Little bit demoralizing the other night, when we come to do the drum part for one of the new tracks and Kev comments that it sounds a little rushed..the tempo is too fast. We decide, being the conscientious boys that we are to go back over all the songs and double-check that we like the tempos we have used. Subsequently, we have now scrapped four of the songs and are now re-recording them. I knew I spoke too soon about being ahead of schedule. Oh well, we just keep going, I am off down to the studio in about an hour to start again.

We took a break last night as Kev had some family commitments that meant he couldn't record (although we still found time to check all the new tempos, dedicated eh? ;o)
I hung out with friends instead, some of whom I haven't seen in a really long time. It's odd how everyone is now starting to head in their own direction. I noticed it last summer, but this year it's more pronounced, the gaps don't necessarily grow bigger, just the effort we make to bridge them. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, or that it bothers me, just that John Lennon was probably right, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." Don't worry about me though, I'm taking plenty of time to stop and smell the roses.

So I gotta go and get some jobs done before I head back to the studio, so i'll catch you later.
