl to join in for the song too that could be cool.
Peter.

Thanks for the update, Bic!  I haven't given in to Twitter, exactly for the reason that you wrote--I have a feeling it won't last because it's so limited....

As for songs, as much as we look forward to new music from you, I hope you take your time.  I wouldn't want you to compromise the quality of your art just for the sake of getting something out.

By the way, are you still living in L.A.?  I for one am ready to see another show, if you're ready to put one on.  No big production needed--just you with your guitar and a piano again would be great!!!!  :)

Just give the muse her good old time and she's pay her visit when least expected. Six songs so far ain't bad -ask Dan Wilson for one, got a hunch he won't say no.... Counting backwards for the "7 Wolds Collide 2" release. Keep listening to music, and take it easy....
