I usually aim to make these tracks two minutes long. This one is three minutes, you’ll hear why.

Back refreshed and sunburned I went to the music shop to buy strings and ended up buying my first ever guitar (I’ve been learning on a borrowed one). It’s from Canada and isn’t a semi-acoustic like I thought I wanted to get, just a boring old electric-acoustic.
Anyway, you know how you get one tune for free whenever you buy a new instrument? It just comes popping out when you sit down. Well, this is that.

This is my final track of the week. I never managed to get it off the ground. Thanks Jon you’ve helped stop me footering about and actually finish something for a change.

I’d never have imagined when I started writing this song that it would end up sounding like something Bill Bailey does a very funny version of. Thanks to Kumru for the backing vocal.

This started off as a list of words concerned with current news which I then freely associated on…..I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere and I almost abandoned it but somehow mid evening it turned around and came out quite nicely.

Almost the antithesis of yesterdays track. It seems to me a peculiar thing that after I’ve spent time writing a song I then have to spend more time learning it. As a result the arrangement of this was rather hastily done.

A day off so I had a bit more time to spend on this track. I enjoyed doing it….apologies to Captain Beefheart though. I think tomorrow will be a quieter day.

This is a grey summers day song. The sun did come out later on but by that time I’d holed myself up in a dingy room to write and record this. It was more enjoyable and less stressful than yesterday.

Disaster! After spending hours on my magnificent Indie rock epic I had to abandon it because there just wasn’t time. I had to come up with something else at the last minute and the best I could do was this very short and badly played tune. Maybe I’ll get the hang of this by the end of the week….

This is my last tune for a week. Mike Campbell is going to be taking over the site for the next seven days while I’m on holiday. I’m looking forward to seeing what he comes up with. Good luck Mike!
This track is an interlude, suitable for a scene change.
