After some cutting pasting and editing, the lyrics to the songs on the next album are all up online and can be found in the Lyric section.
This will be helpful if you would like to know the words to our songs.
This will be helpful to me when I would also like to know the words to our songs.
Yes, thanks to a smart phone and our mobile-website template, I can now google the words when I next get stuck.
Please note that the lyrics are subject to change. Whenever I get them wrong, they become whatever it was I just said, but then immediately revert to the correct version thereafter.
I'm glad I could clarify that for you.
If you've ever wondered what I just said, well, now you can check what I should have said.
The casual observer might see these pictures
and think, Hmm...having a flutter on the horses?
Whilst listening to the mixes in the car ,the only paper Theo had to hand when was the form guide, so for his session, we consulted the Form for Notes on Percussion.
And also the cross word. 9 Down, '4 letter word for Floor Toms sound...hmmm..'Boxy?'
This session was Theo's chance to fix up the sounds of some of the drum parts, adjust a few fills and as he put it 'Try to impress my Brother'.
Y'see, Theo's Bro is a Drummer too and during the editing on Light In the Distance ( I think), one of the drum fills was deleted, and as it was Super Impressive, Theo wanted it back.
The only problem was having to remove an earlier fill.
Theo and Pete couldn't find one they wanted to sacrifice, so to sum it all up, Theo left out the most super impressive fill because of all the other super impressive fills. Go figure.
He also pointed out the fill tribute to Pink Floyd, hidden away in one of the songs, playing a very specific Nick Mason drum roll. Very amusing.
Making some minor adjustments to the drum makes a big difference in the sound. Yikes.
With that session completed, we're gearing up for a session in the coming week that should pretty much finalise the mixes. Yep, I assume there'll be more back and forth, and probably a few more minor tweaks but like it or not, we're almost done.
Hey guys,
Just found this clip of Sonny Boy Williamson II - Great footage and mesmerising performance :)
Cheers

We've unexpectedly passed another milestone today as the first complete set of mixes for all 13 songs emerged from this afternoons session.
Mr Wizard got his dates wrong, Theo was unavailable and Rosie didn't think he'd make the brief review session we envisaged, leaving it to yours truly and Pete to do the final tweaks. MUAHAHAHA!!!! Feel the Power! Now I can add in all the secret accordion solo's I have been planning.
Or not.
Great! So where does this leave us? Well, we have scheduled a Drum and Percussion review day for Theo, and in the interim we'll all be listening to the initial mixes and making yet more notes. Pete will be doing the same.
That means we wont be finished next week, but thereafter? It's anyone's guess.
Hooray, we're getting closer!
When we last left our intrepid heroes, they were taking a break whilst Pete went to Splendor.
For it was written, in my diary, that upon the return of the Pete, yea verily shall we recommence doing 'stuff' and that we would also maybe get some of those nice sandwiches at the food court at lunchtime and maybe have a coffee. So it was foretold and so it came to be.
Oh yeah and I got to read that Syd Barrett bio some more whilst Rosie was doing Solo changes for Black Crow.
11/13 now mixed, fixes and changes made, new vocal approaches tried for Suit Yourself and Light in the Distance, a bit of work on the harp stuff for Even in a Lifetime and some other...stuff.
I've been listening to the updated versions of Black Crow and Texas Rosie and the stuff is sounding more polished. Polished is a good analogy, as we mix, we're starting to reveal the layers of the song.
We have another session scheduled this week and I can foresee a few more to go after that, but not so many. The end approacheth!
