A trip to FOPP today to, of course, purchase the new Alice Cooper album…
But I also purchased the Aqualung CD I’d put back a couple of weeks ago (£2), Lindisfarne’s classic “Fog on the Tyne” (£3), which contains, as bonus tracks, the two “B” Sides of “Meet Me on the Corner”, one of the first singles I ever bought...
Mogwai’s BBC Sessions disc, “Government Commissions” (£3), completed the quartet of quality…
Back home and old buddy and renowned ankle breaker of the parish, Mr Jim Park arrived for a wee recording session…
His annual Fringe Show is this year entitled “No Comedy For Old Men” (flyer above) and he was recording the intro “tape” for the show – a ninety second spoken word piece which was then laid over a cracking brazilian beat from a Blue Note compilation ("Homenagem a Mongo" by Som Tres from the album "Blue Bossa")…
Once we’d got the spoken piece down we had dinner prepared by Anne – her signature dish of salmon fillets on a bed of chorizo, onion and cherry tomatoes accompanied by asparagus and roast potatoes…
A slight modification tonight though in that the chorizo used was not the usual cured version but freshly made and cooked on the night…
Tasty…
An hour later and we finished off the track and burned three different mixes to CD so the best can be used at the shows depending on the PA system and the hall itself…
Took Jim into The Stand Comedy Club - as two of his cohorts from the upcoming Fringe show were appearing – then sped back home…
Watched “Numb3rs” half heartedly – it’s rubbish - before uploading my new CDs to the Jukebox…
Highlight of the Day : Recording again
