Twenty minutes of music are now available for the new album. That means I am halfway there… (Possibly title for next compilation – “I’ll Only Stop When You Break My Fingers”)

We have the date on which Junior might arrive via c-section…
Not really sure what this is or what this is supposed to be. Came from a bass line and drum and the idea was to have bass, rhythm guitar and lead guitar and not much else. About space, ambience and it sounding like there’s more going on than there actually is. Not sure if I like it. But then I feel like that about most of the stuff I am recording at the moment…meh…
I wasn’t going to cover this advert because I am trying to downplay my commentary and concentrate more on my music stuff here, but I’ve watched it a couple of times and it disturbs me so much that I have to write something.
Now we know that AIDs is a bad thing and that Hitler was a bad man, but I was told that two wrongs don’t make a right and this advert is a classic case of giving out mixed messages in the media. Now to me, it looks as if Hitler invented AIDs and somehow the health authorities are passing the blame to the Third Reich, but this is supposedly an attempt to give the disease “a face”. Awww, c’mon. We all know that Hitler wouldn’t fuck on the first date and even if he did, he was really into that German efficiency ethos and would have obviously used a condom!
But it got me thinking about how you could give faces to other diseases. For example, cancer could be Richard Nixon, sickle cell could be Idi Amin, Yellow Fever could be Mao Tse Tung. But then I am worrying if I am getting racist. Would Gordon Brown be diarrhoea? Think about it…
But will this stem the tide of sexual diseases? I hear that they are also using Stalin and possibly Mussolini into the mix. But the thing is that most young people today don’t even know who these historical figures are and would be lucky if they could identify Mr Blobby out of a line-up of other 1990s celebrities, such is their disinterest in the past.
But let’s riff on the theme of mass murderers taking on the mantle of other killer diseases. Fred West as salmonella, Ted Bundy is tuberculosis, and George Best is cirrhosis of the liver. OK, I fudged that last one, but you get my drift…

Today, received an estimated electricity bill from British Gas Business for £3462.62. They apparently can’t grasp the concept of the meter in question being disconnected from 19 October 2008 to 22 July 2009. This is one of the many reasons we are taking our business elsewhere.
Tomorrow everyone comes back from their holidays and the fun regarding the VAT payments restarts. I might just try ignoring it all to see if this goes away as well…
