Screaming

Well, that song's going to be a Project. Gina came to play bass on it on Thursday and I have been listening and listening. Mixing it will be like drawing a picture by taking things away and moving things around. I have been shuffling it around in my head, losing sleep in fact, but that's what it's all about in the world of deluded artists. I've got to start designing the cover of the CD and doing some sleeve notes; I was going to write a potted history of my life but it's often too gruesome to relate so definitely not (did you know that gruesome is a Norwegian word? In the north-east of England, Geordieland, there are lots of Norwegians, and that's why Geordies talk as they do). I'd asked the musicians who guested on it to send me self portraits but only three of them have done so and I may have to send an email threatening to draw the rest myself! Meanwhile, I'm sorting out Chefs track with the others: that CD will take a long time to get together. I have put a new short track on Myspace. It was one of the little tracks I was going to put in between the tracks on Suburban Pastoral but there are too many of them now (at least five) and they aren't abstract enough! Perhaps I should put them on one of those miniature CDs and release them separately and more cheaply for people who haven't got much money! I could call the CD Bedsit Windowbox, or something like that...
