089 Tuesday The Terrible

In terms of health that is. The coughing has gone, but in it's place, a raging sore throat. You just can't win against these infections or whatever you call em. I have a lot to do today, however, given my present state, my body has created a magnet-like attraction to this bed. It's a great excuse to be lazy when you're sick. Just relax and rest and drink plenty of fluids. Check. I do that every friggin day. Now what do i do?

Laundry? Actually, there is going to be another practice tonight of the newest incarnation of the City On Film collective - the one that will be doing the November dates with Spitalfield. It's something completely different so I'm excited. I'll / we'll also be playing 2 new songs. So I need to do some quick preparation for that. Eventually... Right now, I think the time is right to roll around and moan.

Someone mentioned throwing together songs using lyrics from the tub so that i can finally get rid of all of that paper. But if the lyrics were made into songs, then I'd have to save them anyway for future curiosity's sake. What I really should do is make a song out of one of those high school notes. Although I'd have to give it away as a free download cause damned if i have to contact old girlfriends to give them royalties or something. We broke up for a reason.

I think for Halloween I'm going to be the character of Charlie from LOST. Why not?

How's the stubble coming along for the costume? And the heroin habit?

I think you should mix the tub lyrics in with the notes. The verses can be from notes, and lyric snippets for the choruses. Or chori. Or whatever.

Glad to hear about the full band and that you're keeping the violin. From that eMusic set it sounds pretty damn good with your music.
I missed Lost last week, going to catch up tomorrow though (sadly only about 8 episodes into the first season on this side of the ocean, but it's addictive). Charlie's good, but Lock (I think it's spelt like that) is the best in my opinion. His story's just so strange it seems to be the only one that brings across the magicalness of the island.
I take it you mentioning Charlie and being on the second series in the US means that they don't leave the island at the end of the first series, quite predictable but would be nice to have a different situation so there's not months inbetween a cliff-hanger.

Was John Peel day today (Thursday). I don't know if he ever played any of your Robert, but I thought I'd post a message about it to make a little more awareness of the day and the man. RIP John Peel.

i remember that a while ago on here some one mentioned hosting all of the covers that bob did. did this actually happen, or is it going to happen because that would rule.
thanks

I bet those notes are interesting! Good luck with the tour, you should make a short visit to Mexico!
Get well soon, Mr Nanna.

I'd be happy to host the covers! Everybody should hear that cover of She's An Angel... btw, why isn't that available any more? It's a shame...

^ I've got the covers of the Kind of Like Spitting tracks now, but I still think it'd be great if the rest could be hosted.

I got 'American Diary' today and it's top notch. Was the dog barking on it accidental or on purpose? It didn't sound out of place so I figured it was either a fortune mistake or it was an artistic touch. The backing of MTB where it appears is good stuff as well. Thanks for another great release, hope you feel better for the shows as well.

Oh yeah, what was with the "Maly" thing on iTunes? It is Mary rather than Maly isn't it?

Zinc zinc zinc zinc. I've found refuge in those Vitamin Waters too, but maybe there's something too good to be true.
