Brain storming

Everyone loves a spider chart. Just having a brainstorm for “Jack the Ripper: The Musical”

Inactivity

The Horse's Mouth — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 10:14:29 +0000

I’m really excited for this year. I think it should be a very fun year for all kinds of reasons. I’ve finally stepped up and bought an audio mixer and stuff so technically I am able to broadcast live performances and all that kind of thing. It’ll also mean that I’ll be able to record songs a lot quicker and what not.

I know I’ve not been all that active on here but that’s because I have wanted to take a little break and take stock on how I should be doing things. I think I’ve worked stuff out now and I’m happy.

Here’s to 2010 and the possible completion to “Jack The Ripper: The Musical”.

To The Victor, The Spoils

Just been listening to stuff I was working on before the new year. I should probably get cracking on the Ripper Musical. I’ve not read the books for a while and I’ll be honest, I’ve lost a bit of the fire in my belly about it but I’m sure in the end I’ll get it finished. It’s quite hard after so many month to get the enthusiasm back for it. I will though.

I also listened to some songs which I’d finished and not heard for a while. Its funny how stuff you think is finished turns out that you may not be as finished as you thought. I guess the good thing about putting things on pause for a while is that when you get back to pressing play its kind of like you are your own second opinion. I’m babbling but I don’t mind.

I got a new keyboard and its not all that great. The delete key is shitty. And this keyboard makes a hell of a lot more sound than I’m used to. I’ll get over it. Soon the tippity tapping will make me feel right at home.

Shooting The Shit

Still going for a walk, I just thought I might as well clear up a few bits and pieces regarding the musical I’m writing about Jack the Ripper

Seen A Ghost (Sneak Peak)

I’m writing a new song for the Jack the Ripper musical. Here is a little sneak peak at it’s progress…

Another Day Another Dollar

It’s cool having a really part time job. It’s cool cos tomoz is my last day before another 4 days off. Its so good. Its not as if I got stuff planned or stuff like that. If anything, the opposite. I love it…

I’m getting second thoughts about the Jack the Ripper musical. I am reading a book about it and it did disturb me a little bit. Everybody knows that Jack the Ripper was a murderer of Victorian times. Many years ago and all that kinda thing. The other thing people know is that he got away with it, evaded the police etc. So anyway, I was reading this one chapter and it says in detail how he carved up this poor unfortunate. He was fucked up and I don;t think its good to make light of something that is quite serious. The musical was never going to make fun or downplay the story more the whole legend that surrounds it and how he more or less got away with it forever. Damn having a conscience…

I got to go to bed anyway. Another early start tomoz…

New Video Blog

Yeah, here’s the demo mentioned in the video. I think I recorded it once and forgot about it… Well weird.

No Sleep Till Norfolk

This really sucks. I need to have been asleep by 10pm. Its now like 11.30pm and I have to get up at 6am tomoz ‘cos I got work at 7. Why am I blogging about this? I dunno. I just hope that it’s going to help me sleep if I do some blogging. Heck I’m on my second warm milky drink. This is a rock and roll lifestyle I lead.

I watched bck the 2 songs I did at the Wrestlers Inn at Great Yarmouth. It does make me want to do that more. I feel good about everything at the moment. I’ve had some more ideas for the Ripper musical and I’ve also got my sights set on the first new EP to be released in like 3 years.

Being able to sell MP3s on my site is kinda like having my own record label. Well it is a bit. It makes me feel more important. I think I’m gonna call my web label “Super Awesome Records”… I duno yet but its fun… I also made my first sale today. Found sme glitches in the store but so what. I sorted it. I’m gonna update the site pretty soon. Maybe even tomoz…

Web Store?

The Horse's Mouth — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:18:14 +0000

Yes. Web store question mark. This morning I was trying to sort out a MP3 store for the site. It is way too friggin’ difficult for me to even try to comprehend. This conclusion came after I spent an hour or so going ’round in circles.

I took a little break, read a book in my favourite place of solitude, the local duckpond and I feel refreshed and revitalised. I have just been searching around for some cool stuff for the Jack the Ripper musical I’m doing. I should probably get started on lyrical stuff. I find it difficult. The book I’m reading is meandering through theories on how the Ripper is a certain guy and stuff and not the actual facts of what he did etc. I don;t want to glamourize what he did, I just want to tell the story and how it’s become part of English folklore. Yeah I’m sounding poncy now
