Saturday - but writing this next Tuesday morning...
As ever my playlist and pictures remind me of things I've forgotten...
Nearly the end of January...
Yesterday felt like a Saturday...
A really good day due to it having been Anne's birthday and it having turned out far better than anticipated...
A bit of a lie in today as the podcast was fully prepped by close of play yesterday and so was ready to go...
Reasonable outside - although, as is mostly the case these days, I did not venture forth...
Podcast up...
...and breakfast at home...
...with the radio - Radio 4, Saturday Live...
Anne went off to visit her mum and I went into the attic to do some "tidying"...
I found the family tree of my early bands, which used to be on the wall in the flat where I lived in 1979/80...
...and a couple of big pictures of my band Rough Cut from, probably, 1978...
Desmond Gurr, me, Dood Hamilton, Dennis Gurr...
We were originally called Berlin - a far better name..
Just before Dood left, we changed our name to Sven Diamond - can you see what we did there?
Future Capital Models guitarist Gus Bolton replaced Dood and we changed our name again to Kicks...
The band split when I left for Germany in the summer of 1979...
But before I did, the very first line up of the, at that time unnamed, Capital Models had one session - me, Ann Park, with whom me and the Exec Producer were at college, on electric violin and Ann's brother Jim on drums...
No recording exists...
I also found our old bus passes...
The views...
I basically just moved some stuff around...
...and added a CD player, amp and speakers to the set up...
...before I descended again...
...and got sucked into doing a couple of remixes for Edward Spark for his new project - working on a track called "The Curse"...
...which took up the afternoon (during which Hearts beat Dunfermline 1-0 and Queens' game in Inverness was called off)...
A beautiful curry for tea from Annie...
..and then a listen back to my Spark work...
In the evening, a "Call My Agent" or two and the final ever two episodes of "Spiral" entertained...
So glad that the ending (spoilers) was upbeat - everything could have been much darker...
Lights out...
Highlight of the day : Remixing...
