alright? warm regards from a hot & sticky london summer. things are all moving along here, just been getting the first couple of songs from the record out to people and the response so far is pretty good, which i'm pleased about although i've heard from a few people that were big fans of "glue" who are somewhat suprised with the new - musical direction - and miss the lazy americana sound of old. i'm not really sure what to say that, apart from , i dont miss it at all :)

I was back in the studio this week putting the finishing touches to two songs for the album, they were sounding good but just sitting back and enjoying the ride a bit too much, you know what i mean? well, i prodded them both with a big metal rod and threw some burning coals on them , and they've come out as some bastard sons of springsteen's darkness of the edge of town and mahalia jackson slugging it out with the dead weather after a bottle of Gran Patron. Deliverance indeed.

Been playing gigs most nights of the night around London. I love this the most; if only my amps would stop blowing up, it's a little difficult to make money this way. Bigger amps; that's probably the answer, yeah, to most things i suppose.

alright, i'll check back with you soon.
