A slow time at the moment!

.....for lots of things really.

Hoping to buy myself a strat still but not until the J45 is paid for, but that should not be too far away. As usual, I'm impatient....

Going to practise rooms tonight to play the new PRS DGT at full blast as I've not had the chance to before now. I know it will sound great but it will be nice to blow the cobwebs away.

The new recordings are going slowly but the ones I've worked on so far sound good but some tempo issues here and there which are frustrating. Some guitar parts I've done that I thought were done, are now sounding a bit off with drums down. Very frustrating that it looks like I might have to do some again.

All in all, fuck knows where things are going at the moment. No gigs booked and none being offered is not good. Have people forgotten about us? or more likely, are they bored with us? I work on these new songs and they sound fab and I think "how have I not got anywhere yet?" I am good at this but no one seems to realise.

Recording is such an up and down process in terms of my mood. I know they are great songs but part of me feels like whats the point in all the effort. I put hundreds of hours into "Clean Getaway" my crowing acheivement, only for it to be ignored like all my other albums, whilst wanky cunts with no talent get recognition.

Also, I have no time to do it. I can't do any at night and when I'm off work, I'm doing Daddy daycare. I suppose its how circumstances change but its very frustrating all the same. Posey is my light though, so I have to think myself lucky that I have her.

As for biking, god knows when I'll get out again. I thought I'd have a bit of a rest whilst the weather wasn't great but now I need to get out. However, the lack of sleep is taking its toll and I really don't have the energy at the moment.

Its all so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a slightly positive note, Forest beat Derby twice which is rather excellent.

Jonesing for a strat!

So, I've been looking at strats for a bit and thought I'd finally decided on a sunburst American Standard. But after more surfing and research, I just think I much prefer the look of the vintage models, in particular the 62 reissue. Yes it's more money but this one needs to be another keeper.

A strat should compliment the PRS DGT quite well as I look to try and do some session stuff etc. I can but dream!

Feel a bit lost at the moment

As the title suggests really. Band as I've known it for eight and a half years is over and it feels like I'm back to square one. Yes me and Russell are doing new acoustic songs and they are starting to take shape, but I don't like the feeling of not having a "band" It feels strange and a bit up setting as I love playing in a room together.

I am feeling the need to rock again but I'm not sure how that can happen.

FUCK!!!

Muddy as hell

14.89 Miles Sunday just gone. Very muddy and paths fucked up thanks to the horses.

Felt really knackered after, must be Christmas indulgences!!

Happy new year by the way!
