Tan Time

My new ‘axe’ (thank you Yussef!).. She’s definitely making the new record.. kind of sounds like a shamisen made by Lidl, its great. Any more donations to the random instrument amnesty for T most welcome…

Oddities and goodities!

Portishead’s Third. Aaaaaaaaargh its so good. This is the view from my imaginary cabin this evening.

Today was really really great. I got to spend it listening to one of my favourite drummers, Marc Pell, murk it on my new songs. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. He brought along a snare that looked like it came from Stargate and sounded like it came out of 1984. Charlie Andrew truly does make wishes come true, even when he has a dutty man flu. 

I also felt my mate Chloe’s baby dancing about inside her, which took my breath right away. 

Tomorrow I’m in rehearsals for a collaboration with the bonkers and brilliant Gabriel Bisset-Smith for this on Thursday »  

I have a massive crush on Amsterdam after just 24 hours. Good mooching with no maps. Got to see my lovely Dutch mates too and sing my songs. Dre jeep-tests his tracks, I eurostar-test them chyea..?!
