Life's still too busy to update this for a new week, and too complicated to write anything resembling the truth, so what am I to do with you?


Fri 10th Feb 2012
Here's a pretty straightforward blog. Myles flew into town early yesterday morning, and we recorded this in sleepy, snowy Ruislip that afternoon:



Then Jet Tea joined the crew & we went out into Camden & got absolutely jiggered, and as we were about to head home I bumped into a friend from Berlin called J.J in the middle of Camden hi street, he was running a night just round the corner so we went & joined him. Myles played a few tunes; I did say I could get him a show if he dropped by the 'don!

The Tuts are playing at Alley Cat Bar on Denmark St. tonight. Jumpin' Judas.

Wow, emotions, what are they doing here, did nobody tell my heart I'm 32 years old for heaven's sake? I can't imagine they'll be in town for much longer so I might just stay up alone tonight & spend some time with the bleeders at the source.

P'raps I'll share a moment with you, also. How's things? Why is there something intrinsically sad about moving on into a bright & loving future? It's positively funereal. Why does a blue sky look so much like death? Definitely aliens. As a companion to each saporous happiness, who are we down in the mouth for? My favourite thing about waking up with someone new is the morning shower in a house I've never seen before. Stepping out into the street acutely awake, clean but tainted with irrevocable momentum. It's on my tongue. Reminds me of airports & lying on my back on the grass; the rotation of the earth. Keys to an apartment in a different time zone. Pictures of old pets. A memory of smell, and a replacement so wildly other that the senses recoil as they indulge. Leaning on bridges.

Myles is visiting in the morning. I keep delaying my return to Berlin, as the longer I stay here in London the more artistic opportunities arise for me that I must acknowledge & pursue. Many ongoing projects at the moment, so many it's almost farcical considering the shortage of finished product. I'm like a factory line that goes in a circle. Golden Gate Bridge. Rounds of tea in a care home in Cornwall.

Sorry, way too busy this week to make a page-update, worth noting that thebed.co.uk is no longer in use, which is kindof pointless information really 'cos if you didn't know about teatone.net already you woudn't be reading this now. I should have thought about that a little sooner really, viewing stats have fallen through the floor.

Superbowl Sunday, USA. Elections in Finland. Snow chaos in England. A video I took at the Colour Me Wednesday show on Friday night:

What fuckin' week is it again? Proper losing track of all-sorts. Was in 'the studio' with Jeeps yesterday, after a night of no sleep following the show at The Comedy on Wednesday. We got drum tracks down for three songs, two of which are brand new tunes that nobody's heard outside of the live shows.

Going to see Colour Me Wednesday play at the Spice of Life in Soho tonight, will video a song for you if they don't mind, guaranteed to be a great night so come down all ye London souls, 10pm stage time.

Jeeps has always been something of a revolving door, but now that we've established a solid framework & sound I'm reluctant to replace members who are due to depart these shores in the near future. Including myself. I'm considering using alternative names to differentiate between various incarnations of the band. So when I get back to Berlin, maybe there'll be a brief burst of music from (Paper) Jeeps, (Crystal) Jeeps & possibly more. (Actual) Jeeps is still strong for the moment, regardless, look out for these new recordings soon..

All Things Change Week. That picture at the top pretty much sums up my life so far, except for the Growth & Success Plateau parts. Looking out for wake-up calls as we speak, heard a pretty spectacular one on Sat. Are we speaking? Kinda I am.

Jet Tea also blogged about the weekend, read that on JetTea.net.

YAY, more new music from Colour Me Wednesday. It's a free download (click options), and a fucking brilliant tune. They're also playing in London on Wed 1st Feb, why not go see them play & then come see JEEPS at The Comedy, click band names for event links!
