Ouch! My bald pate is sunburnt. It’s sore, it’s sore.
Today, got to get all my work done. Got to get it all done before deadline. Went mad and ordered a new digital camera on condition that I can flog my old one for £150 on eBay. I am constantly amazed how electronic equipment is constantly getting better. My old camera was the best of its class in 2002, but now three years later, I’ve bought a better one for a fraction of the price. Amazing.
Getting excited about the VDGG concert at the end of the week, though I won’t be listening to any VDGG music until the day of the gig, just to get me whipped up to fever pitch. 2005 is a great year for gigs so far.
More Sows’ Ears have been produced and are ready to be sent off to the US of A. Got paid for digital playbacks today. My goodness, the digital payment is pure profit and I am astounded that people are willing to buy music from a no good bum who’s never played a gig in his life. If only I was a proper musician, I might make some more money. 🙂

Was taken out in the car to visit a retail park, looking for a DTT Freeview box to replace our knackered Sky+ setup. Out of three shops, none of them had the one I wanted in stock – nor did they have any boxes with hard drives to store TV shows. Should have ordered one online, but I wanted to have a mooch in a shop. Sometimes some old fashioned shlepping around the shops is good for the soul, no?
On the way back, we stopped at the pub and had a couple of pints and a bite to eat. I was concerned that the man with the mobile phone would be there, ready to harrass us, but he wasn’t. After an afternoon in the sun, I got a big fat red face for my sins and a couple of quid lighter. On the way out of the pub who should be standing by the car park resplendant with a pint in one hand and his mobile phone in the other (clamped to his ear and engaged in conversation) than our old friend Mr Mobile Phone Big Mouth Man. People never change, eh?
Oh well, I sold out of Sows’ Ears again. 🙂 So the morning was spent making some fresh copies to go over to CDBABY. It’s a popular number and I’ve shifted a bucketload. I guess folks love quantity over quality everytime! So popular is the 4-CD set that I am thinking of just releasing another 4-CD compilation and dispensing with separate releases. This means that Without Words/Textures/I am Not Your Enemy/Fragments could all end up in a big boxset. It’s something I’m considering as it means my music gets out there with the minimum of fuss.
On a separate note, Dr Who was very good fun last night. It was very good fun indeed. 🙂
