Home Recording Number 2 - Can't Say No

I'm afraid that when the mp3 is uploaded to divshare it loses a lot of quality!

Another little work in progress for you....



Hope you like it

Home Recording Number 1 - Thorn in my Side

This is a strange little song. It has been flying around my head since I finished making the album. I'm not sure I'll ever use it for anything but it's good practice for me to actually finish songs, I'm always starting things I don't get round to finishing. It's the only twee-ish song that I've written over the past few months. All the rest are quite dark/melancholy.

Excuse the vocals, I still have a terrible cold. And my home studio is still not together so it's recorded on the trusty but lo-fi 8-track.

Here's the full version:



And here's the stripped down version:



All constructive criticism is gratefully received. I want this to be an album for you.

Album Number 2

Album number 2 is turning out to be quite diverse. So far I have four or five songs, each one completely different from the last. It's quite a bit darker than the first and will be much more lo-fi in it's production, seeing that I will be recording it myself.

I'll be recording it at home which means no live drums, I don't think the neighbours would like that you see. It's all quite exciting, yet scary. I'll let you hear some bits and pieces soon.

Skyscrapers and Scots in Kong Hong

I can honestly say that Hong Kong is the most amazing place I've been to on my Theoretical Girl travels so far. Glorious weather, amazing architecture, history, a mad mix of different cultures and a hotel room with no fourth or seventh floor, the star movies channel (I hasten to add that this is not a naughty channel) and sausages with noodles for breakfast! All made even better by the fact that the promoters, Jane and Mike, were the loveliest people.
