Sat in Camden above the underworld at matting with agency and manager...I'm so deaf I can't hear what they are saying as the music is too loud in here!

The gig tonight has 451 pre-sold tickets tonight! It's gonna be sold out at 500 capacity!!! Can't wait to make everyones trousers/skirts shake with johnnys bass and chris's kick drum! It's gonna be insane!

Back to picking out words that are audible from this meeting!

The council dictated a "no louder than 92db" policy at the mix
position and an 86db at the perimeter of the festival! This made
things hardwork! :(

drums and speakers

was in an americans (nearly) £1000000 house last night where he builds his own brand of wooden topped congas and bongos. There were amazing pieces of craftsmanship and the sound was incredible! the resonance they produced shook the whole room! He also works for Lexus in conjunction with JBL and CROWN designing and fitting sound systems in the latest range of Lexus cars.....i was in my element! could have talked to him (in his mansion) all night! he is tho gonna sort me a snazzy deal on some headphones! (75% off!!!!) :)

i was too scared for my wallets sake to ask how much he'd need for me to take one of his congas home!.... even tho the hole in my pocket was a roaring inferno!.... maybe another time!

Recording

Recording

I'm back to sound adventures after my short hospital visit. Luckily
for me I can't lift any equipment still so I'm just barking orders!
"put that there" "move this here" etc....!

I'm out at LMW electronics again in the Leicestershire countryside for
c***rags new recording! Tim Waterfield is doing the recording and I'm
acting as the executive producer! Happy days!

Not what was meant to happen

For anyone who doesn't already know I'm supposed to be on tour
now....instead I went to a house party and jumped off a roof into a
tree...I missed the tree and landed on my head. I have fractured 3
places on by spine. Gutted...
