Up before 6 on a Monday morning?
This is what you can do when you are no longer beholden to anyone...
Today, I was releasing into the wild, a recording of the original Capital Models final performance, at Eric Brown's in Edinburgh on 26 August 1980...
Here’s my diary entry for that day, 26/8/80...
It shows the band...
...played 19 gigs...
...with 5 different line ups...
...at 13 different venues...
...in 7 different towns...
...in just 33 weeks...
The notes "Sweet Thrill", "Breaking Silence" and "Dance" refer to recording dates of the 3 cassettes we issued...
Starting around September 1979, we wrote 23 songs and in the 33 week period above, we recorded 2LPs and an EP of original material...
Could the band do that in its current formation?
Why not?
Anyway, on listening back to what I had uploaded way back onto Bandcamp for the release, I decided it needed some sprucing up...
So I spruced it up...
And out it went - with the previous, more raw version as a bonus for downloaders...
You can find it here...
Rockin'!
From the shelf, a Barcelona purchase (Christopher Tignor) soundtracked the rest of the morning...
Then, out to my mum's and took her to her Women's Guild meeting - a "fashion show"
Did her shopping, took it back to the house then tidied up her kitchen...
Picked her up after a couple of hours of pensioner fun for her and brought her home...
Meanwhile, at our home, Anne was finished...
The sun was shining on my work from around 2008...
...and I set up a new account on Bluesky...
...which looks EXACTLY like Twitter used to, before Elon Musk ruined it...
Only problem is, just now, there's no-one there...
Tomorrow, I would post this on the Twitter - or "X" as Muskhole has renamed it,,,
Jeez...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Tidying...
