February’s track features birds tweeting *happiness*
We spent tonight in the studio – first I pushed the buttons and J played the notes, then J pushed the buttons and I sang the notes. Then J started arranging the notes. Kinda like baking a cake… a cake you can hear. And Exitproject said, ‘Let them hear cake.’ Or something. But the high [...]
We like the cello, we like Canada – we have a Canadian cellist
We posted on gumtree looking for a cellist a couple of months back and got a handful of responses. One response in particular stood out because of her impressive experience and total lack of ego. Score, right? Yeah, I know… Enter Robin the cellist from Canada! We’ve had 4 or 5 rehearsals now and it’s shaping up [...]
It was too slow, we had to start over
It was an eventful day in the studio today… we’ve just limped out. Our head’s are sore from being squeezed by headphones and our ears are knackered from listening to the same verse and chorus for 3 hours… But spirits in the camp are high! Recording has been done, progress has been made, tea has [...]
February song is 66% written
Tonight J and I sat down and decided to write the February tune – WOOP! Only 7 days behind schedule – not toooooo bad, right? *shuffleshuffle* I think saying ‘the heat is on’ is an understatement here, but we like heat. And all heat aside, we bashed out two verses and a chorus in about [...]

If You’ve Got It, Tweak It
I’m SO rock n’ roll that I’ve spent Sunday evening watching Cold Case and playing Solitaire – that’s right, hard core. The rest of the day was spent being music-ish, I swear. Practising and performing and more practising and a nap somewhere in there. But J (never the type of Ninja Butler to sit around) just wandered [...]
Lyrics – Make It Seem Easy
“What about me?” she said, “What about me?” He said, “I will never go from you.” He said, “I’ll be steady for you” You make it seem easy You make it seem easy Seamlessly guiding You make it seem easy “What about me?” he said. “What about me?” She said, “I will wait for you.” [...]
Let it rest a coupla days – then listen to it again
After a solid Saturday of writing and recording, our brains were dribbling out of our ears… in a good way… if that’s possible. Fellow musos will know what I mean when I say that you always reach a point in a day where you’re not really ‘hearing’ any more. There’s been so many ‘try adding [...]
Writing bridges and ‘What’s that buzzing noise?’
We’ve got a fair bit done today and all is well. J is in the studio listening back to my vocal takes even as I’m sitting in the living room typing this (I laid ‘em down while he went out for a stroll to catch some daylight…) AHA! He’s just come in to say he [...]
One Song Per Month in 2010
So the plan for 2010 is to write and record one song per month! No matter where a song is (in terms of good-ness, cool-ness or complete-ness), we’re going to put it online at the end of the month, no matter what… New tracks will be uploaded and available to listen to for free from [...]
