finding new music i love can be quite rare. i guess it depends how many tributaries youve got flowing into your river. sometimes its a struggle, all jammed up with trolleys and rick waller....cds. even mark kermode will one day complete his collection of the history of skiffle. could be only john peel had any chance of a constant fresh supply. but there are fish in the wandle and some things get through to me too. 'bon iver' for one, especially the tune 're stacks'. if you havent heard him already, maybe give it a listen.....http://search.playlist.com/tracks/bon%20iver%20re%20stacks....i was also slow on the uptake to daniel johnston. 'true love will find you in the end'. how long can it be til that appears in a tv ad? .....aaah, you know what bills doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar, thats a big dollar. lot of people are feeling that indignation....

and what we're doing, in our real lives, that doesnt involve admiring other peoples work, in no particular order....hearing 'what you waiting for' on a radio for the first time (its released in a month). nice response on music control and jonathon ross. i was sleeping when i got a text, simply saying his name. for a brief moment i imagined us playing live on saturday night tv. a bit like when my art teacher wrote down the winning lottery numbers and then checked them thinking they were his own. in fairness, he had nothing when the dust had settled, our song had at least been played. actually, thats not fair either. he knew what it was like to win the lottery. pretty good apparently. every cloud, so....played the borderline the other night and really enjoyed it. seemed like the crowd did too....working on new material in our studio, demoing it through a small plastic mike onto garage band and listening back excitedly.....we are doing another small world, promise, possibly in a warehouse. things wont get too nathan barley though. no plans as yet to invite the djs from west rocks the other night; jeremy kyle vs trisha, complete with face masks. i would secretly like to get the brightlights involved though, they played another blinder just after 'trish'. also, we have couple of more shows to come before the festivals too. details soon. and video. and photos. take care.
