I know, I know.

Hello People,

It has been a while i know, im doing well thanks how are you? good? good!!

Down to business, WE ARE STARTING RECORDING!!!! it seems like forever since we have been in an actual studio making actual music so im actually pretty excited!! Lots of things to get organised, first and foremost - songs, then artwork, mastering all so much to do but i am excited to do these things, its funny how when you are happy to do something alot of work doesnt seem very daunting, its good.

So as many of you know we have been demoing for a very long time working on these new songs and we are nearly 100% happy with how they are, few little twists and tweaks to go but overall i can say it is our best work yet (i know everyone says that but if you dont have progression what do you gots?) so yeah many things to be happy about.

So on Monday we begin our journey, we will be filming a series of docos about the making of the record so you can see how we are going and how things are sounding and we will post those as soon as each one is finished so keep your eyes peeled for that. Now down to other exciting things.

Reading:

I have just finished reading Ryan Adam's Infinity Blues, if you like (or love) the guy definitely grab it if you havent heard him not the best thing to get, the guy is pretty messed up and this is a book full of poetry he has written about everything from dragons to cigarettes to sex. Its pretty cool. I really liked "27 Steps".



So i have a big huge pile of books next to my bed most of which i havent even bothered to look at yet so tonight i think im going to begin reading The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury, everything this guy does is amazing (not to mention the halloween tree being my favourite book EVER) so yeah ill keep you posted on my thoughts.

Listening wise these are the albums currently finding themselves frequenting my ears:

Augustana - All The Stars and Boulevards: First album from an amazing band, not as amazing as "Cant Love, Cant Hurt" but still so good, got a really 90's feel like Counting Crows or the Gin Blossoms its seriously great.

As Tall As Lions - You Can't Take It With You: Ok so mayybbbeeee this album hasnt come out yet but have you heard the new song at their myspace? (www.myspace.com/astallaslions) i already know this is gonna be my favourite record this year and just look at their artwork!! as if you dont want to buy it purely for that!! So excited

Pete Yorn - Back and Fourth: Nothing is ever gonna be as good as his first album but this is kinda along the same lines as that album and its growing on me, dude has a really good voice, check it.

And thats about it from me, i will leave you of a picture of what ive been staring at for the last few months starring your friend and mine Mister F-Man Maguire.

Love you all, Talk soon,

Brett
