Apologies for the weeklong radio silence, I’ve been poorly.

At the height of my illness I told an American friend that I had been laid low by ‘the lurgy’ and she had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. She was, like, clueless. So, we totally checked Wikipedia and it seems that the word Lurgi (correct spelling) was made-up by Spike Milligan in the 1950s for The Goon Show and passed into common parlance (in the UK only, it seems) shortly afterwards. Every day is a school day.

Anyway.

Last Saturday we finally made a proper start to the 2nd Record. We travelled to Shrewsbury to record some drums and a bit of bass and some guitar with our trusty side-kick and long-suffering audio fixer Beth McGowan. Beth asked us to be there at 11am and we only just over an hour late. We had a productive and fun time and some food from Cafe Soya when we got home. I think there was some video footage taken at the studio on the handy and idiotproof Flip, so I’ll see about getting that online shortly. 

We’ll be kicking on with guitars and keys now, or at least very shortly.

Definitely soon, anyway.

Whenever.
