Exploits of the Frictionless Man as it wanders around the world like some kind of slippery hydra. Music, words and pictures a speciality.

If my teeth were slightly whiter.....

F Guitar has continued recording his guitar parts today, he started Thursday afternoon, did more on Friday and I think he is going to do more on Wednesday. Surely he must have played all the notes by now? He tells me it is going very well, which is nice to hear. He explained what he had done to One Cloud on a Grey Day to me and I understood for a while, but once I got off the phone and tried to think about it all the information dropped out of my head, so all I am left with is the knowledge that what he said sounded great, but I'm buggered if I can remember what it was.

Bass was finished Thursday and sounded great. We even did "innovative" bass abuse for Process of Me. Everything is coming together brilliantly, and considering we have only been going since November and I'm the only one who has done any recording before, we have progressed a long long way. Clever us. Gold stars all round.

We play in the University tonight for the Socialists. Come along and support us and find out what it is all about.

I found this the other day and it made me feel quite numb.

I remember talking to a Texan involved in the closures at the University and being unable to argue against his extremely well prepared reasons for cuts. But reading this made me think that it is not just the developing world that gets eaten up by the predators. Hearts minds and entire lives are fair game wherever they happen to be exposed, be they in war torn Iraq or fiscally strapped Swansea its only worth having it if its making cash.
