Updatey, Updatey

Things have been very quiet from the Twain faction of CVC of late, what with stupid amounts of real work to attend to. Still there are a couple of things worth noting.

* The secret plan to put together a live version of The All New Lucky Boys is progressing slowly with the agreement of the bumble bee jumpered Mr Kipling to come on board and play bass. Attempts to draw Jon out of the attic/pub/toilet and join us for rehearsals and thence live on stage have all been fruitless. Not a pineapple, not an apple. Not even a dirty berry. This saddens us, but still we plough on. We have a set list. We have a band. We've not all been in the same room holding our instruments at the same time, but that will happen, I'm sure.

* I've just finished repurposing an old Windows machine expressly for music production. It has a dedicated four input mixer and is running FL Studio 7, Adobe Audition, Reason LE, Melodyne and Jet Set Willy on a Spectrum emulator. Wheee! We must perform a Quirkafleeg!

* With the computerstudioatron now finished, I should be able to record some tracks for the covers CD compo - as soon as time permits. Time is a bitch though. Time has me tied to a chair with a hessian sack over my head. However, thanks to Bias Sound Soap 2.0, I have an old track ready to go! Will upload it this weekend. It's an ancient cover version of Gibs choon "Strong Bobby".

* Jon J. Ugulation handed me a grubby CD full of film related Radio Bingo t'other day. When I'm feeling sane I'll give it a listen and digitise tracks for the movie compo.

Twainy, over and out. Way out.

Interview went well - it was for a business scheme that provides office space. I need to get out of my flat more, you see.

Those uploads are coming soon - promise!
