Feeling pleased with myself as I did some recording last night for the first time in a while and started to lay the foundation of my “heavy” album…

Meanwhile, a VAT expert says that the clause I found won’t be applicable because of very sub-clauses, so I am back to square one and not as clever as I thought I was.

Pleased with myself as I managed to fix the mix of “Everything you ever owned is mine” and now I feel it is fit for human consumption. It was simple, just mix the drum and bass track in mono and adjust the levels according. It really cut out some of those extraneous frequencies and made the track heavier and even more ugh! (Which is what I wanted)

Cut from Facebook:

Dreamt of Junior for the first time. He has a little chubby face, rosy cheeks, very dark hair and the obligatory blue eyes. Exciting to think that it won’t be long before I find out!

This is a Krautrock-inspired synth track that didn’t make the grade…

This is another track that never got finished or wasn’t good enough for my last “album”. You can only polish a turd so far…it is still a turd. I like the guitar on this but there’s something funamentally wrong with it, too wrong for me to fix it at the moment. But you never know I might do something with this one day…
Everything you ever owned is mine… by vrooom

The MIB say: “NO!” Anyone want to buy one of my kidneys for £8,000?

I have decided that the insurance company are liable for my VAT woes. I have come to this decision by reading stuff on the Internet. I’m probably wrong, but heck I’m clutching at straws here…

I think I’ve cracked it. After three hours research online, I think I’ve found a way of giving it to the VAT man and not in a good way. This is clipped from their website: “12.2 Domestic accommodation 12.2.1 Employees If your business provides domestic accommodation for employees, you can treat any VAT incurred as input tax.”

But what does that last paragraph actually mean? Well I have a bona-fide, on-the-books employee who lives with us. Yes, my mother is officially employed by us in the shop and also happens to live with us in the house, so with one leapt Jack was fucking free. Take that, VAT man!

I’m using a website called SoundCloud to host this as I am posting a few tracks on my Facebook profile and this site has a widget that talks to Facebook. Anyway, this is just a little sketch I did earlier in the year, but it never came to anything other than two guitars and nothing more. It was recorded in two passes: the nylon acoustic first, then the acoustic bass on the second pass as if I were playing live. There are no overdubs and the multiple guitars you hear panned left and right are the harmonic delay feature on the Digitech Timebender.
